Yuzu Ramen Bonjeom reinterprets Japanese ramen through a Korean lens, operating as a Korean Noodle Bar. Located on Mallije-ro behind Seoul Station, it is a key destination for ramen enthusiasts in Seoul. The signature shio ramen uses a chicken and seafood broth subtly brightened with yuzu. This citrus element provides a crisp finish to the soup. Thick Iberico pork chashu is torched for a smoky aroma while remaining tender, paired with crunchy menma and fresh arugula. House-made whole-wheat noodles are thin and elastic, carrying the broth's flavor well. The restaurant offers complimentary refills for both noodles and soup. Diners can adjust the tartness with Goheung yuzu concentrate provided at tables, though a small amount is recommended to maintain balance. Side dishes like gyoza and karaage are available, often paired with Suntory highballs. The counter-focused interior suits solo dining, but queues are common during lunch. Using the CatchTable app is recommended for waiting. An annex also operates nearby.
