## In short

Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch is a Japanese home-style rice bowl restaurant on Neungdong-ro near Konkuk University Station in Gwangjin, Seoul. Dining alone, the writer ordered the salmon rice bowl set (18,900 won) and added mini okonomiyaki, 2 pieces (3,000 won), and fried chicken, 5 pieces (4,900 won), a generous spread that came with thick salmon, udon, and rice cake for dessert. With plenty of solo seats and window seats, Hekbap works just as well for a meal alone as it does for friends or a date.

It's close to Konkuk Station, so it's easy to get to by public transit if you're looking for a good meal near the station. 💗 It's in a university commercial area with lots of students and office workers passing through, so it's great whether you're after a budget-friendly Konkuk restaurant, a Konkuk favorite, or a good spot for solo dining. The interior was pretty spacious and had solo seats well set up, so I'd definitely recommend it for eating alone!

## Inside Hekbap: atmosphere and solo seats at Konkuk Station

Going up to the 2nd floor at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch, the interior is much bigger than it looks from outside, with a wood-tone interior, full-length windows, and bright chandelier lighting for a warm, pleasant atmosphere. It's near the Lotte Department Store, so it's great for shopping after your meal, and also good for a stroll along the Konkuk walking paths. There are plenty of seats facing the windows so solo diners can enjoy their meal naturally — great for solo dining! 👍🏻

The tables have plenty of space between them, and with 2-person, 4-person, and group seating available, couples, friends, and families were all eating comfortably. A great spot for a low-pressure gathering with friends near Konkuk!

## What comes with the salmon rice bowl set at 18,900 won?

Salmon rice bowl set (₩18,900)

The salmon rice bowl comes with udon, fried chicken, and dessert rice cake, so it's really generous >< 🧡

![Salmon rice bowl topped with egg yolk and onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki-14-jeai9-966.webp)

Remember this: Hekbap is a salmon spot! The salmon is piled on really thick and it's so delicious... glossy, fresh, and soft — genuinely amazing! 😉👍🏻

Break the egg yolk, mix it lightly into the rice, dip a thick piece of salmon in, then top it with onion and eat — it gets so much nuttier and the umami goes off the charts,,✨

The udon was chewy and delicious. The noodles have great bite, and taking a sip of the udon broth between bites of the salmon bowl is such a great combo. Good stuff 👍🏻

## Sides worth adding: mini okonomiyaki and fried chicken

You can't skip okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake) at a Japanese home-style diner, so I added the mini okonomiyaki 2pcs (₩3,000) and fried chicken 5pcs (₩4,900).

![Mini okonomiyaki 2pcs topped with sauce and bonito flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki-19-g1lys-966.webp)

It comes piled high with sauce and bonito flakes.

![Fried chicken 5pcs served with dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki-20-vewvi-966.webp)

![Crispy-outside, juicy-inside fried chicken dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki-21-16bi5-966.webp)

The fried chicken wasn't greasy at all — crispy outside, juicy inside! The sauce that came with it was especially delicious. Make sure to dip generously!

![Dessert mini rice cake glazed with cheese and honey](https://img.superchart.com/images/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki/hekbap-konkuk-salmon-donburi-okonomiyaki-22-1vuyq-966.webp)

The set also includes a delicious mini rice cake with cheese and honey glaze. The cheese is savory and the honey is sweet 💟 — the food quality at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch was really high.
