Bar-seat lemon-seaweed vinegar on chilled prawn ramen: Menya Seoul
Menya Seoul Yongsan I'Park Mall Branch is a ramen restaurant on the 7th floor food court of Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. On a Friday evening, sitting at the bar seat next to the store, the writer had the chilled giant prawn ramen for ₩12,900 and the spicy broth dongpo pork set for ₩17,900, and drizzling the lemon-seaweed vinegar found only at the bar seat over the cold ramen made the tangy umami pop. Verdict: chilled ramen in summer, spicy broth in winter — you can't go wrong either way.
