Korean restaurant in Yangcheon, Seoul: cheese donkatsu and udon

How close is it to Sinjeongnegeori Station, and how late is it open?

I visited Haengbokhan Udon Gage Sinjeongnegeori Station Branch (행복한우동가게 신정네거리역점) for udon and donkatsu. It is about a one-minute walk from Sinjeongnegeori Station, at 257 Jungang-ro, 1F, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 양천구 중앙로 257 1층).

The red and yellow sign was easy to spot from outside, so the restaurant was easy to find. According to the original post, its hours are from 10:40 AM until 3:00 AM the following day.

I could see the menu and prices from outside. Along with udon and donkatsu, they also sold dishes to have with drinks.

What were the seating and wait like?

The restaurant was relatively spacious, but there was a wait when I visited.

There were about 10 tables for four people. The interior had a slightly retro feel.

The restaurant also displayed country-of-origin information.

What was on the menu, and how much were the dishes I ordered?

The menu ranged from udon and donkatsu to rice bowls and dishes for drinks. In addition to noodle dishes such as gochu udon (spicy pepper udon), bibim udon (mixed udon), and momil soba (buckwheat noodles), there were old-style donkatsu and cheese donkatsu. Rice dishes included jeyuk deopbap (spicy pork rice bowl), ojingeo deopbap (squid rice bowl), and whole-shrimp deopbap (shrimp rice bowl).

I ordered through the kiosk at the table. We chose the following three dishes. These prices are those listed in the original post at the time of the visit.

• Cheese donkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) — ₩11,900
• Deulgireum momil (buckwheat noodles with perilla oil) — ₩8,500
• Eomuk udon (fish cake udon) — ₩9,000

How did the cheese donkatsu and three noodle dishes taste?

Once all the dishes arrived, we tried them together. The combination included donkatsu, nutty momil, and warm udon.

How were the portion and texture of the cheese donkatsu?

The cheese donkatsu came with rice, so the portion felt generous. When I cut into it, there was a thick layer of cheese between the meat.

The cheese stretched, and the outside was crisp. The meat and cheese tasted good together, and dipping it in the sauce added a sweet-salty flavor that worked well.

What did the deulgireum momil taste like?

The deulgireum momil was generously topped with shredded seaweed, sesame seeds, and vegetables. After mixing everything well, the distinctive nutty aroma of perilla oil went nicely with the noodles.

How was the eomuk udon with the donkatsu?

The eomuk udon was more substantial than I expected, with large fish cakes, round fish cakes, and yubu (fried tofu pouch).

The broth was warm and clean-tasting, making it good to eat with the donkatsu. The yubu soaked with broth was especially tasty. Since each dish was around ₩10,000, it felt like a solid, filling meal.

Were there any events or waiting amenities at the time of my visit?

A review event was underway when I visited. The original post did not include specific details about the conditions for participation or the benefits.

There was also a fan for guests who were waiting.
