Citrus-bright ramen near Seoul Station — where the noodles keep coming.

Yuzu shoyu ramen with chashu, soft egg and greens in a clear broth at Yuzu Ramen, Seoul Station
Yuzu Shoyu ramen — a clear, clean broth lifted by fresh yuzu citrus, with thin noodles, greens, a soft-boiled egg and flame-grilled chashu. Light and bright, not heavy.

I work on a hotel facilities team in this neighborhood, and we don’t do tourist traps. This little ramen shop in an alley near Seoul Station builds its whole menu around yuzu — a fragrant citrus that makes the broth taste remarkably clean and refreshing. And the noodles and broth refill free, as much as you like.

Eating solo?

A ramen shop is the easiest solo meal there is. Get the Yuzu Shio or Yuzu Shoyu (₩12,000) and refill — for free — whenever you want more.

Two or more?

One person orders the Shio, the other the Shoyu (or the tsukemen) — then taste across the table to compare.

The Bowl

Why It’s Worth the Walk

The chashu is flame-grilled — that smoky, torched edge (bulmat) is the best bite in the bowl.
Thin ramen noodles lifted from a clear yuzu broth with menma bamboo and greens at Yuzu Ramen Seoul
Thin, springy noodles in a clear broth — light enough that refilling twice never feels heavy.

The yuzu sauce on every table — the local trick is to add it mid-meal for a second flavor (see the tip below).

First-timer Guide

How to Order

  1. Check the waiting list by the door if it’s busy — write your name and number of people.
  2. Order one bowl — pick a flavor (shio = salt, shoyu = soy). One choice per order.
  3. Want more? Ask for a refill — noodles and broth are free and unlimited.
  4. Pay at the counter on your way out. Cards are fine. No tipping — ever, anywhere in Korea.
Good to know This is a popular Seoul Station spot — expect a short wait at peak lunch (12:00–13:00). Come a little before or after for a quicker table.
