On a scorching summer day the writer ordered tori paitan at 13,000 won and karai paitan at 13,000 won and swapped half of each bowl, then added tsukune chashu at 3,000 won and a soft-boiled egg at 1,000 won. Of all the Oreno Ramen branches visited, the Eunpyeong one has the widest, coolest hall, so ramen still goes down easily in midsummer. ## Good to know - **Location**: 366 Bulgwangcheon-gil, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul — 5–10 minute walk from Saejeol Station - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–20:00 - **Break time**: 14:30–17:00 - **Parking**: Free (ask the restaurant for the exact spot) - **Tori paitan**: 13,000 won (mild) - **Karai paitan**: 13,000 won (spicy) - **Tsukune chashu**: 3,000 won - **Soft-boiled egg**: 1,000 won - **Free refills**: Noodles, broth, rice, kimchi - **Ordering**: Kiosk at the entrance - **Seating**: Wide table seats and a bar counter (fine for solo diners) - **Provided**: Disposable aprons, hair ties on every table *as written by the visitor on Aug 13, 2026* Today I'm introducing a real ramen restaurant I visit no matter the season — Oreno Ramen! It's the place I always crave when I have no appetite. I've already revisited so many times that I want to explain in detail below why it's my go-to spot haha. ## Where is Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong, and is there parking? [Location / parking convenience] ★★★★ Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is about a 5–10 minute walk from Saejeol Station! They say free parking is also available. I took public transport, so please ask the restaurant for the exact parking location! ## Why the Eunpyeong branch is the widest and coolest Oreno Ramen [Cleanliness and atmosphere] ★★★★★ As someone who really loves Oreno Ramen, I've been to quite a few branches, and the Eunpyeong location was by far the most comfortable and spacious. Other locations felt a bit cramped and, I don't know, kind of thick/heavy, but this one was super cool and airy! The seats are wide too, so it seems fine even if you visit with a group~ ## Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong hours and break time - Mon–Sun: 11:00 – 20:00 - Break time: 14:30 – 17:00 There's a break time, so please check before you visit! ## Walking along Bulgwangcheon stream to the restaurant ![Exterior of Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong next to Bulgwangcheon stream](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-01-7woyg-900.webp) Walking out of Saejeol Station and cutting across along the stream, Oreno Ramen comes right into view! It looks cool and pleasant even from the outside, big time. ![Entrance of Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong on a hot day](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-02-oaplj-900.webp) It was so, so hot that day, so I was really glad to see the shop right in front of me,,, it was truly a scorching day, and the moment I stepped inside it was so refreshingly cool,,, ![Disposable aprons and hair ties provided in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-03-1lph0-900.webp) There are disposable aprons too (I really don't like the reusable kind..but..) and hair ties right next to them, which touched me with how thoughtful the owner is .. big thumbs up. ![Spacious, comfortable interior of Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-04-6g4tu-900.webp) The Insa-dong branch of Oreno Ramen that I usually go to is really small, so I always remember eating there feeling cramped, but the Saejeol Station branch is very spacious and comfortable haha. If you sweat a lot like me, go go go to the Saejeol branch in summer. ![Bar counter seating good for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-05-1qwz1-900.webp) ### Bar counter seats for solo ramen in Eunpyeong Since there's bar counter seating too, I'd recommend it for eating alone haha. It's something I think every time I visit a ramen shop, but men really seem to love ramen,, everyone eating solo was a guy,, it's officially climbed into second place after pork cutlet and jeyuk bokkeum lol. ![Seating and table layout at Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-06-tste6-m-900.webp) ![View of the seating area inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-07-1fcel-900.webp) ![Hair ties placed on a table](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-08-oenky-900.webp) Every table has hair ties set out like this too ![Sign about free refills on noodles, broth, rice, and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-09-1gfct-900.webp) ## Free refills of noodles, broth, rice and kimchi One of the biggest things Oreno Ramen has to brag about !!! Noodles, broth, rice, and kimchi are ALL free refills !!! Sorry not sorry to the big eaters out there ~~~ ![A cold glass of tea with ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-10-1xkme-900.webp) Second thing to brag about.. the water is super cold and refreshing, and instead of plain water they serve tea, which totally cuts through the greasy taste! Iced tea, seriously.. that's some next-level thoughtfulness .. ![Order kiosk at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-11-ux2f8-900.webp) As soon as you walk in, you'll see a kiosk machine right away. Just use that to order easily. ![Kiosk menu and price screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-12-1capk-900.webp) ## What we ordered: tori paitan and karai paitan at 13,000 won each What I ordered was > Tori Paitan 13,000 / Karai Paitan 13,000 / Tsukune Chashu 3,000 / Soft-boiled egg 1,000 Just think of it as: karai is the spicy one, tori is the mild one. haha. ![Table setting with bowls of tori paitan and karai paitan](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-13-1ok16-m-900.webp) Hehe, every time we come we order like this and split them in half to swap dishes lol. Our own personal half-and-half menu.. haha. ![Tori paitan topped with tsukune chashu](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-14-1qv98-1200.webp) ### Tsukune chashu at Oreno Ramen Eunpyeong is ground chicken We added chashu to the tori paitan, and the chashu at the Eunpyeong branch was different from the regular chashu we had in mind! It's like ground chicken formed together..? Never seen this before, so I ate it with high expectations, and sure enough, Oreno didn't disappoint.. is there anything this place can't do... ![Spicy karai paitan broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-15-1dzvo-900.webp) Paitan !! It was slightly spicy but not too much, so even a spice wimp like me could eat it comfortably haha. ![Three thick pieces of tsukune chashu skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-16-1sbx3-900.webp) Here's a closer look at the chashu visuals ~~ three thick skewer pieces, gone in a flash ![Ramen bowl emptied down to the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall/orenoramen-eunpyeong-summer-spacious-hall-17-1xsci-900.webp) Bowl completely emptied.... so delicious.. no need to even mention winter, but it's a ramen shop you can enjoy refreshingly even in summer.
