Near Songnidan-gil. Menya Hanabi Jamsil Main Branch is widely recognized for introducing mazesoba to the Korean dining scene. Featured on various television programs, it remains a destination for those seeking the original style of these brothless Japanese noodles. A nine-minute walk from Songpanaru Station Exit 1 leads to the entrance, where walls are covered with celebrity signatures. The kitchen operates with a large team to manage the constant flow of guests. The Donikku Mazesoba features four thick slices of braised pork over noodles coated in a savory sauce. It maintains a specific density and seasoning profile that distinguishes it from newer establishments. Halfway through, adding kelp vinegar and chili flakes creates a sharper profile. Following local tradition, finishing the leftover sauce with a small portion of rice is standard practice. Alternatives include the spicy Taiwan ramen and a concentrated curry. The seating layout focuses on counters and window benches, accommodating solo diners easily. Reservations are not accepted, and guests wait in line outside. Since items are prepared in limited batches, arriving before 8 PM on weekdays or at opening on weekends is recommended for the full menu.
