Sharing plates with a friend, the visit covered tori paitan with the spicy option added, the summer-only cold tsukemen, and a side of handmade karaage. The milky chicken broth of the tori paitan and the tangy cold tsukemen played off each other well, making Mentsuru a filling one-bowl-plus-side meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: 26 Mareunnae-ro 2-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 (last order 21:00) - **Ordered**: Tori paitan (spicy option), cold tsukemen (summer-only), handmade karaage - **Note**: A review event was running at the time of the visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ![Ramen spread at Mentsuru Euljiro Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-01-1l0jd-m-900.webp) ![Ramen and side dish ordered at Mentsuru Euljiro Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-02-1qviq-1200.webp) Today I want to introduce Mentsuru Euljiro Branch, a place I visited with a friend while looking for somewhere to eat in Euljiro!

If you have time, everyone should give it a try~! ## Mentsuru tori paitan with the spicy option added: how is it? ![Milky-broth tori paitan ramen at Mentsuru](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-08-v8r0f-900.webp) First up, the tori paitan I ordered! The milky broth of tori paitan looked so appetizing right away haha. I added the spicy option and took a sip of the broth first — it was spicy with that deep, rich chicken broth flavor that went so well with the ramen! ![Noodles and broth of the spicy tori paitan option](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-09-10swy-900.webp) Eating the noodles together with the broth gave a nicely spicy taste, so my chopsticks kept going back for more broth lol. Personally, if you're getting ramen at Mentsuru, the tori paitan is one worth trying! (Huge recommend for tori paitan ramen!!!!) ## What does the summer-only cold tsukemen at Mentsuru taste like? ![Mentsuru's summer-only cold tsukemen](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-10-tbjba-900.webp) And then the summer-only item we ordered this time! Since it's only available during summer, I got curious the moment I saw it on the menu and ordered it. It felt totally different from the ramen I usually eat, so it was great to order it alongside the regular dish! ![Chewy noodles and big meat pieces in the cold tsukemen](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-11-1kqki-900.webp) ![Noodles dipped in the tangy cold tsukemen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-12-jr1dn-900.webp) The broth was slightly tangy and sour, the noodles were nice and chewy, and the meat pieces were big, so I just kept eating without stopping ㅠㅠㅠ I'll definitely have to eat this again next summer haha. ## Handmade karaage side at Mentsuru: big, generous pieces ![Plate of Mentsuru's handmade karaage side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-13-ddbnz-900.webp) And the karaage we ordered as a side! The moment it arrived, I was surprised at how much bigger the pieces were than expected lol. Each piece came out pretty large, so eating it alongside the ramen was more filling than I thought! Also, the outside was crispy and the inside was juicy — personally, the karaage was so delicious too ㅠㅠ. ![Big pieces of karaage served with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan-14-ecq88-900.webp) I ordered it because ramen alone felt like it wasn't enough, and I was glad I did haha. If you especially love big chunky karaage, I'd recommend ordering it as a side dish too! (The sauce is the key!!!♥️) ## Mentsuru Euljiro Branch: is this Euljiro ramen worth it? That day we shared everything from tori paitan to the summer-only menu to karaage haha. The ramen was delicious, and the karaage side dish was delicious too, so overall it was a really filling meal! The summer-only menu in particular was great to order alongside a regular dish whenever you want to try something different :) If you're looking for a place to eat ramen in Euljiro, or curious about a unique summer-only menu, I think Mentsuru Euljiro Branch is worth a visit! ## Where it is - Mentsuru Euljiro Branch (멘츠루 을지로점) - 26 Mareunnae-ro 2-gil, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 마른내로2길 26 1층 - 37.5634193, 126.9916547 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A9%98%EC%B8%A0%EB%A3%A8%20%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.5634193,126.9916547,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-busy-apron/menzuru-euljiro-cold-tsukemen-tori-paitan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
