호과당 The sign reads 虎菓堂 — tiger, confection, hall; one blogger passes on the shop's own reading, a place as strong as a tiger and as warm as a pie.
Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →
A take-away pie shop at 45 Seoulsup 2-gil, at the mouth of the Seoul Forest café street. As of September 2026 it sells four pies — tomato pork ragu (₩6,300), smoky garlic chicken (₩6,500), apple (₩5,200) and an autumn squash–sweet potato (₩5,600) — and a three-pie gift box for ₩17,000. There is nowhere to sit, so people eat in the alley, in Seoul Forest, or reheat them at home. A July 2026 visit found only three pies; the squash pie shows up from September. We read 30 posts published between 16 September and 4 October 2026; one was about another shop, and 25 describe actually going and buying.

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 is no seating. Of ten posts that mentioned it, nine said there is nowhere to eat inside. People wrote about eating while walking the alley, carrying pies onto the Seoul Forest lawn, or reheating them at home. Many posts suggest the rooftop café Grey Penguin a minute away, but that line is copied from the shop's own promotion.
- There is often a line. All five posts that mentioned waiting saw one — a short wait around 3 p.m. on a Sunday, a very long line, a small cluster at the door. None gave a time in minutes.
- No one called it expensive. Of eighteen posts that dealt with price, twelve said it was easy on the wallet. Single pies run ₩5,200–6,500; one post noted the three-pie set at ₩17,000 against ₩18,600 for the same pies bought singly with a box.
- Celebrity autographs hang on the wall; four posts said they saw them, naming BTS's Jungkook and EXO's Chanyeol. Other posts headline the Jungkook visit as hearsay, and we did not count those.

- Nobody found it greasy. Of eleven posts that described taste and texture, five said the ragu or chicken pie was not greasy at all.

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
6 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post describes the floor. The address says ground floor, unit 102, but nobody wrote about it from experience — that means unmentioned, not confirmed.
Nobody said whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller fits. One family went with a baby but did not mention a stroller.
No post mentions a toilet; for a small take-away shop nobody brought it up.
No one mentioned: Second floor · 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 29 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
- The lineup changes. A post with a July 2026 receipt listed just three pies; September posts list four with the squash–sweet potato pie. A returning visitor first there in October 2025 noticed the menu had changed, and an April 2026 visit found a 'tiger butter rice cake'. It looks seasonal, so check what's on when you go.
- A few prices disagree: the squash pie is ₩5,600 in eight posts and ₩5,500 in two, and one post put the three-pie set at ₩17,500. Otherwise the September 2026 posts agree.
- Opening hours were all copied from listings. Every post has closing at 9:30 p.m.; six split it as 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. at weekends, four said 10:30 a.m. daily, one said 10 a.m. daily. No post mentions a closing day.
- Directions vary a little. Six posts that wrote as if they walked said four to six minutes from Seoul Forest station; info boxes mostly give exit 5 of Seoul Forest (4 min) or exit 8 of Ttukseom (7 min), though one gave different exits.
- Few posts say who they went with: two with friends, two with family, one with a husband, one by car. It's a take-away stop, so company rarely comes up.
- Eight posts copied the phone number 0507-1461-8038. Some info boxes say reservations are possible, but nobody wrote about phoning ahead or reserving.
- The same phrases recur across many posts — the French Elle & Vire butter, six bakers every morning, Grey Penguin one minute away, the reheating instructions — in the same order, often with the same block of hashtags. No post discloses sponsorship and only two say they paid themselves. We treated those phrases as the shop's own copy and counted only what posts said they bought and paid.
