I paired the tantan tomato ramen set with basil rice and karaage, then turned the leftover broth into a risotto with rice from the self-service bar. Verdict: a fun, filling pick for a solo meal or casual date. I wanted to try ramen that was a little different in Seongsu, so I visited Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch (멘야포모 성수점). I have had plenty of tonkotsu and shoyu ramen before, but this was my first tomato ramen specialist, so I was already excited 🍅 ## Outside Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch ![Exterior of Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-01-rqh58-900.webp) To give you the conclusion first: the sweet-tangy tomato flavor and rich ramen broth were such a good combination. If you are looking for ramen that is not so common in Seongsu, this is a spot worth adding to a Seongsu-dong ramen tour 🍅 ![Tomato ramen menu at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-02-ksmwr-1200.webp) All the popular Seongsu spots are gathered nearby, so it is also in a great location to pop into midway through a date. ## An interior great for solo diners and pairs ![Interior seating at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-03-194nj-900.webp) ![Interior space at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-04-1b4xf-900.webp) There were individual seats with partitions, so solo diners could eat without feeling awkward. I eat alone often, so I absolutely love places like this. You can eat comfortably without worrying about the person beside you, so I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good solo dining spot in Seongsu!! ![Individual seat with partitions](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-05-sjcgq-900.webp) ![Partitioned seats for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-06-13m5z-900.webp) On the other side, the atmosphere was also nice for not only eating alone, but for two people stopping by for a simple meal 👩❤️💋👨 ## Making risotto with the leftover tomato broth ![Self-service bar with rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-07-dp4ns-900.webp) Rice and side dishes are available at the self-service bar. Once you have eaten some of your ramen and saved the broth, you can bring back rice from the bar and add it to the remaining tomato broth to make a risotto-style finish 🍚 ![Rice served with tomato broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-08-1ev9w-900.webp) Do not just finish with the noodles—if you still have room in your stomach (?), definitely bring back a little rice and make it risotto-style! 👩🏻🍳 ## Tantan tomato ramen set menu ![Menu guide at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-09-6ybvd-900.webp) ![Menu board at Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-10-vk8ux-900.webp) ![Tomato ramen menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-11-1hjll-900.webp) ![Ramen set menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-12-1g3sl-900.webp) ![Menya Pomo menu offerings](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-13-1uf1v-900.webp) ![Ramen and side dish menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-14-1ya6i-900.webp) ![Menu information for Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-15-19lih-900.webp) 📍 Please refer to the photos above for the menu 📍 The set seemed a little more reasonable than ordering items separately, so I ordered the tantan tomato ramen set 🍅 ### My first tomato ramen ![Tantan tomato ramen set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-16-ukrz8-900.webp) The main dish I ordered this time was tomato ramen! Since it was my first tomato ramen, I was curious whether it would taste closer to pasta or feel strongly like ramen. ![A bowl of tomato ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-17-qcuyi-900.webp) One bite in, I could taste tomato’s distinctive savory depth along with the rich ramen broth, so for a tomato lover like me, it was totally my kind of thing .. 🍅 Just because it has tomato does not mean the broth is overly sour or light, absolutely not!!! It was delicious with the noodles too; none of the flavors felt separate. ![Tomato ramen with rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-18-1oqp7-900.webp) It definitely had a charm that differs from ordinary ramen, so if you are getting a little tired of the tonkotsu or shoyu ramen you always eat, this is a menu item worth trying at least once. Even first-timers to tomato ramen, like me, can give it a go without feeling intimidated. ![Tomato ramen noodles and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-19-1jz8i-900.webp) ![Components of the tantan tomato ramen set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-20-zymtk-900.webp) The set also comes with basil rice 🍃 Tomato and basil have always gone well together, right? So a bite of rice followed by a spoonful of broth is a heavenly combination. If one bowl of ramen feels just a little lacking, I recommend ordering the set rather than a single item 🤩 ![Ramen set served with basil rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-21-1ksvw-900.webp) Besides the set, I also ordered fried shrimp. Why? Because I love shrimp. Ramen alone can feel a little plain, but having fried shrimp in between bites made for a great combination. ![Fried shrimp ordered with ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-22-v3je5-900.webp) If you visit with a group, it would be nice to add a side dish to share 🪄 There were plenty of sides besides the fried shrimp too. ![Side dishes good for sharing](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-23-1usnv-900.webp) ### A perfect finish with karaage ![Karaage included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining-24-rc4eu-900.webp) The set also comes with karaage (Japanese fried chicken)!! Picking up a piece here and there while eating the ramen made the meal much more satisfying than having just the main dish 💖 For a day when you are craving something a little different from your usual ramen, or want to try ramen that brings out tomato’s savory flavor, I recommend Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch, a great restaurant in Seongsu-dong. This was my first tomato ramen too, and the ramen-and-tomato combination worked better than I expected, so I happily finished the whole bowl in no time 💖 I recommend it to anyone looking for a simple meal during a Seongsu date or a good place to dine alone in Seongsu 🍅🍅 ## Where it is - Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch (멘야포모 성수점) - B1, 101, 37-17 Yeonmujang-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 성동구 연무장길 37-17 지층 101호) - 서울특별시 성동구 연무장길 37-17 지층 101호 - 37.5434189, 127.0536399 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A9%98%EC%95%BC%ED%8F%AC%EB%AA%A8%20%EC%84%B1%EC%88%98%EC%A0%90/@37.5434189,127.0536399,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@water-pitcher-8d3a/seongsu-tomato-ramen-solo-dining/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
