Ura
우라 Ura (ウラ) is Japanese for 'the back' or 'the inner side' — posts say the name refers to its spot on a quiet back street behind busy Seongsu.
Compiled from 27 blog posts read in fullSources →
Ura is a Japanese izakaya on a side street near Ttukdo Market in Seongsu-dong; many posts copy that it opens at 17:30 and closes Mondays. We read 30 posts from October 2024 to September 2026; 28 record an actual visit (one is an unrelated song post, one a list of twenty restaurants). Posts say the menu and room were renewed around June 2026. Since then people order ankimo hirame (18,000 won), a sashimi assortment and karaage (12,000 won) with Suntory draft (8,500 won). Before that (October 2024 to May 2025) they ate eggplant-and-pork kkanpunggi (16,000 won), yakisoba, sake-lees oden (18,000 won) and crab cream pasta (18,000 won). Twenty posts say you order from your phone via a QR/NFC tag at the seat instead of a paper menu.

Rows without a count: 7 of 11 posts.
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
- A free starter arrives when you sit down — 14 posts mention it. In the nine posts up to May 2025 it was dressed cabbage; in four posts from June 2026 it was seasoned seaweed stems (one more post didn't know what it was).
- Ten posts mention a free item for writing a review, and the item changed. Five posts from December 2024 to March 2025 got a highball; four from June 2026 got kyuri tataki (smashed cucumber, 7,000 won à la carte). One June 2026 post with a receipt got potato salad instead.
- A large counter wraps the kitchen in the middle, with a window counter and two four-person tables besides — 14 posts make clear it isn't counter-only. The counter seats 'more than ten' (December 2024) or 'about 12 to 13' (June 2026).
- Eleven posts say you watch the cooking right in front of you from the counter; one December 2024 post remarked on how spotless the open kitchen was.
5 more
- Eight posts found it quiet, being off Seongsu's busy streets. One September 2026 post notes they had the place to themselves at the 17:30 opening but it filled up around 19:30.
- Only one post waited: full at 19:30 on a December 2024 Saturday, they 'waited a little'. A Friday-evening post in October 2024 had no wait, and a July 2026 post walked in before 18:00 and sat straight away. Two posts booked ahead.
- The walk from exit 3 of Seongsu Station is given as 10 to 17 minutes; one post says 'over 15'. Two posts say the bus is easier: routes 2014 and 2224 stop right outside, and one rider took the 2014 from near Jayang Station.
- Six posts went as a couple — the most common — four with friends, and two as a group on a second round.
- Three December 2024 posts mention a Christmas tree in the room.

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
The walk from exit 3 of Seongsu Station is given as 10 to 17 minutes; one post says 'over 15'. Two posts say the bus is easier: routes 2014 and 2224 stop right outside, and one rider took the 2014 from near Jayang Station.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 27 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Separate restrooms | yes 0 · no 1 (of 27 posts read) |
Floor: the address says ground floor, but no post describes going up or down stairs. We don't know.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in. That means nobody wrote about it, not that it's impossible.
The toilet seems to be outside the restaurant. One June 2026 post says you step out to the building next door; another says it is in the building and unisex. 'Separate men's and women's toilets' appears only in copied amenity lists, which we don't count.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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, 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
- All opening hours are copied info. Eleven 2026 posts mostly agree: Tue–Thu and Sun 17:30–24:00, Fri–Sat 17:30–01:00, closed Mondays. Posts from December 2024 to May 2025 gave Tue–Sun 17:30–01:00, and one October 2024 post gave an 18:00 opening.
- Five posts call prices reasonable and one says it's on the pricey side. Nobody gives a total bill; dishes run from 7,000 won (kyuri tataki) to 23,000 won (asari sakamushi). Crab cream pasta rose from 18,000 won in three December 2024 posts to 21,000 won in June 2026.
- Many posts give the same phone number, 0507-1384-5862. Booking via CatchTable or Naver is widely copied, and two posts actually booked ahead.
- Promotional cluster: two September 2026 posts share identical sentences about the wood-and-check-floor interior and the chef's Tsuji culinary school background, and only one discloses sponsorship. Three June–July 2026 posts share the same slogan and dishes. We don't treat the chef's credentials, which come from the house, as evidence.
