Rojioden
로지오뎅 홍대 Rojiodeng Hongdae A Japanese oden and yakitori bar in the lanes off Hongik University Station, where the broth keeps simmering in a burner set into your table until two in the morning.
Data as of · Published ·
Roji Oden is a Japanese-style oden and yakitori bar on the ground floor at 86 World Cup buk-ro 2-gil, about a hundred metres into the lanes from exit 3 at Hongik University Station. Several posts explain the name: roji means alley. It opens at four in the afternoon and closes at two the next morning. Each table has a burner sunk into it so the oden keeps simmering in front of you, and the skewers go over charcoal once you order. There is table seating, a counter, and a raised floor section where you take your shoes off. There is another branch of the same name in Mullae — do not confuse them. The posts we read run from March to September 2026, the shop's first half-year.

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.
These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go.

What sets it apart
- Ten of the writers got something free for posting a receipt review — a chewy tofu dish (six of them) or pineapple sorbet (three), with one offered a choice between the tofu and a lemon sorbet. Which means nobody has paid for either of those dishes, and we do not know what they cost. Separately, two posts (April and August 2026) report that following the shop on the map app gets you a free bottle of beer or soju if you arrive before eight. Worth knowing, because the dessert photograph at the end of a post is not a measure of the kitchen — it is a measure of the review.
- Sixteen posts describe the walk, and every one of them counts from exit 3. Three give it in metres — 109, 150, 100 — four call it one to two minutes, four call it three, three call it four or five. The landmark they repeat is not the cinema but the lane: one writes out the turns (straight 150 metres, straight again 200, then right into the alley), another says head towards the park and turn left at the cookie shop. One notes that it is also easy to get home before the last train — which counts for something at a place that runs until two.
- Three kinds of seat: tables, a counter, and a raised section where you leave your shoes. Eight posts mention the last one and none of them call it the same thing — tatami room, platform, floor table. One counts only two such tables, and one notes the well cut into the floor so you can dangle your legs. Four describe the counter as the place to drink alone, but only one writer actually came alone — a draught beer, five single pieces of oden and one skewer. The other three were watching other people. Six posts say the place is roomy, but some mean the room and some mean the gap between tables, so we have not counted all six as a claim about size.
- Six posts say it is not loud, in six different phrasings that come to the same thing: quieter than the street outside, calm enough to talk, not the shouting kind of Hongdae bar. Nobody says the opposite. But four of the six arrived early — between four and seven — and not one post describes the place after midnight. It runs until two in the morning, and what it is like then we do not know.
- Four posts say you can watch the skewers being grilled — the kitchen is open, and the charcoal is in view once you order. One writer draws the inference: a new place that lets you see the kitchen is a place confident about the kitchen. The same writer adds something nobody else does — that despite the smoke off the charcoal, the room does not smell of food. Whether your clothes come out smelling of it, only that one post addresses.
- The skewers take a while. Two posts time them: one at about fifteen minutes and advises ordering everything at the start; the other at fifteen to twenty and advises spacing your orders out. The advice points opposite ways for different reasons — the first begrudged the wait, the second ordered all at once and found the last ones cold. The oden goes the other way: one writer says it came quickly, and another notes the card on the table telling you to let it simmer ten to fifteen minutes before you start.
- Two writers noticed a plaque on the wall. One reports a grand prize at a food festival and a master-of-Korean-cooking certification, and says it made her trust the food more; the other simply congratulates the shop while waiting for her order. Neither names the competition or the year, and nor can we. We count only that two people saw it.
- Nobody calls it expensive. The two posts that discuss price both say the opposite — assorted oden and skewers for thirty-odd thousand in Hongdae, and a draught beer at ₩4,000 that one writer calls a steal. Read it alongside a second fact, though: only one post prices the menu properly. Across twenty-eight, three give a set price (₩37,000, ₩38,000, ₩25,000), two give the ramen (₩9,800 both times), and exactly one — from April 2026 — prices the single oden pieces (egg ₩3,000, rice-cake stick ₩3,000, grilled chikuwa ₩3,000, two stuffed pouches ₩2,000, fish-cake trio ₩3,000, chicken thigh skewer ₩4,000, udon ₩3,000, draught beer ₩4,000 — eight items for ₩25,000). One family of three spent ₩75,700 on a set, a ramen and three drinks.
- Nobody reports queueing, but three writers record when the room fills. One arrived around opening and found plenty of space, then full by just after seven. One came early on a weeknight, found three or four tables occupied, and left with the place nearly full. A third, summing up, says she would come back but for the possibility of a wait. None of them actually waited — all three went early. Two posts say the shop takes bookings, both in a copied listing block, and nobody reports having made one.

It is at street level. The licence address ends "1F" and so does the check-in line in all twenty-eight posts. But nobody describes the threshold. Two writers note that the sign and the door are visible together from the lane, and that on a fine day the folding front is opened right up so you can see in from outside, which suggests it is more or less level with the pavement — whether there is a step, nobody says.
Not one post says whether a wheelchair or a pushchair can get in. No step at the door, no doorway width, nothing, in twenty-eight accounts. One thing is worth knowing, though: part of the seating is a raised floor section you climb onto with your shoes off, and eight posts describe it. The tables and the counter are ordinary chair seating by several accounts, so those look manageable — but that is us inferring, not anyone checking.
One person looked at the lavatory. Her whole account is that there is one inside, and that this matters more than people think. That is all we have — whether men's and women's are separate, how many cubicles, whether any of it is accessible, appears nowhere in twenty-eight posts. One writer reproduces a listing block (booking, waiting area, wi-fi, couple seats) that does not mention it either.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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 27 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
- Twenty-eight posts, not thirty — and twenty-six people, not twenty-eight. One belonged to the Mullae branch of the same chain: its check-in gives a Yeongdeungpo address and the entry opens by naming that branch. Another we could not treat as a visit — it sums up four dishes in two or three lines each, gives no price anywhere, describes the skewers at second hand ("the smell is said to lift the whole room"), and hands the opening hours off to the map app. And two bloggers wrote twice each, in April and again in September; one of the September posts says in so many words that she was back. Twenty-eight accounts is not twenty-eight people, so we say so.
- Three posts declare that they were given something free. One carries the standard disclosure line at the top; one itemises the bill as ₩75,700 total, ₩30,000 covered, ₩45,700 paid; and one closes by thanking the shop for inviting a beginner. Two state that they paid for themselves. The remaining twenty-three say nothing. Among those, one reproduces the shop's own website copy along with its seating, parking and payment listings, and another has left a manuscript placeholder — "(photo / chicken karaage photo)" — sitting unedited in the middle of the text. Both record eating, so both stay in the count; but do not read these twenty-eight as twenty-eight people who simply walked in.
- The shop is new, and we have only six months of writing about it. The oldest post, from 17 March 2026, calls it newly opened; an April one still remarks on how clean a new place looks. So what we know is a first half-year — nothing yet about how the prices move or how the menu changes. The single oden pieces are priced in one April post and never again, so we cannot even say whether anything has gone up. Nor has a full year of seasons passed: spring, summer and early autumn only, and not one post describes an oden bar in winter.
- The earliest posts and the later ones disagree about opening, and it reads as a change rather than a dispute. The two oldest (17 and 18 March 2026) both say closed Mondays; every one of the twenty-one from April through September says daily, and a September post states outright that it never closes. On the hour, twenty-two agree on four in the afternoon until two the next morning — one August 2026 post alone says five. Whether that is a typo or a spell of opening later, the posts cannot settle. One March post gives the hours as "00:00–24:00", which is a blank rather than a number, so we have not counted it.
