Dining solo, the writer ordered Cajun shrimp rosé pasta for ₩17,000 and corn ribs for ₩6,000, both arriving together, with four hefty shrimp, bacon, and a portion size bigger than expected. At ₩6,000 for five pieces, the corn ribs are well worth ordering as a side. ## Good to know - **Cajun shrimp rosé pasta**: ₩17,000 - **Corn ribs**: ₩6,000 (5 pieces) - **Zero Coke**: ₩3,000 - **Address**: 42-24 Donggyo-ro 46-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–21:00 - **Seating**: Sofa seats available *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ## A pasta restaurant tucked into the Yeonnam-dong street: Hey Joji ![Main photo of Hey Joji, a Yeonnam-dong pasta restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-01-7a3xw-1200.webp) Today I'm bringing you a review of Hey Joji, a Yeonnam-dong pasta restaurant that's perfect for a date. Everyone dates around Yeonnam, right? So there are tons of Western restaurants there, but among them I found Hey Joji, which has a nice atmosphere and good value for money, so I went straight there. I'd been craving pasta so much lately for some reason!! ![Exterior of Hey Joji along the Yeonnam-dong street](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-02-1xjqa-900.webp) ![View of the Yeonnam-dong street near Hey Joji's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-03-pb3ln-900.webp) It's located right along the Yeonnam-dong street, so it's great for a date where you wander around and eat. I went solo and ate, browsed some little shops, and walked around to digest — the whole course was very satisfying. ![Hey Joji's interior with soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-04-13tj3-900.webp) ![Antique-atmosphere dining hall seating at Hey Joji](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-05-objpn-900.webp) ## Interior atmosphere and sofa seating The interior was slightly antique, and thanks to the soft lighting, it was a comfortable place to eat. There were already lots of couples there, and it looked like some women were having a get-together too. ![Sofa seating at Hey Joji](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-06-ktm8d-900.webp) There are sofa seats too, so if you come for a date, your girlfriend will love it. Comfortable seating matters, after all. Hehe. ![Hey Joji's basic table setting with yellow plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-07-1t1rx-900.webp) ![Yellow plate and cutlery set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-08-1ies4-900.webp) Isn't the basic table setting so pretty? The yellow plates were so cute I couldn't not take a photo. Extra points for me since I love yellow. ## Hey Joji's menu and what I ordered ![Hey Joji menu page showing pasta options](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-09-1hcub-900.webp) ![Hey Joji menu page showing steak and risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-10-bqy46-900.webp) ![Hey Joji side dish menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-11-1w5nm-900.webp) ![Hey Joji drink menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-12-1bob3-900.webp) The menu had pasta, steak, risotto, and other typical Western restaurant dishes. The prices weren't too burdensome, which I liked. - Cajun shrimp rosé pasta ₩17,000 - Corn ribs ₩6,000 - Zero Coke ₩3,000 All the pastas looked delicious so I agonized over it, but ended up going with the Cajun shrimp rosé pasta! ![Rosé pasta and corn ribs served together at once](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-13-1gf0g-900.webp) ![Cajun shrimp rosé pasta with side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-14-zpc1o-900.webp) My order arrives! Isn't the presentation so pretty? I loved that both dishes came out at the same time. Not one dish, then a long wait, then the other — coming out together means you can take photos and dig in right away. Hehe. ![Hey Joji's corn ribs topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-15-3upv9-900.webp) ![Corn ribs coated with seasoning powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-16-g007k-900.webp) ## Corn ribs at ₩6,000 — are five pieces enough? I'm not sure what kind of seasoning powder it was, but the corn ribs came coated in it with cheese on top. It passed the looks test right away! ![Corn ribs served in five pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-17-abxdf-900.webp) ![Close-up of a corn rib piece](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-18-1d87x-900.webp) There were five pieces in total. I was surprised by how much there was. For ₩6,000, this was very satisfying!! It's great as a side to eat alongside pasta, so if you visit Hey Joji, order the corn ribs too!! ![A corn rib piece held up by hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-19-zcedr-900.webp) ![Corn kernels coming off easily from the ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-20-myhvt-900.webp) The cheese brought out a savory flavor, and the powder had a slight kick that made it delicious. With corn ribs, it matters that the kernels come off easily, and Hey Joji's — this Yeonnam-dong pasta favorite — came off easily, making it easy to eat too. ![Corn ribs plate alongside the pasta dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-21-43qxh-900.webp) ![Full view of the Cajun shrimp rosé pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-22-16snj-900.webp) ## Cajun shrimp rosé pasta: noodle texture and the shrimp The Cajun shrimp rosé pasta! The portion was bigger than I expected. Western food usually feels like small portions, but this one looked hearty from the moment it arrived, haha. The noodle texture was exactly to my taste too. I dislike noodles that are too firm or too mushy, but how did they cook it just right... I want to learn how. ![Rosé pasta topped with hefty shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-23-wiv04-900.webp) ![Rosé pasta noodles with bacon and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib/yeonnam-cajun-shrimp-rose-pasta-corn-rib-24-exday-900.webp) The shrimp weren't the small cocktail kind but four really hefty shrimp, and with the bacon in there, the savory depth was insane. They say you're supposed to eat slowly when dieting, but I just devoured everything from the moment it arrived to the last bite — I was almost embarrassed with myself once I finished. Lol. Hey Joji, this Yeonnam-dong pasta favorite, was great — the prices weren't burdensome and there was a lot to see nearby. I should come back with a boyfriend someday if I get one. Lolololol, because I've gotten curious about trying the other menu items too.
