KIKINOHIHOU
키키노히호 Kikinohiho Kiki no hihō is Japanese for 'Kiki's secret recipe' — Kiki is the ramen-loving black cat the shop uses as its mascot.
Compiled from 24 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Japanese ramen shop on the ground floor of a red-brick house in an alley off Yeonmujang 7-gil, a short walk from Seongsu Station exit 4. The room is decorated around Kiki, a black-cat mascot, and you order from a tablet at your seat. Prices posted between June and October 2026: Kiki ramen 11,000 won, Angry Kiki ramen 11,500 won, mazesoba 12,000 won, and the signature Gyokai Kiki ramen 13,000 won; rice is free. We read 25 posts dated April to October 2026; one was about a different restaurant, and all 24 others describe actual visits.

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
- Ordering is done on a tablet kiosk at each table — nine posts mention it, and some note you pay right there too.
- Eleven posts describe a mix of solo bar seats and tables for two, four and six. One post was seated at a three-person bar counter because the tables were full at a weekday lunch. Only one post described the room as mostly bar seating.
- Waits are mixed. Four posts waited — the only one giving a time said about 15 minutes, and another said weekends always meant a wait. Three walked straight in, including one around 5 pm on a Saturday, and one got in right away near closing. One post says the whole party had to arrive before being seated.
- Instead of plain water you get tea — three posts noticed, one naming it as roasted corn tea.
3 more
- Five posts said the broth was not greasy; one found it too rich even for ramen.
- Five posts called the food middle-of-the-road — 'just ordinary Japanese ramen' — and one of them said they would not return.
- Six posts had draft beer with their ramen; one noted there is beer and highballs but no soju.

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 1 (of 24 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Step at the entrance | 4 of 24 posts |
The address says ground floor, but four posts describe climbing a short flight of steps to the door; one said it looks like a basement entrance but you actually go up.
No post says whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in; we only know four posts mention steps at the entrance.
No post says whether the restroom is inside or separated by gender — that means unknown, not absent.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · 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.

What we do not know
- Posts disagree on size: four found it roomy, three called it small or snug.
- The two posts calling the portions generous share nearly identical wording and structure, so we do not treat them as independent. One other post thought the bowl was a little small until rice was added.
- Two posts say in their own words that it is walkable from Seongsu Station; figures like '262 m from exit 4' are copied from the listing. No one mentions buses.
- Ten posts agree on opening hours of 11:00-21:00 with a 15:00-17:00 break on weekdays only, last orders 14:20 and 20:20. One post says the break is Tuesday-Friday only, so Mondays are unclear. No post gives a regular closing day.
- Each price appears in only one or two posts, so we cannot tell whether prices have moved. One June 2026 post said the gyoza recipe had changed.
- The phone number appears only in one post's copied listing block, and no post says whether reservations are taken.
- Claims like the 16-hour broth, 'not a chain', ten vegan bowls a day and an actor's recommendation are things the shop advertises or posts heard — we did not count them.
