Getting to this pasta spot near Suwon Station

It's on the 2nd floor of the building right across from Exit 12 of Suwon Station, where the Miche sign is.

I noticed a sign welcoming solo diners here. If you're looking for a place to eat alone near Suwon Station, I'd recommend this. Right from the entrance you can see all the menu items. It's a pasta restaurant near Suwon Station, but they also have Western-style pork cutlet. There are also great-value set menus for 1, 2, or 3 people, so ordering a set seems like a good way to eat for a discounted price.

Seating for solo diners and groups alike

Right as you walk in, there's a waiting area. Then you see 2-person and 4-person tables. It's a good setup for everything from solo dining to group meals. Past the seats facing the kitchen, further inside,

a wider space opens up with lots of different tables. There are 2-person tables good for solo dining, 4-person tables, and group seating that can be arranged to seat 8 to 24 by pushing tables together. Along the wall there are sofa seats for comfortable dining.

Two self-serve bars

There are two self-serve bars, one near the entrance and one in the larger hall. You need to grab your own utensils, tissues, water, pickles, small plates, and so on. They set these up before the food arrives.

₩1,000 off, varying by weekday

On weekdays, they offer a ₩1,000 discount that rotates by day. Check the sign for which items are on sale. It's already a good-value spot near Suwon Station, and with the weekday discount on top, you can eat even more cheaply. Good for solo dining. There's also an ongoing challenge event, so check that out too.

Each table has a table-order kiosk, so ordering and paying is simple. There's also a Naver receipt review event worth checking. I also read a bit of Rolling Pasta's note about using good-quality ingredients. Great value, but they seem to care about ingredient quality too.

Here's the country-of-origin label for reference.

Here's the menu. Use the table-order kiosk to pick your options.

What we ordered

• Bacon kimchi doria ₩9,500
• Spicy beef brisket oil pasta ₩8,900
• Oven mushroom cream gnocchi ₩11,500

Oven mushroom cream gnocchi, ₩11,500

This is potato gnocchi with mushrooms, bacon, and cream sauce, baked in the oven. The gnocchi looked pretty well-browned, so it was crispy on the outside.

I scooped up the mushroom, bacon, and cream sauce all together with the gnocchi. The cream sauce was smooth.

Cheese and bacon together — how could that not be good... Chewy potato gnocchi in nice bite-sized pieces. No spice at all, so it'd be good for kids too.

Spicy beef brisket oil pasta, ₩8,900

Pasta with beef brisket in a spicy oil sauce. They say it's a 2 out of 5 on the spice scale, but honestly I didn't notice much heat??? Since the gnocchi was cream-based, I was going to choose a rosé or tomato sauce pasta, but the word 'spicy' pulled me in.

If you're looking for a pasta that isn't too rich, I'd recommend this one. It's also cheap, so I'd recommend it as a good-value pasta option near Suwon Station.

I love beef brisket! Beef brisket is always right. There's brisket and garlic in it. Tomato too! The price is low but it tastes great, so it really is a good-value pasta spot near Suwon Station. It's not too rich, so it's easy to eat without feeling weighed down.

Bacon kimchi doria, ₩9,500

This is described as Korean-style doria with bacon, kimchi fried rice, and cheese for an appealing combination of flavors.

It's kimchi fried rice under a blanket of cheese. The cheese really stretches — good for a simple solo meal. Again, not much spice to speak of. Even people who can't handle spice should be fine with this.

Bacon shows up throughout too, and I liked that it wasn't finely chopped and stir-fried in but left in pieces. Kimchi fried rice is such a familiar flavor, but the cheese blanket makes it even better! I'd recommend this as a good-value, simple meal. A simple but satisfying lunch.
