Yeban is a home-style set-meal (baekban) restaurant in a side street of Seongsu-dong 1-ga, six or seven minutes' walk from Ttukseom Station. Posts give 8,000 won for a set meal whose soup and sides change daily, and 10,000 won for mains like grilled mackerel or spicy pork over rice. Several describe it as a lunch spot for nearby office workers. We read 14 posts from January 2025 to July 2026. Eight are about this restaurant, and seven of those describe an actual visit. The other six were about different places that share the name: two in Chungju, one on Namsan, an art-supply shop in Hongdae, and a person called Yeban.

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
- People come back. Six of the seven visit posts mention earlier visits. One office worker says it was their fifth time and that they ordered the mackerel set every time. Another blogger calls Friday 'Yeban day', and five months later writes about returning after three months away. One of the six, though, ends by saying they probably won't go often.
- It's a walk from the subway. Three posts give directions: six minutes from Ttukseom Station exit 4, seven minutes from exit 2, and roughly 500 m from exits 3 and 4. Two mention that it's near Dong-A Green Apartments.
- The seasoning is gentle. Two of the three posts that describe the taste say the side dishes aren't salty and the meal felt like home cooking. One adds that the spicy pork is sweet rather than hot.
- No one calls it expensive. Of the four posts that discuss price, two say it's cheaper than nearby places or that 10,000 won even gets you soup. The other two just list prices.

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
It's a walk from the subway. Three posts give directions: six minutes from Ttukseom Station exit 4, seven minutes from exit 2, and roughly 500 m from exits 3 and 4. Two mention that it's near Dong-A Green Apartments.
Getting inside
No one described which floor it's on from their own visit. The registered address says ground floor, but that's copied information, not someone's report.
We don't know whether there's a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. No one wrote about it.
We don't know whether the restroom is inside or whether it's separated by gender. No one mentioned it.
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 8 posts we gathered, 1 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
- Only one post describes the service. It calls the woman serving (staff or owner) curt and the male owner friendly, and says that once the set meal arrived without its main dish. No one else wrote about service.
- Posts disagree on whether food is made to order. One says the mackerel was freshly grilled. Another says food came out in under five minutes and guesses it was made ahead.
- One post mentions chairs outside for people waiting, but no one wrote about actually queuing. That doesn't mean there's never a wait, only that no one reported one.
- We don't know whether there's a lunch queue. None of the seven visit posts gives a wait time.
- One post describes the seating: a single row of tables, from ones for solo diners to ones for groups, with side dishes already set out. Another calls it a small neighborhood restaurant.
- There's no clear picture of who people go with. One post went alone, and one ordered spicy pork for three. The rest only hint at lunches with coworkers.
- Three posts list the same opening hours: weekdays 10:00-20:00 with a break from 15:00 to 16:30, Saturdays until 14:00, closed Sundays. But one is copied store info and the others look transcribed, so none is a time someone checked in person.
- Prices held steady from September 2025 to July 2026: 8,000 won for the set meal and 10,000 won for mains. We don't know about later prices.
- Two posts give the same phone number, 0507-1403-5902. No one says whether reservations are taken.
