Three of us shared shoyu ramen (11,000 won), motsu ramen (15,000 won) and gyudon (11,000 won), and the yuzu pickled radish served with the basic table setting went especially well with the ramen.

Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch is at 394 Gwangnaru-ro, 1st floor, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. The store has no parking facility of its own, so if you're driving, it's convenient to use the paid Gwangjin Plaza public parking lot right across the street. 🚗 Parking tip If you're visiting by car, I'd recommend using the nearby Gwangjin Plaza public parking lot rather than looking for parking right in front of the store! The rates were low, so we could park without any stress and enjoy the meal comfortably. ![Basic table setting at Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-yuzu-pickle-lunch/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-yuzu-pickle-lunch-05-13tvv-900.webp) ![Yuzu radish pickle served alongside ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-yuzu-pickle-lunch/menzuru-childrens-grand-park-yuzu-pickle-lunch-06-1ha1v-900.webp) ## The yuzu pickled radish that comes with the table setting The basic table setting at Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch includes yuzu radish pickle.
