Irie Ramen in Hapjeong-dong Review: Menu Recommendations from Shio Ramen to Abura Soba!

Previous postmentioned that there are many ramen, tonkatsu, and sushi restaurants in Hapjeong-dong. This time, I visited another ramen restaurant.

This is my second visit since the company moved, and during my first visit, they only served sea bream ramen, so... I had no choice but to eat it. This time, I tried a different menu. Let's start the review~!

Exit Hapjeong Station Exit 7, make a U-turn and walk, pass Woori Bank, turn into the alley right after, and you'll see it in the next alley.

The restaurant has a bar-style counter, and there are no tables. There were 15 seats, 6+6+3. I'm not sure if it was 3 or 2, my memory is hazy. The side has 6 for sure.

Personally, I didn't like the Sea Bream Ramen. Of course, it had fish in it, but I didn't like the fishy smell. Unfortunately, on my first visit, they only sold Sea Bream Ramen, so I had no choice but to order it. The Chicken Broth Shio Ramen I had today was good. The broth was flavorful, and uniquely, they gave me a whole egg instead of half an egg, which is the norm.

Anyway, I recommend it!
