Incheon Asiad pasta lunch set: Toowoomba, huge salad, Eopu Kitchen

Today I'm writing up my lunch set at Eopu Kitchen (어푸키친), a great spot near Asiad in Incheon! It's a casual fusion pasta restaurant run by a chef with 18 years of experience, and it's already loved by lots of people as a Western-food favorite near Seogucheong Station, so I'll start with a recommendation 🤍

Where is Eopu Kitchen in Incheon and how do you get there?

Eopu Kitchen is on the 2nd floor of a building on Seunghak-ro, a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Seogucheong Station (Seohae-gucheong) on Incheon Line 2. Buses 17, 43-1 and 93 stop right in front at the Seogu Health Center stop, so it's easy to get to!

The name Eopu is meant to say "falling for pasta"! Eopu-eopu~ (like a splash into the water) Great naming sense, I have to say.

Even the standing sign was so cute,, Can't you smell something delicious..? haha

Is there a wait at Eopu Kitchen for weekday lunch?

On weekdays Eopu Kitchen was full by around 12:00–12:10. Go up the stairs to the 2nd floor and there are 3 waiting chairs lined up. I arrived around 11:40 on a weekday morning, basically an opening run, and walked in as the first customer! And I'm glad I did: by 12:00–12:10 it was packed with people coming for lunch,, as expected from such a popular Asiad restaurant!

Eopu Kitchen interior and seating

The interior felt cozy and tidy! The air conditioning was cool, and the lights placed here and there made the atmosphere really nice. There are plenty of tables with generous spacing, so it's comfortable to eat with company.

Some tables had reserved signs on them. Since it's so popular, I guess many people book ahead so they can have a relaxed lunch!!

There are baby chairs, so it's a good place for a family meal! With badges like "Seo-gu Delicious Map" and the "2025 National Favorite Restaurant" top rating of 3 stars, my heart was already pounding before eating, I tell you~

Eopu Kitchen menu and July 2026 anniversary discount

For the whole of July 2026, Eopu Kitchen is running a special customer-appreciation event for its 4th anniversary: 20% off when you pay ₩40,000 or more. Amazing, right? There's also an event where you get an ade (fruit soda) for leaving a review, and pregnant guests are sometimes given an ade too.

And there's a lunch set where you can pick your own combination! (Extra charges depending on your menu choices)

The menu covers risotto, pilaf, pizza, salad, oil/cream/tomato pasta, steak, sides, and other drinks and alcohol.

Eopu Kitchen pasta lunch set: price and what's included

The pasta lunch set at Eopu Kitchen is ₩35,000 base, and you can choose pasta + pasta or pasta + risotto. We went for the pasta set!

• Pasta/risotto surcharge threshold is ₩14,000: if you pick something priced at ₩14,000 or more, you pay the difference!
• The drink is an Americano (hot/iced) by default; changing the drink costs extra!

Here's the combination we picked.

• Pasta 1: Toowoomba (+₩5,000)
• Pasta 2: truffle mushroom cream risotto (+₩5,000)
• Salad dressing: garlic
• Drink 1: Zero Cola (+₩1,000)
• Drink 2: green grape ade (+₩4,000)

Warm bread and pickled radish + jalapeño, which are great to nibble between bites of pasta and risotto! I saved the bread instead of eating it before the meal, so I could dip it in the pasta sauce.

How big is the lunch set house salad?

This is the house salad included in the Eopu Kitchen lunch set,,, the portion,,, I was seriously shocked when I first saw it 🤍

Honestly, the salad that comes with a set menu is usually so-so, right? Like it feels a bit too little for two people,, but the house salad at Eopu Kitchen is crazy big.

You can choose oriental or garlic dressing for the house salad, and we chose garlic. Fresh vegetables, cherry tomatoes, pineapple, and a slightly sweet, slightly sharp garlic dressing went together sooo well. It was a shame to watch it disappear, so I found myself eating it slowly,, 🤍

What does Eopu Kitchen's Toowoomba pasta taste like?

Eopu Kitchen's Toowoomba pasta (a creamy, mildly spicy pasta) was thick, smooth and a little spicy, so there was no time to get sick of it!

They mix the sauce and noodles well, and the steam was rising,, wow, just looking at it makes my mouth water~

The noodles were cooked just right: a little chewy yet slightly firm, just perfect to eat!! Having the chewy mushrooms and plump, bouncy shrimp in between makes it even better~~

Then I took the bread I'd saved and dunked it deep in the Toowoomba sauce! Crisp outside, soft inside, soaked in sauce, so good that I seriously debated ordering more bread,, 🤍

Is the truffle mushroom cream risotto rich in truffle flavor?

The moment Eopu Kitchen's truffle mushroom cream risotto arrives, a strong truffle scent shoots right up your nose. My truffle-obsessed boyfriend picked this one! The aroma gets even stronger when you stir it, and the sauce had soaked into every single grain of rice,,

As the name says, it's packed with mushrooms, and the texture and flavor were so good that at first I wondered if there was meat in it.

A thick, rich sauce, springy risotto grains, and the aroma and taste of truffle full of flavor. Everything came together so well that I'd recommend it!! 🤍

Cleanse your palate with the sweet green grape ade with a refreshing lemon slice, and the meal is done!

Thanks for the meal 🤍

Where to park for Eopu Kitchen

Unfortunately, Eopu Kitchen has no private parking lot. You can use the Asiad P6 lot (free, with EV charging), or the free roadside spaces on both sides of the two-way road leading to P6. The Seo-gu Office public lot near the restaurant is paid!

Do you need a reservation at Eopu Kitchen?

Eopu Kitchen is so popular as an Asiad and Seogucheong Station favorite that if you're going at peak time or on a weekend, I recommend booking through Naver Reservation first~

Would I go back to Eopu Kitchen?

YES! The lunch set at Eopu Kitchen was so good~ Next time I'm planning to have the panne pasta (pasta served in a bread bowl) and the pork neck steak salad!!
