Irworui Jemyeonso Heunginjimun
일월의제면소 흥인지문 Irwol (日月) means sun and moon and jemyeonso means noodle mill — the shop makes its udon noodles in-house; this is the Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun gate) branch.
Compiled from 28 blog posts read in fullSources →
A house-made udon shop on the second floor of the Dongdaemun Tourist Hotel, right by exit 7 of Dongdaemun Station. Basic cold, dipping and hot udon cost 9,000 won, topped bowls 12,000 to 14,000 won, and the shrimp tempura set 16,000 won, all with Heunginjimun gate outside the window. One post says it opened in July 2026. We read 30 posts dated 17 August to 15 October 2026; 28 describe an actual meal and one was about another restaurant.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- The view is the gate. Of 28 visits, 25 mention Heunginjimun through the window. The window side is solo bar seating. One writer arrived at the evening opening to find every window seat already reserved; another found the bar full before noon on a weekday, and a solo diner couldn't get one at all.
- Expect a wait at weekend lunch and when evening service opens. Six posts waited, two walked straight in, two were unclear: eight parties ahead at 2 p.m. on a Saturday, ten minutes at 1:30 on a weekend, one or two ahead at weekend lunch, a line already at 5 p.m. as the break ended, none at 11 but a queue by noon. Two weekday visits around 2 p.m. had no wait. Four posts mention a sign-up machine and chairs at the door; one found the waiting area cramped and wandered outside. Nine mention Naver booking; one says weekends are walk-in only and booking is weekdays.
- Add the tsuyu a little at a time. Both posts that called it salty had poured the whole flask in at once; one diluted it with water. Four posts said it was not salty.
- Three posts ordered from a tablet at the table. One found no tablet or call button, and another notes a few tables lack one, so it likely depends on the seat.

- Four posts found the portions large; one felt the base noodle portion was small and asked for more. Many posts note that extra noodles are free.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
22 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside

|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 24 (of 28 posts read) |

You enter through the hotel lobby and climb a flight of stairs; 24 posts describe it. Three say the lift won't get you there — it is for hotel guests, and one writer rode it and ended up somewhere else. One post claims to have taken the lift, but its details read generic and we give it little weight.
On the lift, posts split three to one: three say it can't be used, one says they rode it up.
We don't know about steps at the entrance or wheelchair and stroller access — no one wrote about it. Three posts do say the lift is for hotel guests and you take the stairs.
One post says the restroom is inside the restaurant and three say it is separated by sex; the rest copied an amenities list. No one mentioned an accessible restroom.
No one mentioned: Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 29 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Posts split three to three on whether the fried food is greasy: the greasy verdicts came with the beef udon, the vegetable fritter or a lot of tempura; the others praised the thin batter. Twenty posts call the tempura crisp.
- Opening hours: 21 posts give the same 10:30 to 22:00 with a 15:00 to 17:00 break and last order at 21:00, but all of them copied it from a listing. No post mentions a closing day.
- Prices come from posts dated August to October 2026 and don't conflict. The phone number 0507-1342-0511 is copied in many posts; those who booked did it through Naver, not by phone.
- Thirteen posts repeat the same stock phrases — solo lunch near Dongdaemun Station, Asahi and Okinawa on tap, the gate lit up at night — and four share an identical hashtag list; only two disclose sponsorship. We counted what they ate but not these lines. Just two posts say they drank the beer, and one actually saw the night view.
- One writer noticed a faint musty smell from the bamboo mat under the noodles; no other post mentions it.
