Yongsan ramen restaurant with melting dongpo pork: Menya Seoul

Menya Seoul on the 7th Floor of Yongsan I'Park Mall: Location and Ordering

📍 Location ▪️7th floor, Yongsan I'Park Mall ⏰ Hours ▪️Daily 11:00–21:00 ✔️ Last order 21:50 Visit date: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 I came to Yongsan CGV for a movie preview and ate at Menya Seoul, a ramen spot at I'Park Mall.

Menya Seoul is on the 7th floor of Yongsan I'Park Mall. It is near the escalator, so it is not hard to find.

The space opposite the restaurant.

Next to the ordering counter, there is an illustrated menu board and food models, so they are helpful when ordering.

Ordering by number makes it even easier. A system where you can order by number—so convenient, I think. With a set, you can choose one of three sides (crispy gyoza, karaage, or sweet soy-sauce chicken rice bowl) and one of five drinks (Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Pororo drink, or sparkling water).

For ramen, you can choose between dongpo pork and jambon, then choose an individual dish or a set. There are three broth options: mild, spicy, and mala. Whatever suits your taste~ haha

There is a large dining area right beside it like this. We grabbed a table before ordering. Since it was early on a weekday, there were seats, but around mealtimes there are barely any here. So scary! This is a place where claiming a seat is important!

Ordered, got our pager, and waited! Hehe

Dongpo Pork Chashu Ramen Set

What Comes with the Dongpo Pork Chashu Ramen Set

Dongpo pork chashu ramen set

The dongpo pork chashu ramen set arrived. It came with ramen, the crispy gyoza we chose as the side, and Sprite for the drink. Danmuji (pickled yellow radish) came as a side dish too.

Menya Seoul's signature dish is the dongpo pork chashu ramen. It has dongpo pork chashu, freshly minced garlic, egg, wakame seaweed, scallions, and more.

It was my first time having ramen with dongpo pork in it. I was very curious about that dongpo pork chashu, haha, so I tried it first. As I chewed the meat, it melted in my mouth. The meat was really tender. Menya Seoul says it is ramen where the chashu shines, and I think that is true, haha. This dongpo pork chashu is really distinctive. The chashu shone!

The noodles are on the thin side. They were not chewy-firm noodles; they came softly cooked. Maybe because of the wakame, the ramen broth had a sea scent. As someone who likes seafood, it was just right for me, haha.

Crispy Gyoza Set Side

Crispy gyoza. The set came with three dumplings.

The gyoza were fairly crisp outside, with meat and vegetables inside. Not japchae dumplings~

How the Whole Pork Belly Mazesoba Tasted

Whole Pork Belly Mazesoba

Whole pork belly mazesoba

We ordered one set and one individual dish: the whole pork belly mazesoba. Neither of us was very hungry, so we ordered this combination~ The mazesoba had one long piece of whole pork belly.

It had bonito flakes, seaweed, chopped scallions, egg yolk, and seasoning.

I mixed it thoroughly with the secret seasoning and tried it.

The pork belly was tender enough to cut easily with chopsticks. I cut it into bite-size pieces and ate it with the noodles.

I also ate the noodles on their own without the meat... haha. Maybe because of the seaweed and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), the mazesoba also had lots of sea scent. I often have mazesoba with fresh garlic, but this one does not have it, so it lacks that sharp garlicky heat and is a flavor that even people who cannot eat spicy food can enjoy. The special sauce had a slight sweetness and was not intensely spicy, so it was just easy to eat.

This was the paper laid on the table. It says the ajitama (seasoned soft-boiled egg) is aged for 48 hours, the ramen broth uses 25 ingredients, and the dongpo pork is made with five-layer pork belly and weighs 100 g. A lot of care goes into this food! There are really lots of great places to eat at Yongsan I'Park Mall, but not many ramen shops. When you are craving ramen, head to Menya Seoul on the 7th floor of I'Park Mall!
