Yomenya Goemon Gangnam is a Japanese-inspired restaurant near Gangnam Station in Seocho-gu, Seoul, built around a menu centered on souffle omelettes. With over 1,200 Google reviews and a 4.0 rating, the restaurant draws consistent crowds - weekend waits often exceed 20 groups, though brisk turnover typically puts diners at a table within 20 to 25 minutes. The most popular item, the mentaiko souffle omelette risotto, arrives as a cloud-like meringue dome that bounces gently under the spoon. Beneath the airy exterior, the risotto combines a creamy base with the briny kick of pollock roe in a well-balanced pairing. Portions are generous, and the richness builds toward the end, making the tabasco sauce placed on each table a useful counterpoint. The set menu includes a beverage and a creme brulee dessert - requesting the dessert toward the end of the meal ensures it arrives warm, with a properly caramelized sugar crust that cracks satisfyingly. A full set runs approximately 20,000 KRW per person. The pasta selection leans heavily toward Japanese-fusion styles, so careful menu selection is advised, and certain side items such as menchikatsu have drawn mixed assessments for consistency. Ordering runs through a kiosk system that handles payment in a single step. The dining space is compact, but pre-registration through CatchTable allows guests to browse the Gangnam area while waiting for their turn.
