Chefs who trained at two-Michelin-star kitchens in Italy make the Napoli mare pomodoro pasta and a balsamic-glazed salmon steak built on a doenjang (fermented soybean paste) sauce, and every table starts with green onion focaccia baked in house; the space is also rented out for outdoor weddings and dol (first birthday) parties. Romaok Riverside was worth the trip for the river view, but the food is the reason to go back. ## Good to know - **Lunch hours**: Daily 11:00–15:00, last order 14:00 - **Dinner hours**: Daily 17:00–21:30, last order 20:30 - **Parking**: Han River Sports Park lot; first hour free, then 200 won per 10 minutes - **Bread service**: Green onion focaccia, served free before the meal - **Recommended dishes**: Napoli mare pomodoro pasta, balsamic-glazed salmon steak - **Event rental**: Available for outdoor weddings and dol (first birthday) parties *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Exterior view of Romaok Riverside hanok restaurant in Namyangju's Mieumnaru](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-01-lqrzs-1200.webp) I was looking for a restaurant with a Han River view near Paldang and ended up at Romaok Riverside, a spot in Namyangju's Mieumnaru area. True to its name, it's a place where the quiet atmosphere of a hanok (traditional Korean house) meets Italian sensibility, and I fell for the mood the moment I walked in. A garden overlooking the Han River blends with the hanok, making it a great fit for dates, family gatherings, or anniversaries. The food is made by chefs who trained at Michelin two-star restaurants in Italy, so genuinely everything on the menu was delicious! ## Romaok Riverside opening hours and parking Romaok Riverside is open daily for lunch 11:00–15:00 (last order 14:00) and dinner 17:00–21:30 (last order 20:30). ## What the hanok dining room in Mieumnaru feels like ![Romaok Riverside hanok building and garden view](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-02-16j2c-876.webp) ![Outdoor area at Romaok Riverside overlooking the Paldang Han River](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-03-7u50l-900.webp) ![Hanok atmosphere near the entrance of Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-04-dewgq-900.webp) For parking, use the Han River Citizen's Park lot. The first hour is free, and after that it's only ₩200 per 10 minutes — very cheap! ![Path to Romaok Riverside from the Han River Citizen's Park parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-05-1h23z-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the hanok courtyard at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-06-184c2-900.webp) ![Garden and Han River view at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-07-1a5gi-900.webp) ![Paldang Han River view seen past the hanok eaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-08-1iesh-900.webp) Romaok Riverside's biggest draw is the combination of the Han River view and the hanok setting. ![Seating area with Han River view at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-09-lwank-887.webp) ![Vertical photo of the hanok interior at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-10-1wwfq-825.webp) ![Interior of Romaok Riverside with the Han River visible through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-11-aklxi-837.webp) ![Horizontal photo of the outdoor area at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-12-wxftq-881.webp) The vibe is so different from a typical Italian restaurant that the meal itself felt like a course experience. The Paldang Han River view out the window is gorgeous, and the outdoor area is nicely decorated too, so it's a great spot for photos. ## Can you rent Romaok Riverside for an outdoor wedding or dol party? ![Outdoor wedding rental space at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-13-1heg0-900.webp) ![Rental space at Romaok Riverside available for dol (first birthday) parties in Namyangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-14-1plfi-900.webp) *A Namyangju restaurant that hosts dol party rentals* Romaok Riverside is an Italian restaurant that also takes venue bookings. If I ever get married again... haha, the space is pretty enough that I'd genuinely want to do it here. ![Event space set against the hanok and Han River backdrop](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-15-4kp7e-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of the rental space at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-16-y5iow-900.webp) With the Han River and the hanok as a backdrop, it's an ideal place for a special occasion. Thanks to the hanok's calm atmosphere it's lovely in the daytime, but I imagine it comes alive even more at sunset. ## Romaok Riverside menu and the free green onion focaccia ![Free pre-meal bread setting at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-17-k0pat-900.webp) *Complimentary pre-meal bread* The food at Romaok Riverside is an Italian-Korean fusion, so it's not your usual menu, which makes it more memorable. Because chefs formerly at Michelin two-star restaurants in Italy are behind it, every single dish felt fully realized. ![House-baked green onion focaccia served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-18-q0h6k-625.webp) *The green onion focaccia served before the meal* The pre-meal green onion focaccia is baked in house too, so it comes out completely warm and moist — it practically melts even with just a dip in olive oil. ## What to order at Romaok Riverside: pomodoro pasta and doenjang salmon steak ![A plate of Napoli mare pomodoro pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-19-1710y-890.webp) *The pomodoro pasta has a rich sauce* There's a wide range of menu options, so it's great for a group to visit and share several dishes. My picks are the Napoli mare pomodoro pasta and the balsamic-glazed salmon steak. ![Plating of the balsamic-glazed salmon steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-20-8x4lz-900.webp) *An incredibly tender salmon steak you must try!* The salmon steak pairs the fish with a doenjang (fermented soybean paste)-based sauce, which sounds like an unusual combination but works surprisingly well — a must-try if you come to Romaok. Beyond that, the maesaengi (seaweed) scallop risotto should suit adult palates well. Kids love the mushroom cream risotto for children and the gorgonzola pizza! The tenderloin steak paired with wine is also really good! If you book through Naver Place, you can also use a coupon for the early dinner children's mushroom cream risotto! It's tasty enough that even picky-eating kids will finish the whole bowl! ![A dish served at a table at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-21-p0can-900.webp) One tip: given the nature of Italian cooking, the seasoning can taste a bit strong overall, but you can ask them to adjust it when ordering — worth mentioning in advance if you usually prefer things milder. ![Horizontal photo of a dining table at Romaok Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-22-4mkhj-900.webp) ![Paldang Han River view seen from a hanok window](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-23-1ak1h-900.webp) ![Closing shot of the Romaok Riverside hanok exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon-24-1wxbk-m-900.webp) If you're looking for a restaurant with a Paldang Han River view, Romaok Riverside isn't just about atmosphere — the food has its own character too. Italian-Korean fusion cooking by Michelin-trained chefs, served in a hanok, plus house-baked green onion focaccia. I came for the river view but now want to come back for the food — this Namyangju Mieumnaru restaurant is one that will stay with me. ## Where it is - Romaok Riverside (로마옥 리버사이드) - 16-13 Gangbyeonbuk-ro 632beon-gil, Namyangju Han River Citizen's Park parking lot, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 남양주시 강변북로632번길 16-13 남양주 한강체육공원 주차장 - 37.5856158, 127.1711802 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%A7%88%EC%98%A5%20%EB%A6%AC%EB%B2%84%EC%82%AC%EC%9D%B4%EB%93%9C/@37.5856158,127.1711802,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-dining-seat/romaok-riverside-namyangju-hanok-salmon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
