Stopping in alone after work, the writer ordered gyukatsu for 19,500 won, yakisoba Napolitan for 12,000 won and a 420ml Kirin draft beer for 8,000 won, and cleared both plates among several other solo diners at the restaurant's many tables. The lesson from Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch: melt the butter generously, or the gyukatsu burns. ## Good to know - **Gyukatsu**: 19,500 won - **Yakisoba Napolitan**: 12,000 won - **Kirin draft beer, 420ml**: 8,000 won - **Location**: Basement 1F, 98 Huam-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul (Seoul Station Exit 11) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Review perk**: Join the Naver receipt review or add the shop to favorites for fried shrimp, thin-sliced mochi, or grill-it-yourself cheese - **Price reference**: ₩19,500 ≈ $14.5 · ₩12,000 ≈ $8.9 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* A Seoul Station spot that's great for eating solo: Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch ![Full spread of gyukatsu at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-01-hzd00-1200.webp) Today I'm bringing you a review of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch, a great spot near Seoul Station for solo dining. I've been eating pretty poorly since switching jobs recently, and this particular day was so rough I decided I needed a proper dinner. While looking around, I thought of Ichigyu — solo-friendly and delicious — and headed straight there. ![Building near Seoul Station Exit 11 housing Ichigyu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-02-1awxf-900.webp) ![Exterior of the building where Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-03-15q5b-900.webp) ## Where is Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch? Come out of Seoul Station Exit 11, cross a couple of crosswalks, and you'll find it — head down to the basement of the building in the photo. The address is Basement 1F, 98 Huam-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul. ![Stairway down to the building's basement level](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-04-184ya-900.webp) ![Entrance to Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch in the basement](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-05-w351k-900.webp) Head down to the basement and — found it! Ichigyu, a great Seoul Station spot for solo dining. ![Interior of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-06-3ijsy-900.webp) ![Dining hall with many tables at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-07-1njo4-900.webp) ## Is Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch comfortable for eating alone? Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch has tons of tables, so I didn't feel self-conscious sitting alone. A good solo-dining restaurant needs plenty of seats so you don't feel out of place, and this place had that in spades. ![Seating well-suited for solo diners at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-08-3b414-900.webp) At some restaurants, staff get a little flustered or show a hint of displeasure when you say it's just you — but there was none of that here, so I could eat comfortably. There were also a lot of other solo diners when I visited. Which means it's already well known as a great Seoul Station spot for solo dining. Mmhmm. ## Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch menu and what one solo diner ordered ![Menu board listing gyukatsu and steak at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-09-1k125-900.webp) *Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch menu* The menu centers on two mains — gyukatsu and steak — plus other items, so it's good for ordering a few things to share. - Gyukatsu ₩19,500 - Yakisoba Napolitan ₩12,000 - Kirin draft beer 420ml ₩8,000 I wanted to eat something good that day, so I just went ahead and ordered two dishes. Hahahaha. ![Table set after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-10-dcaz6-900.webp) ![Table with a receipt review perk notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-11-17a28-900.webp) If you do a Naver receipt review or add it as a favorite, you can get fried shrimp, thin-sliced mochi, and grilled cheese — make sure to participate and grab it all!! ![A glass of 420ml Kirin draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-12-145co-900.webp) ![Draft beer enjoyed after work at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-13-1c77d-900.webp) Beer after work is happiness itself. In this moment, I don't envy billionaires. Beer after clocking out? Aaah~~~~ Once you know this taste, you feel like you're truly becoming an adult... haha. ![The gyukatsu spread served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-14-37xdx-900.webp) ## Gyukatsu portion size and how to melt the butter without burning it The gyukatsu at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is ₩19,500, and I was surprised by how generous the portion was. It's a good amount if you want to eat without overdoing it. Of course, that's just my standard — most other people will be plenty full!!! (Keep in mind I'm the type who orders two dishes and finishes both.) ![Gyukatsu served with a tabletop grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-15-1ds0n-900.webp) ![Butter served alongside the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-16-90lbw-900.webp) For the gyukatsu, you melt the butter they give you first, then cook the cutlet on it. I'd ordered two dishes, so worried about gaining weight from the butter, I only melted a little — that was a mistake. ![Gyukatsu cooking on melted butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-17-80m3h-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu slightly burnt from too little butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-18-1nbcs-900.webp) Because if you don't melt enough butter, the gyukatsu burns easily. Ugh. The butter smells so good that it's totally fine to melt it all. I even thought about ordering extra butter while eating. ![A piece of gyukatsu topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-19-cc48h-900.webp) If the butter makes it feel a little rich, put some wasabi on top and dip it in the sauce — the gyukatsu turns wonderfully soft and moist! And the butter aroma rises up on top of that, so you just end up eating without thinking. ![Close-up of gyukatsu dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-20-1kdis-900.webp) ![Ketchup-based yakisoba Napolitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-21-okh0p-900.webp) ## What does the yakisoba Napolitan at Ichigyu taste like? The yakisoba Napolitan at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is ₩12,000, a ketchup-based dish with a nostalgic, generous style — it reminded me of ketchup tteokbokki, and I loved it. Yakisoba noodles already have great savoriness, and combined with a ketchup base? There's no way this isn't delicious. ![Yakisoba Napolitan topped with a soft-boiled egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-22-y6yef-900.webp) ![Yakisoba noodles with bacon and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-23-mffk7-900.webp) I'd actually been craving ketchup tteokbokki for a few days, and this yakisoba Napolitan filled that craving perfectly!! There's a soft-boiled egg on top too, plus bacon, sausage, and all kinds of vegetables piled in, so it makes for a hearty single meal. ![Table with both bowls finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner/seoul-station-solo-gyukatsu-yakisoba-dinner-24-1fy2p-900.webp) ## An after-work dinner of two full plates at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch Honestly, I thought I wouldn't be able to finish both dishes, but I must have been really exhausted and hungry that day, because I cleaned both plates completely. I got to eat a proper dinner at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch, a great Seoul Station spot for solo dining, and headed home in a good mood haha. I'd visited Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch before too, and it was delicious then as well — this visit gave me another happy memory, so it's become my go-to spot for when I'm feeling down.
