The rich man's family really likes to eat pasta, whether it's ramen, beef noodles, udon, or spaghetti. It seems to be an old-style udon shop that started its business outside the station.

The self-service ordering machine has an interface in Chinese and English. Diners can order their own meals. After paying, the self-service ordering machine will print out the order form, and then just hand the order to the staff.

Since I just arrived in Seoul, I haven’t had a chance to go there yet.Get Korean Won from ATM, I only had a little cash on me, and considering that my children can’t eat spicy food, I ordered a basic soup udon to try.

In fact, both bowls of noodles tasted delicious. The udon noodles tasted very elastic, and the soup of the soup udon noodles was also good. It was not overly flavorful and had the aroma of bonito fish. But the rich man thinks that the spicy fish plate udon is even better. The Korean-style sweet chili sauce has a slightly sweet taste. Although it is very spicy, it is still a mouthful of boiling water and a mouthful of udon (laughs). The fried food is freshly fried. I didn’t expect that simple seaweed-wrapped rice noodles could be so delicious. Station Udon detailed menu.

rich man experience

The chef Baek Jong-won truly lives up to his reputation. I've seen "Baek Jong-won's Alleyway Cuisine" on Star World before, and it's truly admirable how he saved so many restaurants that were facing danger or were poorly managed. I'm so lucky to have personally experienced a restaurant run by Mr. Baek in Korea. I recommend it to anyone who loves udon, and even a millionaire!

restaurant location

It may be a newly opened store, but I can’t see it on Google Maps yet, so I called the nearby CU convenience store, and the udon noodle shop was right next to it.
