우동키노야 용두점 Udon is the thick Japanese wheat noodle and Yongdu-jeom marks the Yongdu-dong branch; none of the posts explain what Kinoya means.

The Yongdu-dong branch of the Udon Kinoya chain, on the ground floor of the Hillstate Cheongnyangni Metroblle retail block in Dongdaemun-gu. We read 19 posts from 16 August to 5 October 2026; one was about the Gangnam branch, and the other 18 are all first-hand visits. It opened in mid-August 2026 — an 17 August post ate half-price bukkake udon on opening day. Plain bukkake or kake udon is 8,000 won, tempura-topped bowls 11,000–15,900 won, and gyudon or cutlet sets with a small udon 14,500–15,900 won. Seven posts say you order on a tablet or kiosk at your seat. One blogger went five times and wrote five posts, so 18 posts are not 18 different people.

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
- Seating is mostly counter stools around the kitchen and along the window. Whether there are any tables is split: four posts say counter only, two say there are a few tables further in. Four posts call the room small, and the post written with a child warns that you can't sit facing each other.
- Eight posts say the kitchen is open and you can watch the cutlets and tempura being fried. One explains that the cutlet rests on a rack before serving so the oil drains and the batter stays on. Thirteen posts describe the batter as crisp.
- Three posts waited: about 10 minutes in one, a brief wait as the only party at 11:30 on a weekday in another, and one picked dishes while queuing. There is a waiting board at the door where you write your name and party size by hand — one post remarks that most places use an app now. One post mentions waiting chairs outside, and one went at the 11:00 opening to avoid a queue.
- Ten posts mention the receipt-review event: you pick a sesame salad, a mini curry rice or a drink, and six posts took the curry.

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
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside

| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 18 posts read) |
Seven posts say it is at street level, not underground — a corner unit facing the Hi-Mart, as one puts it. Three posts mention the glass frontage and sunny window seats.
Seven posts place it on the ground floor, but nobody says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller gets in — we don't know. One post notes the kitchen-side stools are very high and the window-side ones normal height.
Only one post covers the toilet, saying it is outside the shop. Two say the toilet code is shown on the seat tablet. Nobody says more about where it is or whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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
- One post describes getting there by subway: about a five-minute walk from Yongdu Station exit 2. The walking times from Cheongnyangni and Jegi-dong stations appear in one blogger's identical info block across five posts, so we treat them as copied.
- One post differs on the broth: a repeat visitor wrote on 28 September that it tasted a little bland that day, and her son agreed. Three posts, that one included, say it isn't salty.
- Fourteen posts give the opening hours, all the same: 11:00–21:00 with a 15:00–17:00 break; five add last orders at 20:00. Most are copied info blocks, and nobody mentions a regular closing day. One post notes a Chuseok holiday closure, which is a one-off.
- Prices come from posts dated August to October 2026; the 4,000-won bukkake on opening day was a launch promotion. Two posts say the prices are fair and none call them high. One post lists summer-only dishes, so the menu may change with the season.
- Eleven posts give the phone number, 070-4006-5098, but none says whether it takes reservations; the only system described is the name board at the door.
- Five of the 18 posts are one blogger's separate write-ups of visits three to five, all opening with the same info block. They carry receipts, so we counted them, but read the totals knowing one voice appears five times. Two other bloggers wrote two posts each.
