Huiok
희옥 Heeok (喜屋) reads 'house of joy' — the shop's own account says it means a house where anyone can sit down to a bowl of ramen and feel glad.

Heeok is a ramen shop tucked inside the Eojjeoda Gage building on Worldcup-ro 19-gil in Mangwon-dong. The signature is a clear chicken-broth shio ramen, alongside a shoyu ramen and a small chashu rice bowl. A regular bowl costs 10,000 won, the tokusen version with extra chashu and torched chicken neck 13,500 won, and the rice bowl 2,500 won. Seating is a counter of about eight stools facing the kitchen, and you order on the way in. We read 30 posts dated 10 September to 13 October 2026: 6 turned out to be about other shops, 5 only introduce the place, and 19 record an actual meal.

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
- Waiting is the first hurdle. 17 of the 19 visit posts describe a queue. Remote sign-up on CatchTable opens at 9:30 a.m. for lunch; those who signed up then got in at about 12:20, about 12:30, 12:20–12:30, 12:56 and about 1:30 p.m. One writer says the list closed in under ten seconds. On-site sign-up opens earlier: one person arrived at 9:08 to find 18 groups ahead, another arrived at 8:16 and was first. For dinner, two posts signed up on site at 3:15 and 3:20 p.m. and got in near the front.
- It is counter seating only. Six posts say the shop is all bar seats, and they agree on roughly eight; one says there are no tables at all. Seven posts mention watching the ramen being made in the open kitchen, and one calls the room cramped.
- You order before you sit. Two posts used a small kiosk by the door to order and pay, and others describe ordering first and then being shown to a seat.
- Of the 19 visit posts, 7 went with a partner or spouse, 3 with friends and 1 with a sibling. One drove there.
2 more
- Four posts say this was not their first visit: a second visit, a third, a return from January, and a local who used to come three or four times a week early on.
- One writer, who considered walking from Hapjeong, recommends getting off at Mangwon Station instead. The 'five minutes from Mangwon Station exit 2' line appears in several info blocks, but those are copied, so we did not count them.

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
One writer, who considered walking from Hapjeong, recommends getting off at Mangwon Station instead. The 'five minutes from Mangwon Station exit 2' line appears in several info blocks, but those are copied, so we did not count them.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 2 (of 19 posts read) |
|---|
Two posts say the shop is on the ground floor of the building; nobody mentions stairs up or down.
No one wrote about a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. The only remark is that the shop sits deep inside the building, a few turns off the alley, and is easy to miss. That means unknown, not absent.
We don't know about the toilet. One post photographed a sign with the toilet code but did not say where it is. An 'outside, separate for men and women' line appears only in one copied info block, which we did not count.
No one mentioned: Second floor · 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 24 posts we gathered, 5 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
- Opinions on salt are split 2 to 2: two posts found the broth on the salty side, two found the seasoning just right.
- Speed is split too: two posts say each bowl is made to order and takes a little while, two say the food came quickly.
- Two posts found the bowl bigger than expected; one found even the tokusen a little short and plans to add noodles next time.
- Where to wait is split one to one: one writer sat on a chair outside for 79 minutes, another says the residential street has nowhere good to wait and suggests going to Mangwon Market. Several spent the time at a café across the street.
- All the opening hours are copied from listings. Three posts agree on weekdays 11:00–20:00 with a 15:00–17:00 break, Saturday 11:00–15:00, closed Sunday, and two more say from experience that Saturday is lunch only. One post gives 11:00–20:00 Monday to Saturday, another weekdays to 19:30 and Saturday to 14:30. Most give last orders at 14:30 for lunch and 19:30 for dinner.
- Prices are consistent: 10,000 won for a regular bowl, 13,500 won for tokusen, 2,500 won for the rice bowl, 500 won for half a bowl of rice; one post alone lists tokusen at 13,000 won. One pair paid 28,000 won with extra toppings. Nobody called it expensive, and two posts said it was good value.
- No post gives a phone number; a CatchTable screenshot in one post shows none listed. The note that there are no reservations, only on-site or CatchTable queueing, also comes from copied info.
- One menu name changed. Posts up to mid-September call it Black Shoyu Ramen; from a 16 September post on it appears as Shoyu Ramen, and a 29 September post says it was recently renamed. The price stayed at 10,000 won.
