Weekday 2pm no-wait ramen and parking tips at Mentsuru, Gwangjin
Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch is a ramen restaurant in Gwangjin, Seoul, a one-minute walk from Exit 4 of Children's Grand Park Station. Visiting on a weekday at 2pm with no wait, the writer compared spicy shoyu ramen against tori paitan and tried the handmade karaage, plus checked parking at the public lot across the street since the restaurant itself has none. If you like a spicy, clean broth go for the spicy shoyu ramen; if you want something rich and heavy, tori paitan is the better pick.
