Imelda Bunsik
이멜다분식 Imelda is a woman's given name and bunsik means Korean snack food such as tteokbokki and fritters, though the kitchen mostly serves pasta, omurice and pork cutlet.
Compiled from 27 blog posts read in fullSources →
A small restaurant in unit 315 on the third-floor walkway of Sewoon-Cheonggye Arcade (the old Daelim Arcade), 160 Cheonggyecheon-ro, about a five-minute walk from Euljiro 4-ga station. The name says bunsik, but the menu centres on omurice (13,000 won), pork cutlet and pasta (14,000-15,000 won) and curry rice (13,000 won), with soupy tteokbokki (6,000 won) and fritters on the side. Since October 2026 it has added evening bar dishes (beef hot pot 28,000 won, jjol-sundubu hot pot 22,000 won, meat fritters 15,000 won, taco bomb 12,000 won), and October posts give a 10 pm close. You order by QR code at the table and pay after eating; pickles and jalapeños are self-serve. We read 30 posts from 12 May to 14 October 2026, 27 of them from people who ate there.

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
- There are outdoor tables on the arcade walkway in front. 19 of the 27 visit posts mention them. One counted three outdoor tables; an August post said about two. One post says that when a queue formed after 7 pm the owner put out an extra table, another moved inside when a seat opened up, and two noticed blankets left out on the outdoor seats.
- The inside is small. Nine posts called it cramped or not big, and no visit post called it spacious. Posts count four or five tables plus a bar counter facing out, or five or six tables; two- and four-seat tables and solo bar seats come up repeatedly. One post says staff asked a lone early arrival whether the rest of the party was on the way.
- Three posts report waiting: about five minutes behind two groups at 1:30 pm on a public holiday, a wait on a Saturday but none on a Monday, and a queue forming after 7 pm on a weekday evening. Four more mention queuing without actually waiting. The waitlist is a CatchTable kiosk at the door.
- Six posts booked through Naver or told readers to book, some to secure an indoor seat since there are few, others to get an outdoor table.
2 more
- Twelve posts mention the receipt-review event: post a review and get tteokbokki, a canned drink or iced tea. Two posts ate the free tteokbokki and one got a grapefruit ade instead.
- Fourteen posts called the coating crisp: the meat fritters in October, the Royal pork cutlet and karaage before that. One post said the cutlet nearly covers the plate, and several called its sauce sweet.

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
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 4 (of 27 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 2 of 27 posts |
It is on the arcade's third floor, not a basement. Four posts describe going up, two of them by lift. One post says they got lost for about 15 minutes finding it.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in. One post copied a listing line saying wheelchair seating is available; we did not count it. Two posts mention a lift up to the third floor.
No post says whether the toilet is inside the shop or split by gender. That doesn't mean there isn't one, only that nobody wrote about it.
No one mentioned: Second 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 29 posts we gathered, 2 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
- Opening hours changed. Posts up to September 2026 give 11 am-9 pm daily with last orders at 8:20; October posts give 11 am-10 pm. Even in October, last orders are split between 9 pm (three posts) and 9:30 (two), and two posts say Friday and Saturday run to 11 pm. The weekday 4-5 pm break is the same in both periods, with no break at weekends. All of this is copied from listings, and no post mentions a closing day.
- One price went up: an August visit's menu shows Cass and Terra bottles at 4,000 won, while three October posts paid 6,000 won (described as 500 ml; we can't tell whether it is the same bottle). Meal prices stayed the same in every post from May to September. No post called it expensive, and three said the prices were reasonable.
- The ten visit posts from 4 to 14 October all cover the same new dishes (beef hot pot, jjol-sundubu hot pot, meat fritters, taco bomb), the Asahi deal and the outdoor seating in the same order, and four share almost the same hashtag line. None discloses sponsorship; three say they paid their own way.
- Many posts list the phone number 0507-1431-1182, but none says they phoned to book or ask; bookings were made through Naver and CatchTable.
