MENCHURU
멘츠루 을지로점 Menchuru Euljiro-jeom Men is the Japanese word for noodles; none of the posts explain the rest of the name, which is the chain's brand.
Compiled from 27 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Japanese ramen shop on the ground floor of 26 Mareunnae-ro 2-gil in Jung-gu, between Euljiro 3-ga and Chungmuro stations, and the Euljiro branch of a chain with several shops around Seoul and Gyeonggi. You order and pay at a kiosk outside before going in; inside there are counter seats around the kitchen plus tables for two and four. Posts list shio and shoyu ramen at 11,000 won, tori paitan at 12,000, motsu (beef tripe) ramen at 15,000 and karaage at 7,000; several say rice is free. We read 30 posts dated 14 February to 14 October 2026, 28 of them from people who ate there. One was about a neighbouring café and was set aside; one was a copied list of ten Chungmuro restaurants.

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
- You order at the kiosk outside before you go in; 19 posts described this. One post notes that when there is a queue, the number on your receipt is your place in line, so keep it.
- Eight posts queued and two walked straight in. One August visit just after lunch waited about 20 minutes; a weekday visit around 5 pm found a long line. The two who sat at once came at 8 pm and outside the weekday lunch rush. One post says solo diners barely wait, while groups of three or more wait longer.
- One post mentions two or three folding chairs inside for people waiting.
- Fifteen posts said you can watch the cooks at work from your seat. Most describe counter seats plus a few tables; one counted three two-person tables and one four-person table alongside the counter.
6 more
- No post called it roomy. Six said it is small or cosy, and one said it is not big but did not feel cramped.
- Nobody complained about slow food; four posts said it came quickly, one clocking the ramen at under five minutes.
- Eleven posts said their dish was spicy, mostly the motsu ramen or the spicy shoyu. One self-described spice-shy diner put the spicy shoyu at about Shin Ramyun heat, milder than expected.
- Eight posts called the portions generous and one called them small: one said the motsu ramen was loaded with tripe, while one shio ramen eater wanted more noodles.
- Seven posts describe walking in from the subway or a bus stop, about three to five minutes from Euljiro 3-ga station exit 9; one walked over from a bus stop by Myeongdong Cathedral.
- Company varies: six posts went as a couple, three alone, two with family (one with children) and one with a friend.

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
Seven posts describe walking in from the subway or a bus stop, about three to five minutes from Euljiro 3-ga station exit 9; one walked over from a bus stop by Myeongdong Cathedral.
Getting inside
The ground floor appears only in the address; no post said which floor they actually found it on.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller fits. That doesn't mean there is a problem, only that nobody wrote about it.
We don't know whether the toilet is inside or separated by gender; no post mentions it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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 28 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
- Only one price moved: the fried gyoza was 5,000 won in a March 2026 post and 6,000 in two October posts. Ramen and rice-bowl prices stayed the same from February to October. The cold tsukemen (13,000 won) was a summer special seen only in August posts.
- The chicken-skin gyoza appears in March, May and June posts, but one October regular thought it was off the menu, while another October post still lists it in a copied menu. We don't know whether it is still sold.
- Twenty-three posts give the same hours, 11:00 to 21:30 every day; 15 add last orders at 21:00 and three say it never closes and has no afternoon break. Nearly all of this was copied from the listing.
- Posts give the phone number as 0507-1334-3555. Three posts booked through Naver before going, and one got a free-gyoza coupon for doing so.
- Ten posts published between 6 and 14 October 2026 share the same hashtags and the same stock question-and-answer lines, though none declare sponsorship. One post discloses sponsorship, one received its food from the shop, and five show receipts proving they paid.
