Hongdae pasta restaurant with kids: 4 servings for ₩33,000, Pasta Go

Looking for a great-value pasta place in Hongdae? Come here!! 2 pastas, 1 pizza, 2 drinks, 1 fries, bread before the meal, and cream churros too! All for ₩33,000!!! I was honestly shocked.

When you go to a pasta place with a kid and everyone orders what they want, ₩50,000 is the baseline, and with sides and drinks it easily tops ₩60,000, right? But Pasta Go Hongdae Branch was different! The taste is a given, and with 25% off sets and 20% off à la carte items for both dine-in and takeout, the burden dropped a lot.

Pasta Go Hongdae Branch location and hours

Pasta Go Hongdae Branch is within walking distance of Hongik Univ. Station. It's right in the middle of Hongdae's busy streets, so it's perfect for a stop after shopping. And the Gyeongui Line Forest Park is great for a walk nearby!

The address is 12 Wausan-ro 33-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, 1st floor. It's 300 m from Exits 6 and 7 of the Airport Railway station, and about an 8-minute walk from Exit 8 of Line 2. For parking, use a nearby paid public car park!

Lots of people pass by even at weekday lunch, so there may be a wait. It opens at 10:00 and closes at 20:20, with last order at 19:40, so check the time if you're going late in the evening.

Pasta Go Hongdae Branch menu prices

As a proper Hongdae pasta spot, it has a really wide range: pasta, risotto and pizza.

How to order at Pasta Go

You can order by QR code or at the kiosk. Even for a single dish there are quite a few options to take care of, so look carefully!

First, they give free morning rolls (mini bread rolls) before the meal, so be sure to select "Morning rolls please (O)". You can also choose the spice level: Lv0 not spicy, Lv0.5 slightly spicy, Lv1 Shin Ramyun level, and Lv2 very spicy. If you want finer control, just write it in the request box.

If you join the review event, you can also get cream churros.

A good place to eat out with kids

I like spicy food, but my child can't handle it yet. So choosing the menu is always a dilemma :( I ordered the meatball pasta at spice Lv0, and when the staff heard a child would be eating it, they also asked separately about the amount of garlic and pepper. That thoughtfulness really impressed me!

Look at those hearty meatballs, right? There were 4 of them!

The rosé tteokbokki pasta (chewy rice cakes in pink cream sauce) has many spice levels, so I could enjoy the heat I wanted.

The chewiness of the tteokbokki together with the pasta noodles was a much better combination than I expected. The thick rosé sauce soaked in nicely and I finished the bowl in no time, haha.

I ordered pizza too. Coming to a pasta place and skipping pizza would be such a shame, right? My child really loves gorgonzola, so we had to order it!

It was a bit bigger than an adult's palm, cut into 4 slices. Dipped in honey, it was so tasty that my child ate the whole thing alone, haha.

A gorgonzola pizza for ₩1,500! That's really the charm of Pasta Go Hongdae Branch. They also have a sweet potato pizza on the menu, so I'm planning to try that next time.

Pasta Go Hongdae Branch atmosphere and drawbacks

The interior is bright and clean, so it's good for taking photos. The seating layout is comfortable even for dining alone, so it's fine for solo diners too.

Turnover is quick, so even at lunch and dinner peaks you can be seated relatively fast. The vibe suits a date or a quick bite while shopping in Hongdae.

However, the space isn't large, so if you're going as a group, call ahead! There's no parking lot, so you'd have to use a nearby paid public car park, but personally I recommend taking public transport and walking along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park.

If you're looking for a Hongdae pasta spot, one visit and you'll become a regular, haha. This quality at this price?! And you never know when the discount event ends, so I'd go soon!
