On a weekday lunch visit, the writer had pine nut caprese salad, fresh truffle Korean beef white ragu pasta, and a rolled fresh-pasta beef ragu lasagna roll with a crisp exterior and moist noodle inside. With 2 hours of free parking and a high-ceilinged dining room, it's a fitting spot for an occasion. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3F LG Arts Center Seoul, 136 Magokjungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Getting there**: 1-minute walk from Exit 4 of Magongnaru Station, connected indoors - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 14:00 / 20:30 - **Parking**: 2 hours free with dining purchase - **Menu**: Fresh truffle Korean beef white ragu pasta ₩29,000 / Korean beef ragu fresh pasta lasagna roll ₩28,000 / Pine nut caprese salad ₩17,000 - **Amenities**: Naver reservations, baby chairs, group seating available - **Notable**: Listed in Blue Ribbon Survey 2025 *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* When picking a place to eat near Magok Naru Station, there are a few boxes to check: close to the station, comfortable seating, solid food, and parking. I found somewhere in Magok that checks them all at once — Romaok Magok, on the 3rd floor of LG Arts Center Seoul. ![Entrance to Romaok Magok on the 3rd floor of LG Arts Center Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-01-1ylf4-900.webp) This place made it onto the Blue Ribbon Survey 2025, and the kitchen is run by a chef who trained at Madonnina del Pescatore, a Michelin two-star restaurant in Italy. I'd been curious about an Italian menu built with Korean ingredients for a while, so I finally made it there for a weekday lunch. ![Vertical shot outside Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-02-1ox7o-900.webp) ![Horizontal shot of the Romaok Magok interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-03-7qdab-900.webp) ## Connected indoors straight from Magok Naru Station ![Indoor walkway connecting Magok Naru Station to the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-04-j04a4-m-900.webp) The accessibility is really great. It's a 1-minute walk from Exit 4 of Magok Naru Station, and since it connects indoors, you never have to step outside — just head up to the 3rd floor. It's also walkable from Magok or Balsan Station on Line 5. I went on a weekday for lunch, and by timing it just slightly off the office-worker rush, the place was nice and relaxed. ![Relaxed dining room at Romaok Magok during weekday lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-05-1h63c-900.webp) I was seated right away with no wait, and the tables were spaced generously enough that I couldn't hear the next table's conversation. ## A sense of space created by the ceiling height ![High-ceilinged interior with repeated arch shapes](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-06-1rscv-900.webp) The moment you walk in, the ceiling height catches your eye. The interior uses repeated arch shapes that naturally draw your gaze upward, giving the indoor space an open, airy feeling. During the day the lighting isn't harsh, so it has a brunch-like comfort, while the table settings and service flow are clearly on the fine-dining side. Not many restaurants in Magok have this kind of spatial presence, so I was in a good mood the moment I sat down. ![Restaurant table set with dinnerware](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-07-1byev-900.webp) ## Pine nut caprese salad ₩17,000 ![Pine nut caprese salad with pre-meal bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-08-wndw8-900.webp) I started with pre-meal bread and salad. It uses both jujube tomatoes and black tomatoes, topped with a fromage blanc made from ground pine nuts, white balsamic, arugula, and frill ice lettuce. ![Caprese salad topped with jujube tomatoes and black tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-09-1elme-900.webp) Mixing two kinds of tomatoes kept the sweetness and acidity from leaning too far either way. The balsamic didn't sit heavy like the thick black kind — it landed light and fresh. The pine nut fromage blanc was nutty rather than salty, and it did its job of gently opening up the palate before the richer, saucier dishes to come. ![Salad plate with pine nut fromage blanc](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-10-r7zrn-900.webp) ## Fresh truffle Korean beef white ragu pasta ₩29,000 This was the main event of the day. The moment the plate landed, truffle aroma rose up first — and not just from paste, sliced fresh truffle was generously piled over the noodles. Visually it looks like a rich cream pasta, but the first bite is completely different. Instead of creamy softness, the deep meaty flavor of long-simmered Korean beef comes straight at you. It's as rich as reduced ox bone broth, and sherry wine vinegar catches the acidity at the finish so it lands clean. ![Korean beef white ragu pasta topped with fresh truffle slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-11-13nbm-1200.webp) With salsiccia added to the beef ragu, two layers of meat flavor overlap, and the fresh truffle aroma carries through to the last bite. It was genuinely a cut above what you'd expect from a restaurant near Magok Naru Station — a distinctly upscale taste, completely different in texture from any pasta I usually eat. The spaghettini held its bounce all the way through without being weighed down by the sauce 🍝 ![Spaghettini twirled with truffle beef ragu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-12-1m49u-900.webp) ## Korean beef ragu fresh pasta lasagna roll ₩28,000 This one surprises you visually first. Instead of laying the lasagna sheet flat, it's rolled up and stood on end, with the edges looking lightly seared — slightly crisp. Cut it with a fork and the inside is pure moist fresh pasta. Getting that crisp exterior and soft interior in the same bite was a genuinely unusual texture. ![Rolled fresh pasta lasagna roll with Korean beef ragu, standing upright](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-13-1cvh4-900.webp) The Korean beef ragu filling is heavy and rich, and the tomato sauce and ricotta mousse underneath lift that weight into something lighter. Add balsamic reduction's tang and basil oil aroma on top, and even though it's a rich meat dish, it goes down pleasantly to the last bite. I understood why the Blue Ribbon mention was attached to this place in Magok 🥩 ![Cross-section of the lasagna roll over tomato sauce and ricotta mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll-14-fsyb1-900.webp) ## Parking, reservations, and amenities Let me cover the details that don't usually show up in reviews of restaurants near Magok Naru Station. - Parking is free for 2 hours with a dining purchase. The LG Arts Center parking lot is big and spacious, so it's easy to find a spot on weekday lunches. - Reservations are available through Naver Reservations. If you want a specific seat, like a window table or the lounge table, booking ahead means you'll be seated exactly there. - Ordering is done via the tablet at each table. Every menu item has a photo, so it's easy for first-timers to choose, and it kept conversation flowing without interruption. - Baby chairs are available and group seating is possible, so it works well for meals with kids or company dinners. ## A fitting spot for the right occasion The flow after the meal is also convenient. It works well as a spot to eat after a show at LG Arts Center in the same building, or as a walkable stop connected to Seoul Botanic Park. The person I went with said the whole time they wanted to come back with coworkers. That's how satisfying the lunch was. If you're looking for a restaurant near Magok Naru Station where both the space and the food are equally polished, this is it. It's especially well suited to occasions with a reason behind them — anniversaries, hosting guests, dates, meals before or after a show. Next time I'm thinking of going back for the steak ✨ 136 Magokjungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 3rd Floor LG Arts Center Seoul, Romaok ## Where it is - Romaok Magok (로마옥 마곡) - 136 Magokjungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 3F LG Arts Center Seoul - 서울특별시 강서구 마곡중앙로 136 LG아트센터서울 3층 로마옥 - 37.5648409, 126.8292275 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%A7%88%EC%98%A5%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1/@37.5648409,126.8292275,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-fork-turns/romaok-magok-hanwoo-ragu-lasagna-roll/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
