Nanpo COEX
난포 코엑스
Compiled from 21 blog posts read in fullSources →
A modern Korean place behind a blue wooden gate on the B1 level of Starfield COEX Mall, right next to Hoho Sikdang. People order by QR code at the table and share plates: kale-wrapped rice with thick doenjang (12,000 won), aged-kimchi rolls topped with seasonal fish (16,000 won), a shrimp and potato pancake (20,000 won) and noodles (14,000–16,000 won). We read 30 posts dated 14 September to 23 October 2026; 21 describe an actual visit. Six were about other businesses and three only mentioned the place in passing. Two posts that gave a total: 48,000 won for three dishes between two, 64,000 won for four dishes between three.

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
- Whether you wait depends on the hour. Eight posts waited and nine walked straight in. The waits: about 10 minutes around 1 p.m. on a weekday; 10–15 minutes behind four groups; 20 minutes after joining the remote queue at 11:40 on a weekday as number 12; around 30 minutes behind 20 groups at Sunday lunch. Walk-ins were on weekday evenings, a Sunday evening, before 6 p.m., around 8 p.m., and just after the afternoon break. Remote queueing is inconsistent: four posts joined via Tabling or Catch Table, while one said only on-site waiting was possible and another could not register through the app at 5 p.m.
- You order by scanning the QR code on your table; ten posts said so. Several noted barley tea and brass spoons already set on the table, and more than one singled out the barley tea as good.
- Portions divide people. Four posts found them small — one said three people need about four dishes, another that two dishes for two left them a bit short. Three found them generous, one of them about the beef-bone soup and another because the kimchi rolls and rice balls pack a lot of rice.
- Seven posts called the shrimp and potato pancake crisp; it is made from shredded potato rather than the chewy grated kind. Three posts disliked that the shrimp is dried, with shells that crunch or a flavour that dominates.

Three posts drove and parked in the COEX Mall garage; two compared finding their way back to it to the Backrooms. Parking fees and validation figures come from copied info blocks, 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.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 1 of 21 posts |
|---|
It sits in the B1 food court of the mall. One post described walking there past an escalator from Starfield Library, and five said the mall was hard to navigate; several suggest looking for Hoho Sikdang or the KFC opposite.
No post said whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or pushchair gets in — that is unknown, not a no. The one post with a toddler only said the booths and chairs made sitting together easy.
Nobody said whether the toilet is inside the restaurant; separate men's and women's toilets appear only in one post's copied info block.
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, 3 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 price split: two posts found it expensive, three thought it fair. Rice and noodle dishes run in the 10,000s and larger plates 20,000–30,000 won; the two posts with full bills paid 48,000 won for two and 64,000 won for three (about 21,000 each).
- Service reports differ: one post praised staff for checking every table before last orders, two said the floor was unstaffed so they had to go to the kitchen, or that a server was a little curt. Two posts got side dishes refilled on request.
- Seasoning splits too: two posts found things salty (the side dishes, the octopus noodles), three said not.
- No post described the walk from a station; Samseong Exit 5 and Bongeunsa Exit 7 appear only in copied info blocks.
- Five posts went with friends, three with family, three as a couple and three as a larger group such as colleagues. Tables are mostly four-tops; a party of seven was split three and four. Two of the posts appear to describe the same meal from two people, so they may overlap.
- Fifteen posts give opening hours, mostly copied: 11:00–21:30 with a 15:50–17:00 break in twelve, closing at 22:00 in two, at 21:00 in one, a break from 15:30 in two. A post that came at 8 p.m. was told the kitchen closes around 20:40. No post mentions a closing day.
- Seven posts list the phone number as 0507-1317-1563; one gives 02-551-1540. One writer noticed the phone ringing unanswered because no one was on the floor. Nobody said whether phone reservations are taken.
