Honestly, it's surprisingly hard to find a place around Konkuk University that makes clean yet truly rich broth, isn't it? I was always torn on where to go, but this time I found a spot that hit my taste exactly right, so I went straight away. Word of mouth had already started spreading among nearby office workers and students calling it a Konkuk hidden gem, so I wanted to verify for myself just how genuine that flavor really was. It's set up so solo diners can relax without feeling self-conscious at all, which made me feel like I'd be coming back often. So let's dive into a frank, honest review — just like it was my own money spent! ## Where is Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch, and what are its hours? - Location: 394 Gwangnaru-ro, 1st floor, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul - Hours: Mon–Sun 11:00–23:00 (last order 22:30) ## What the entrance and interior of Mentsuru look like ![Entrance of Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch with a wood-toned lattice-frame exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-01-hswhh-966.webp) Arriving in front of the restaurant, the wood-toned lattice-frame exterior caught my eye from a distance, giving off a strong genuine Japanese vibe.

Best of all, they've set up plenty of solo bar-table seating, which I really appreciated — no need to worry about eating alone here. ## What's on the menu at Mentsuru ![Mentsuru menu board listing ramen and rice bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-06-patkk-966.webp) ![Mentsuru menu board listing mixed ramen and sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-07-1vrz4-966.webp) ![Mentsuru menu listed in a vertical layout](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-08-r7zg4-966.webp) Mentsuru's menu ranges from light broths to spicy ones, with a solid lineup of ramen to suit any taste, plus mixed ramen and rice bowls given extra umami with special sauces. - Broth ramen (shoyu, shio, spicy shoyu, tori paitan, motsu, etc.) — signature ramens with light or richly spicy broth to suit your taste 🍜 - Mixed ramen (mazesoba, abura soba) — a treat to toss with special oil and toppings, then finish by mixing rice into the leftover sauce 🥢 - Rice bowls (hormone-don, gyudon) — hearty bowls piled with beef short rib and large intestine stir-fried in special sauce 🍚 - Sides and drinks (karaage, gyoza, takoyaki, highball, etc.) — crispy fried sides and cold drinks that pair perfectly with the mains 🍻 ## What we ordered at Mentsuru and what it cost ![A table set with two bowls of ramen, takoyaki, and a coke](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-09-nj5fn-1200.webp) - Spicy shoyu ramen ₩11,000 (egg add-on ₩1,000) - Shoyu ramen ₩11,000 (egg add-on ₩1,000) - Takoyaki 5p ₩5,000 - Coke, Coca-Cola ₩2,000 each This is what we ordered 💁🏼‍♀️ ### How does the spicy shoyu ramen taste? ![A bowl of spicy shoyu ramen with an added egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-10-15414-966.webp) A light, clean clam-and-chicken based broth gets a spicy kick tailored to Korean tastes, resulting in a sharp yet refreshing flavor 🧄 It's not just aggressively spicy — there's a deep umami swirling through it that felt like it cleared out my system, making it a perfect hangover cure! The added egg had a moist, softly cooked yolk that made a perfect match when dipped lightly into the spicy broth, and the chewy noodles and crunchy toppings soaked up the spicy broth beautifully all the way to the end. ### How does the shoyu ramen taste? ![Shoyu ramen topped with chashu and menma](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-11-bxvae-966.webp) Thanks to the clear, transparent shoyu-based broth, it was clean and light without any off flavors from the first spoonful to the last! It's not an overly heavy style, so it was easy to enjoy even for those who usually find rich, oily Japanese ramen too much. The soft chashu (braised pork) and menma (fermented bamboo shoots) toppings were generously piled on, making it fun to eat alongside the noodles, and popping the added soft-boiled egg added a savory richness that paired perfectly with the salty umami of the shoyu broth ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹♡ ### Takoyaki, 5 pieces for 5,000 won ![Five pieces of takoyaki topped with bonito flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-12-1w8pi-966.webp) Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, one bite spreads a soft texture through your mouth. The sweet-savory sauce paired with the generous katsuobushi (bonito flakes) on top gave it that classic, satisfying flavor, with chewy chunks of octopus, making it a great light side when ramen alone feels like it's not quite enough. Five pieces made for an affordable, easy snack to pick at between bites of the main dish! ![A scene of eating ramen at Mentsuru](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-13-1jn13-966.webp) ![Noodles being lifted from a bowl of Mentsuru ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-14-1wjsv-966.webp) ![Close-up of Mentsuru ramen and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-15-jh3wt-966.webp) ![The Mentsuru table after the meal was finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-shoyu-ramen-egg-16-17yj4-966.webp) ## Is Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch worth a visit?
