Tired of the same old instant noodles you get at a convenience store? It’s time you’ve tried 일본정통라멘 in Sannam dong.


Bring yourself out of the cold and step inside this cozy and charming restaurant to get a taste of some of the most authentic Japanese Ramen noodles around. These noodles are a round trip ticket for your taste buds!

일본정통라멘, which roughly translates into Authentic Japanese Ramen, serves giant warm bowls of savory and almost creamy broth over a tangle of springy, chewy noodles. The whole thing is toped with a creamy boiled egg and two pieces of decadent pork belly. On the side, the restaurant provides a little kimchi and pickled radish, but good luck finding room for anything else after the very filling bowls of ramen.

The restaurant is warm and inviting, with the steam raising off the noodles and foggy up the windows of the restaurant. The décor is simply and kitsch and very Japanese. Inside you’ll find rows of instant ramen from Japan, kokeshi dolls and other super cute knick-knacks.
The menu is simple and the prices are reasonable. You can get either regular ramen or spicy ramen for 7,000 won, extra noodles for 500 won more and an extra side of pork for just 3,000 won more.

The restaurant is open from 11:30 a.m. until 9:30 at night. In order to find this tiny place, simply cross the street at Harmony mart and walk towards the light. The restaurant will be a small shop with a wooden exterior and delicious smells wafting out the door. A warm bowl of ramen is the perfect cure for your winter blues, so stop by today!
