On a weekday lunch with no wait, the writer had bread served before the meal, the chef's recommended lasagna that arrives rolled into a round shape, and a latte; the pairing of tomato ragu and creamy sauce stood out. Kongkase Seongsu is recommended for anyone who wants to taste the lasagna featured on the TV show Master of Living (생활의달인). ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 11 Wangsimni-ro 5-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (near Seoulsup) - **Ordered**: Chef's recommended lasagna, latte - **Bread**: Bread with balsamic and olive oil is served as soon as you sit down - **Time of visit**: Weekday lunch, walked in with no real wait - **Seating**: Outdoor terrace available *as written by the visitor on Nov 12, 2026 · not checked with the business* ![Main photo from the visit to Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-01-1smem-900.webp) If you want properly good pasta and lasagna in Seongsu, I'd point you to Kongkase Seongsu (콩카세 성수). ![Kongkase Seongsu, an Italian restaurant near Seoulsup](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-02-hdj2s-m-1200.webp) I went while looking for a good pasta place near Seoulsup, and apparently this is the place that was featured on the TV show Master of Living (생활의달인) as a lasagna master. ![Kongkase Seongsu, which specializes in lasagna and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-03-1faz4-900.webp) It's an Italian restaurant focused on lasagna and pasta, so my expectations were high ^^ I heard it's always full on weekends, but since I went on a weekday, I got in without much of a wait~! ## What does the bread at Kongkase Seongsu look like? ![Bread served when you sit down at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-04-1uclu-900.webp) As soon as we sat down at Kongkase Seongsu, bread was served first. It was nice to nibble on while waiting for the main dish, and it made for a happy start to the meal even before the food properly arrived. ![Warm bread at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-05-1nhsr-900.webp) ![Bread with balsamic olive oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-06-cw1q9-900.webp) The bread was warm and nutty, and dipping it in the balsamic olive oil really got my appetite going. ![Table with the dishes ordered at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-07-11g04-900.webp) ## What does the chef's recommended lasagna from the TV show taste like? What I ordered that day was the chef's recommended lasagna. ![Kongkase Seongsu's chef's recommended lasagna, featured on Master of Living](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-08-ki4ks-900.webp) Since it's the lasagna that was on Master of Living, I knew I had to order it on my first visit, haha. Honestly, I decided after seeing it at the next table. It looked so, so delicious from the first glance. Yum..! ♥️ ![A tempting plate of the chef's recommended lasagna](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-09-10xzg-900.webp) ### Lasagna that comes rolled into a round shape I've only ever had lasagna as wide pasta sheets stacked in layers, but the lasagna at Kongkase Seongsu comes out uniquely rolled up into a round shape. ![Kongkase lasagna served rolled into a round shape](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-10-pqu56-900.webp) Maybe because of that, the rich tomato ragu and meaty flavor seemed to come through even more between the layers of pasta? On the first bite, the pasta was soft yet still pleasantly chewy, and the more I chewed, the nuttier it got. The arugula was fresh too, hehehe. ### The white creamy sauce on top What stood out most was the white creamy sauce on top. It tasted like something in the ricotta or béchamel family, and it gently wrapped around the tangy, deeply savory tomato ragu~ ![Tomato ragu lasagna topped with creamy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-11-1ruzl-900.webp) It added a rich, nutty depth and felt like it balanced out the whole dish ^^ ![Lasagna with tomato ragu and creamy sauce together](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-12-1fdr5-900.webp) The acidity of the tomato sauce, the deep savoriness of the meat and the nuttiness of the creamy sauce all came together, so I never got tired of it until the last bite. If I had eaten my bread slowly, I think I would have dipped it in this sauce and scraped up every bit, hehehehe. ![A bite of the chef's recommended lasagna at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-13-1g628-900.webp) ![Master of Living lasagna with harmonious sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-14-13eud-900.webp) It keeps the characteristic flavor of lasagna while the sauce is especially harmonious, and the quality made me understand why it was on Master of Living. ![Meal table with lasagna at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-15-senb9-900.webp) ### The latte I ordered with the lasagna The latte I ordered alongside was also better than I expected, haha. ![Kongkase Seongsu latte ordered with the lasagna](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-16-y6cjb-900.webp) ![A cup of latte with a nutty aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-17-dnqw9-900.webp) It was my first coffee of the day, and the nutty aroma and smooth milk went well with the lasagna and the bread :) ## What's the atmosphere at Kongkase Seongsu? Is it good for dates or blind dates? Even though I visited on a weekday lunch, there was also a group of diners enjoying their meal. ![Interior of Kongkase Seongsu at weekday lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-18-9h852-900.webp) ![Dining hall of Kongkase Seongsu visited by couples and groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-19-115hs-900.webp) It felt a bit like a company dinner, and there were also couples on casual dates. The mood is comfortable yet stylish, so I think it would suit a date with your partner, and a blind date too ^^ ![Comfortable, stylish interior of Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-20-149o5-900.webp) Above all, the staff were really kind. They looked after us attentively, so I was comfortable throughout the meal, and it felt like that made me enjoy the food even more, haha. ![Cozy, café-like space at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-21-cskz3-m-900.webp) ![Around the outdoor terrace at Kongkase Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-22-1bq9e-900.webp) There was also an outdoor terrace, and overall the place feels cozy, like a snug café! ## Overall verdict on Kongkase Seongsu, a pasta restaurant near Seoulsup If you're looking for a good pasta restaurant near Seoulsup, I'd recommend Kongkase Seongsu. ![Exterior of Kongkase Seongsu, a pasta restaurant near Seoulsup](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-23-1ozuy-m-900.webp) From the deep flavor of the lasagna featured on Master of Living to the pleasant atmosphere and friendly service, I was satisfied with everything. It was the day I finally had really good Italian pasta in Seongsu in a while. ![Kongkase Seongsu, a place worth revisiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte-24-xds86-900.webp) Next time I want to go with my partner and try the other pasta dishes too~ If you want to enjoy good pasta in Seongsu, this is a place I'd recommend, and I'd happily go back to Kongkase :) ## Where it is - Kongkase Seongsu (콩카세 성수) - 11 Wangsimni-ro 5-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 왕십리로5길 11 1층 - 37.5472132, 127.0440547 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%BD%A9%EC%B9%B4%EC%84%B8%20%EC%84%B1%EC%88%98/@37.5472132,127.0440547,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@receipt-cup/seoul-forest-rolled-lasagna-latte/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
