Noodle houseJapanese

MENYA POMO

멘야포모 서울숲점 Menya Pomo Seoulsup-jeom Menya is Japanese for a noodle house; the posts never explain Pomo — the shop serves tomato-based ramen.

Data as of · Published ·

Menya Pomo Seoul Forest is a tomato-ramen shop on the second floor of 28 Seoulsup 4-gil, above the bingsu shop Dongbinggo. You pick one of five tomato broths (original, beef-bone, tom yum, Indian, tantan) and a heat level from 0 to 5; when the noodles are gone you add rice to the broth left at the dotted line and eat it as risotto. Plain rice and cabbage pickles at the self-serve bar are free. A meal runs about 12,500 won for a bowl alone or 22,000 won for a set with Hanwoo katsu. We read 30 posts from 13 June to 26 September 2026 and counted 24 as first-hand visits; 2 were about the Gangnam-gu Office branch and 4 were listicles or posts that contradict the rest.

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. Place — check hours

What sets it apart

  1. 4 posts describe walking from Ttukseom or Seoul Forest station. Stated times range from about 5 to 8 minutes from Ttukseom exit 8, and 5 to 7 minutes from Seoul Forest station.
  2. Nobody reported waiting. 6 posts walked straight in, mostly after the lunch rush — around 2pm on a weekday, 2pm on a Sunday, a late lunch. 4 posts mention a waiting-list board at the door, so it does fill up; one visitor found it half full at 5pm.
  3. Heat runs from 0 to 5, and the shop labels level 1 as Shin Ramyun-hot. 12 posts found it spicy, 2 did not, and 2 were lukewarm about it. Several said level 1 is milder than Shin Ramyun; the 2 who ordered level 5 said it just adds more chilli flakes and is far from unbearable.
  4. 15 posts say the Hanwoo katsu, karaage or shrimp were crisp; one noted the katsu stayed crisp even where it sat in the broth. The katsu is minced Hanwoo shaped and fried — one diner compared it to a fried tteok-galbi patty.
  5. 13 posts ordered on the tablet at each seat. A set adds two pieces of karaage, either risotto rice or a salad, and a drink; one diner assumed both came and missed the salad — it is one or the other.
  6. 7 posts saw a notice offering croquettes, grated cheese or a jumbo shrimp for a receipt or Kakao Map review; one diner took part and got two croquettes.
  7. 4 posts saw a wall notice saying only domestic Hanwoo cow beef is used. That is the shop's own claim, not something we could verify.
  8. Prices in visitor posts: tantan tomato ramen 12,500 won, beef-bone Hanwoo-katsu ramen 16,500, beef-bone tomato ramen set 18,000, Hanwoo-katsu ramen set 22,000, cutlet meals 13,800, jumbo shrimp 4,500. A June 2026 post paid 11,800 for cheese and chicken tomato ramen. Nobody called it expensive; 1 post called it good value.
  9. 5 posts found the portions large — one said the set salad came heaped like a mountain, another that two big eaters left full.
  10. 3 posts were return visits. 2 of them noticed the line-up had grown to five tomato broths, with the beef-bone Hanwoo-katsu ramen new — though those two read as if written from the same template.

Getting inside

Second floor13 of 24 posts

It is upstairs. 13 posts say second floor, and 6 of them describe climbing stairs from the street door; 2 say the ground floor is Dongbinggo. One uncounted post claimed you go down stairs, which contradicts every other account.

Nobody mentioned a lift, a step at the door, or getting in with a wheelchair or pushchair; 6 posts simply say they took the stairs. That is not proof there is no other way in — nobody wrote about it.

No one wrote about using the toilet. One post's info box lists it as outside the shop but inside the building; nobody said whether it is separated by sex.

No one mentioned: 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, 4 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

  • Posts agree on opening hours of 11:00–20:30, a break from 15:30 to 17:00, and last orders at 15:00 and 20:00. Days off changed: three August 2026 posts say closed Saturdays and Sundays, while September posts say open daily and one diner ate there on a Sunday afternoon. Most of this is copied from the listing, so we don't know exactly when weekend opening began. One post says closed on public holidays.
  • We don't know about reservations: 3 posts copy 'reservations available' from the listing, but nobody booked. Several posts give the same phone number, 0507-1484-1549.
