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. ## Good to know - **Location**: 35 Daemyeong-gil, 2F, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: 11:30–21:15 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Weekday break time**: 15:15–16:30 - **Ordering requirement**: One main dish per person required - **Reservations**: Available via Naver Reservation - **Amenities**: High chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![Hero image of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-01-1mm6s-1200.webp) ## A cute Western-style restaurant near Hyehwa Station I went to Hyehwa for a date and found such, such, SUCH a delicious Western-style restaurant,,,, With pasta, omurice, and other easygoing dishes, it is a great place to enjoy a meal without feeling weighed down—and it is so close to Hyehwa Station too..... ![Omil Hyehwa Daehangno near Hyehwa Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-02-1vq0b-966.webp) ![Omil, a Western-style restaurant near Hyehwa Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-03-k4241-966.webp) It is a two-minute walk from Exit 4 of Hyehwa Station—just go straight and you are there.

They also have set menus, so you can enjoy the food at a good value. We chose: - Gochujang butter pasta - Rubber-duck omurice - Zero Coke - Orange juice They also have an event where you receive an ade drink for writing a Naver review, so I recommend joining in! ![Self-service bar with paper cups and water](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-15-51ig7-966.webp) The self-service bar is very neatly stocked with paper cups, tissues, water, and more. And just take as many pickles as you will eat~ ![Self-service bar with pickles and a notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-16-n7flc-966.webp) The character on the notice is so, so cute ㅠㅠ There is also a QR code for Wi-Fi at the self-service bar, so connecting is easy. ![Orange juice and Zero Coke](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-17-n4gik-966.webp) The orange juice and Zero Coke came out first~! They were nicely chilled with ice floating in them, perfect for quenching our thirst in the hot weather. ![Rubber-duck omurice with drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-18-up750-966.webp) ![Rubber-duck omurice dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-19-vjmdb-966.webp) ## Rubber-duck omurice and gochujang butter pasta ### Rubber-duck omurice Oh my gosh,,,, is this not the cutest? That duck (?) made with sesame seeds and corn is so adorable, and it comes with a rubber duck—and it is a free gift!!!! You can take it home. A cute rubber duck for free, omg ㅜㅜㅜ I tucked mine straight into my bag... hehe ![Omurice served with a complimentary rubber duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-20-1hxs8-966.webp) ### Gochujang butter pasta that is not too rich This, this is the star. It is clean and spicy without any rich heaviness, so it feels like a Korean-Western fusion moment. As a born-and-raised Korean, I cannot really handle rich food,,, I am not good with cream pasta and things like that, but this is seriously delicious. I think I could eat two plates by myself. Just stir the gochujang butter on top through the pasta and eat! The meat is sous-vide pork neck, and wow—it is so tender, it practically melts in your mouth! ![Gochujang butter pasta with sous-vide pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-21-1dbiy-966.webp) ### Complimentary soba maki The soba maki they gave us as a service! It combines buckwheat soba noodles, vegetables, and Japanese-style rolled egg. The sweet flavor and crisp vegetable texture worked beautifully together. The little egg face stamp was so cute too ㅠㅅㅠ ![Complimentary soba maki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil/hyehwa-gochujang-butter-pasta-omil-22-lwozz-966.webp) ## A Hyehwa date for both the eyes and the palate Omil Hyehwa Daehangno is not simply a place where the food tastes good—that is not where it ends!
