Hyehwa restaurant for non-creamy spicy pasta: Omil
Omil Hyehwa Daehangno is a Western-style restaurant in Jongno, Seoul, near Hyehwa Station. Its gochujang butter pasta was clean and pleasantly spicy rather than rich, while the rubber-duck omurice and complimentary soba maki were a treat for both the eyes and palate. Verdict: Save Omil Hyehwa Daehangno for a Hyehwa date when rich Western food feels like too much.
