Mentsuru Sinsa 멘츠루 신사점

Karai shoyu adds a sharp chili heat to soy broth, close to a Korean-style spicy soup, and the kitchen will tone it down on request. Motsu ramen brings chewy beef intestine in a savory, spicy broth; shio is the lighter bowl and paitan the rich chicken one. Saltiness can be adjusted, and free rice goes into the leftover soup at the end. Sides run to karaage, hormone-don (grilled beef intestine over rice with a light smokiness) and chicken-skin gyoza with a crisp shell. Tsukemen is sold only on Sundays and Mondays. Orders and payment go through a kiosk. Counter seats dominate the Japanese-styled room near Sinsa Station, turnover is quick so waits usually stay under ten minutes, and the restroom is outside the building.
