A couple visited at 3pm and ordered the Chulng Chulng Chulng rubber duck omurice, spicy pollack roe pasta, and spicy seafood pasta, finishing all three plates thanks to their slightly different spicy flavors. A good pick for restaurants in Hongdae Seoul when you want pasta and brunch without breaking the bank. ## Good to know - **Chulng Chulng Chulng rubber duck omurice**: ₩16,900 - **Spicy pollack roe pasta**: ₩18,900 - **Spicy seafood pasta**: ₩17,900 - **Location**: 178-8 Yanghwa-ro, 2nd floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Waiting**: Catch Table kiosk available near the entrance - **Self-bar**: Self-serve water and pickles, phone charging available *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ## Omil Hongdae's location — how close is it to Hongik University Station? Omil is located on the Hongdae side that's easy to find from Hongik University Station. It's not far off the main Hongdae street, so it's a good spot to stop by for a meal after shopping or a date in Hongdae, haha. ![Exterior of Omil Hongdae near Hongik University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-01-oeiww-1200.webp) ![Entrance of the building where Omil Hongdae is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-02-vk9nc-900.webp) ![Omil sign seen from the Hongdae street](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-03-h7u28-900.webp) I went on a date with my husband in Hongdae after a while and ate something delicious :) The place we visited that day was Omil, where you can enjoy both pasta and omurice in Hongdae!!! When looking for places to eat around Hongdae, there are a lot of spots with great atmosphere but intimidating prices — but here the menu lineup is solid and the prices are relatively reasonable, so it should be a good reference if you're looking for a Hongdae pasta spot ❤️ ![Stairs leading up to the 2nd floor of Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-04-zigfk-900.webp) ## Customers kept coming even at 3pm — waitlist runs through Catch Table We visited around 3pm, well past the lunch peak, so I thought we'd be able to eat leisurely — but way more customers kept coming into the restaurant than I expected!?? Is this place a hot spot!! ![Entrance of Omil Hongdae at 3pm](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-05-1dxa2-900.webp) ![Entrance signage at Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-06-xg370-900.webp) There's also a Catch Table kiosk near the entrance, which looks super convenient for the waitlist. It seems handy that if you have plans in Hongdae or come for brunch and it's crowded, you can just use the Catch Table system, hahaha. ![Catch Table waitlist kiosk near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-07-1hqhn-900.webp) ![Waitlist reception area at Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-08-16u13-900.webp) ## The restaurant's atmosphere Walking inside, it was clean and comfortable overall — not too dark or overly formal like a fancy restaurant, but more like a place for a casual meal on a date in Hongdae, which I liked 💙 ![Clean and comfortable interior of Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-09-1cza9-900.webp) ![Table seating at Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-10-1djdj-900.webp) ![Interior design of Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-11-p4uf0-900.webp) ![Window-side seating atmosphere at Omil Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-12-m5csp-900.webp) ## The 3 dishes we ordered and their prices We ordered a total of 3 dishes. - Chulng Chulng Chulng rubber duck omurice ₩16,900 - Spicy pollack roe pasta ₩18,900 - Spicy seafood pasta ₩17,900 ![Table with three dishes ordered at Omil](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-13-1xpc6-900.webp) ![Plating of the Chulng Chulng Chulng rubber duck omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-14-1jsom-900.webp) ### Chulng Chulng Chulng rubber duck omurice The Chulng Chulng Chulng rubber duck omurice! Cute name, cute visuals too, so of course you have to take a photo, right? The omurice (omelette rice) has soft egg that blends beautifully with the sauce. So glad we ordered it,, Especially compared to just ordering the pasta dishes you commonly see in Hongdae, adding this cute omurice made the table so much more fun!! They said we could take the tube-shaped rubber duck next to it home after the meal, ㅜㅜ what a thoughtful touch,, gotta give it to my little one hahaha. ![Tube rubber duck served with the rubber duck omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-15-1yakz-900.webp) ![Omurice with soft egg blended into the sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-16-160ef-900.webp) ![Omurice cut and mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-17-xkh73-900.webp) ### Spicy pollack roe pasta The spicy pollack roe pasta was, exactly as the name says, spicy with the salty savoriness of pollack roe added, and it really grabbed our appetite. If you don't like pasta that feels too rich, it's good to have one spicy option like this on the menu! ![A plate of spicy pollack roe pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-18-nqu5x-900.webp) ![Close-up of spicy pasta topped with pollack roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-19-1kzq4-900.webp) ### Spicy seafood pasta We also ordered the spicy seafood pasta, and the combination of seafood and spicy sauce was tasty as expected. We ordered two kinds of pasta, and since the flavor directions were slightly different, alternating between them kept things interesting and we scraped both plates clean, hahaha. ![A plate of spicy seafood pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-20-1006h-900.webp) ![Scooping up spicy seafood pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-21-13tbj-900.webp) ## Omurice and pasta at once Personally, I felt that one of Omil's strengths is being able to eat omurice and pasta at once..! Good to visit on a day when just one dish feels like not enough, or when you want to share several dishes, right? ![Table with both omurice and pasta dishes together](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-22-1edpv-900.webp) It was so delicious that the two of us cleared all three dishes completely. ![Self-bar at Omil Hongdae with water and pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-23-10zz8-900.webp) ![Self-bar area with phone charging available](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch-24-1ab1t-900.webp) ## Self-bar and amenities Water and pickles are at the self-bar, and phone charging is available too :) From the cute rubber duck omurice to the spicy pollack roe pasta and spicy seafood pasta, Omil was fun for choosing between menu options and also good for a relaxed meal like brunch!! If you're looking for a budget-friendly place to eat on a date in Hongdae, make sure to add Omil to your list~~ And if you're specifically hunting for Hongdae brunch, keep in mind you can enjoy omurice and pasta together here! 💙❤️💙❤️ ## Where it is - Omil Hongdae (오밀 홍대) - 178-8 Yanghwa-ro, 2nd floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로 178-8 2층 - 37.5574612, 126.9254618 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%B0%80%20%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80/@37.5574612,126.9254618,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-powder-pavement/omeal-hongdae-spicy-pasta-duo-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
