# Rich tori paitan for a husband's cold recovery: Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong - By Ara (https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-kitchen-window/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Eunpyeong, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-kitchen-window/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-kitchen-window/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/index.md) ## In short Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is a chicken-broth paitan ramen restaurant right by Bulgwangcheon stream, steps from Saejeol Station in Eunpyeong, Seoul. On a weekend morning, 20 minutes after opening, the writer and her husband ordered tori paitan, tsukune chashu, and a soft-boiled egg, then finished with rice mixed into the broth — a bowl her husband, recovering from a bad cold, called stronger than the Hapjeong flagship's soup. It's the bowl they now reach for whenever he's run down. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00 AM–8:30 PM, no closed days - **Break time**: 2:30 PM–5:00 PM - **Last order**: 8:00 PM - **Ordering**: Kiosk at the entrance, card and cash accepted - **Menu**: Tori paitan, kara paitan (spicy version), tsukune chashu and soft-boiled egg add-ons - **Free refills**: Noodles, broth, rice, kimchi - **Cilantro**: Free to add - **Parking**: One or two spots in front of the restaurant - **Location**: Near Saejeol Station, across from the Bulgwangcheon walking path *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* This year my husband tried tori paitan, a chicken-broth white ramen, at Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong for the first time. It's been his favorite ramen ever since, and he's a certified ramen enthusiast. He says he thinks of Oreno Ramen on rainy days or whenever he's low on energy — for me it's Korean buffets, but for him this ramen seems to do the job. We've had it at the Hapjeong flagship too, but he says the Eunpyeong branch's soup tastes much richer to him. He'd just gotten over a bad cold for the first time in years, and this was the meal he chose to recover. ![Exterior of Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-01-cpy9g-966.webp) ![Vertical view of the Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-02-67jq3-966.webp) ## Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong hours and location Business info for this ramen favorite: open Mon–Sun 11 AM to 8:30 PM, no closed days. Break time is 2:30–5 PM. Last order is 8 PM. There's parking in front for one or two cars, so an early opening run doesn't come with parking stress. It's very close to Saejeol Station, and right beside Bulgwangcheon stream, making it a great spot to eat ramen and then walk along the water. ![Storefront entrance with business hours posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-03-1vbo7-966.webp) As soon as you walk in, you order first at the kiosk by the entrance. Both card and cash work. ![Order kiosk in front of the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-04-1lebi-966.webp) ## The menu: tori paitan vs. kara paitan, and how the tsukune differs from the flagship This ramen favorite keeps its menu simple: tori paitan, the chicken-broth white ramen, and kara paitan, its spicy version. I usually get kara paitan, but today I wanted the white soup, so we both ordered tori paitan. There are also tsukune chashu and soft-boiled egg add-ons. You can order tsukune chashu as a side at the Hapjeong flagship too, but the Eunpyeong branch's tsukune isn't drizzled with sauce on top, so it tastes cleaner. Both my husband and I prefer Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong's version. ![Menu board listing tori paitan and kara paitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-05-gh4et-966.webp) ## 20 minutes after opening on a weekend morning — how long is the wait? On a weekend morning, about 20 minutes after opening, the place was nearly full. Since the menu is compact and everyone eats with real focus, tables turn over fast, so even if you wait, it won't be long. ![Nearly full restaurant interior on a weekend morning](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-06-19vfr-966.webp) They also have aprons and hair ties ready for anyone with long hair. ![Aprons and hair ties provided at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-07-mli1e-966.webp) Noodles, broth, rice, and kimchi all come with free refills. The basic pickles: radish and chili. Cool green tea, lightly brewed — one full glass and my stomach felt ready to take on the ramen. ![Basic pickles and cool green tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-08-3yy7m-966.webp) ## Tori paitan, a bowl of rich chicken broth Ta-da! The ramen arrived — served really fast. Since cilantro is free to add, I asked for that too, and ordered kimchi on the side. As a Korean-food person, I love a ramen place that gives you kimchi. ![Tori paitan ramen served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-09-1dz00-966.webp) ![Ramen table setting with a side of kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-10-1az9y-966.webp) The tori paitan at this ramen favorite, famous for its rich chicken broth. People say there's no such thing as someone who tries it just once. ![Bowl of rich chicken-broth tori paitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-11-47hxm-1200.webp) Kelp, green onion, soft-boiled egg, tender chicken. ![Ramen topped with kelp, green onion, and soft-boiled egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-12-120qc-966.webp) The cilantro was in great shape too. The kimchi has that cool, crisp Seoul-style kimchi flavor. ![A plate of crisp Seoul-style kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-13-19xaa-966.webp) The chicken is incredibly tender. Even though it's ramen, Oreno Ramen still gives you a solid protein boost. The soft-boiled egg — I try not to be greedy and skip adding one, but I always end up ordering an extra later anyway. It's not too sweet, which suits me. And it's nice that you can add the egg later too. ![Soft-boiled egg cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-14-l9bx7-966.webp) ### Always add the tsukune chashu Tsukune chashu: minced chicken formed into a meatball shape and steamed. Savory with just the right seasoning — the kids ate it right up. ![Tsukune chashu made from minced chicken formed into meatballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-15-1wcnn-966.webp) ![Close-up of tsukune chashu on top of the ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-16-1hngi-966.webp) The tsukune chashu at this ramen favorite pulls apart easily with chopsticks. Definitely add it. ![Tsukune chashu pulling apart with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-17-19jyy-966.webp) My favorite part, the springy kelp. Slurped down together with the noodles, its crunch doubles the savory flavor. ![Ramen noodles lifted up together with kelp](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-18-qxank-966.webp) The noodle portion is generous enough that you don't even need to add extra. ![Generous portion of ramen noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-19-180b8-m-966.webp) ## With the kids, and when to add the cilantro When the kids eat well, it's so much easier for mom and dad to eat too. Being the weekend, there were a lot of tables with kids. Before I knew it, I'd already drunk this much of the broth. Time to add the cilantro. Eating it with cilantro and noodles is a whole different feel. To fully enjoy Oreno Ramen the proper way, though, it's better without the cilantro. ![Tori paitan broth topped with cilantro](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-20-1n9j3-m-966.webp) "Mom, more please." My favorite thing to hear, haha. ![Ramen bowl a child asked for more of](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-21-17kr8-966.webp) I asked for rice, and the broth was so good I had no choice but to mix it in. ![Rice ready to be mixed into the ramen broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-22-1kgfw-966.webp) Mixing in the rice makes it so much more filling too. My husband and I split a bowl and a half between us, done in no time! Proper recovery meal, right? ![Ramen bowl with rice mixed into the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-23-1fhd6-966.webp) ## A walk along Bulgwangcheon after the meal Right across from Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is the Bulgwangcheon walking path. A satisfying full stomach and a walk soaking up the sun. ![View of the Bulgwangcheon walking path across from the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan-24-23aso-966.webp) The ducks and a crane came out to catch some sun too. My husband, who had a rough few days — you had your recovery meal today, so please don't get sick again. Let's talk again whenever you're feeling low. We'll eat the ramen you love, and go soak up some sun :) ## Where it is - Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong (오레노라멘 은평점) - 366 Bulgwangcheon-gil, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 은평구 불광천길 366 - 37.5903473, 126.91437 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%A0%88%EB%85%B8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98%20%EC%9D%80%ED%8F%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5903473,126.91437,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-kitchen-window/oreno-ramen-eunpyeong-tori-paitan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
