Sobamae Nigo
소바마에 니고 Nigo is Japanese for 'number two' — posts note this is the second shop of Sobamae, whose first branch is near Ttukseom Station.
Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →
Sobamae Nigo is a soba shop half a floor below street level in an alley off Yeonmujang-gil, near Exit 4 of Seongsu Station. Three posts say it is the second shop of Sobamae in Ttukseom. People mostly ate hand-made buckwheat soba (kake soba 13,800 won, nishin soba with herring 21,800 won) and a buckwheat-batter special tendon (13,800 won), ordered and paid at a kiosk before going in. We read 30 posts published between 12 July and 5 October 2026; 29 describe an actual visit.

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
- You order before you sit. Seventeen posts describe ordering and paying at a kiosk at the entrance or on the stairs. Two say the whole party must arrive before ordering and entry, and two note the paper menu inside has no prices, so prices are only on the kiosk.
- You can watch the noodles being made. Ten posts saw the dough being kneaded and cut in a glass-walled noodle room; two found it empty because they came outside noodle-making hours.
- Twelve posts call the tempura on the tendon crisp, and three say it was not greasy. The gluten-free buckwheat batter is the shop's own claim, but one writer with a wheat allergy asked the owner and was told the tendon is gluten-free though the soy sauce is not. Most posts list crown daisy among the vegetables; one mentions water dropwort and one fatsia shoots instead.
- Most writers barely waited. Eight posts walked straight in — a Wednesday at 1:30 pm, a weekday at 1 pm, a weekday at 6 pm, weekend lunches. One post waited about 10 minutes on a weekday afternoon and noted the stairwell queue has no shade.
2 more
- The herring on the nishin soba is braised sweet; four posts say so. Three found no fishiness, one found it very fishy, and one writer, pregnant at the time, could not take the fish taste.
- Fourteen posts describe a mix of counter seats that suit solo diners and two- and four-person tables. Views on spacing differ: two say tables are packed close, one found them comfortably spaced. One post found a two-top and a four-top held as reserved.

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
3 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 13 of 25 posts |
|---|
It is below street level. Thirteen posts say you walk a few steps down to a basement or half-basement; none say ground floor. Several warn it is easy to walk past. One post found it bright despite being underground, and another mentions bar seats by the window.
We don't know whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in; no post mentions a threshold or ramp. That doesn't mean there is none — nobody wrote about it. Five posts do say you reach the door by going down stairs.
We don't know where the toilet is or whether it is split by gender; no post mentions it.
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 26 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
- Fifteen posts give opening hours, mostly copied from listings, and they disagree about weekends. Closed Mondays and 11:00-21:00 on weekdays (break 15:00-17:00, last order 20:30) are nearly unanimous. Eight posts say weekends close at 20:30, but one says only Saturday and one says only Sunday. Two say there is no weekend break; one says Sunday has one.
- Prices are from posts dated July to October 2026: soba 13,800-21,800 won, tendon 13,800 won, so a soba and a tendon for two comes to around 30,000 won. Three posts call it expensive, all about the 21,800-won nishin soba.
- Seven posts give the same phone number, 0507-1336-8454. Whether it takes bookings is unknown: one post found tables held as reserved, but no one wrote about booking.
