The signature beef cutlet ramen and tomato ramen could both be ordered with a bone broth, Indian curry, tom yum, or tantan base. It had a bit of a fusion feel to it, and felt like a Seongsu ramen spot worth visiting for something different. ![Ramen menu board at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-10-cy9mp-900.webp) Looking through reviews after my visit, I found out the tomato ramen is really the famous item at Menya Pomo Seongsu. Tomato ramen seems to be trending these days, and there were so many variations that I decided I'd have to try it next time. - Basic tomato ₩10,000 - Tomato mazesoba ₩12,000 - Real tomato ₩12,500 - Ham vegetable tomato ₩12,500 - Cheese tomato ₩12,500 - Chicken tomato ₩13,000 - Beef cutlet tomato ₩14,500 - Pomo corn tomato ₩12,000 - Tantan tomato ₩12,500 - Indian tomato ₩12,500 - Tom yum tomato ₩12,500 - Bone broth tomato ₩12,500 - Pork cutlet set ₩13,800 - Beef cutlet set ₩13,800 ## What the Tom Yum Beef Cutlet Ramen SET tastes like I ordered the (Tom Yum) Beef Cutlet Ramen SET, one of the signature menu items at this Seongsu ramen spot. For options I chose shin ramyeon spice level 1, added cilantro (free), cheese risotto rice, and a zero-sugar cola. (₩22,000 total) ![Table setting of the tom yum beef cutlet ramen set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-11-1p7zv-900.webp) Ordering the set meant a much more generous portion than a single item, and the ramen itself came in a pretty hearty amount too. ![A hearty portion of tom yum beef cutlet ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-12-1i3n1-900.webp) ![Tom yum-based ramen broth topped with cilantro](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-13-728db-900.webp) This was my first time tasting this kind of ramen — the tom yum broth had that distinctive sour-spicy flavor with a subtle hint of lemongrass-like spice, giving it an exotic taste quite different from typical ramen. On top sat a crisply fried beef cutlet, and its savory, clean meat flavor paired well with the tangy broth. ![Cross-section of the crispy fried beef cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-14-tqop3-900.webp) ![Cheese risotto rice included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-15-1wo3c-900.webp) ### Cheese risotto rice stirred into the tom yum broth Last, I mixed the cheese risotto rice included in the set into the leftover broth. The broth was spicy and sour, and the cheese risotto rice was packed with savory cheese flavor — together they created a really exotic combination. It kind of felt like eating something while traveling abroad. It was a fun, different experience. ![The table at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen/seongsu-menya-fomo-tomyum-hanwoo-katsu-ramen-16-e6fct-900.webp) ## Who should try solo ramen at Menya Pomo Seongsu?
