Ramen Houmeiken in the Kyungsung University district serves up some of the best Japanese ramen in the city.
Consistently raved about from locals and expats, this 20 seat eatery takes their time to prepare amazing dishes at affordable prices.
The best selling tonkotso ramen, a staple of the Fukuoka and Kyushu region in Japan, starts at 6,800 and features a mouthwatering broth from pork bones which has been boiled for 24 hours. Don’t forget to crush your own garlic in for an even better flavor!
They also feature a spicier version of the dish for 7,000 won which you can order in three levels which comes in a red broth.
Chashu ramen for 8,000 won, chatoro ramen for 8,000 won and a miso ramen for 7,000 won are also available as are additional toppings to your meal for 500 to 1,500 won.
Be prepared to wait as they take their time to serve, though the wait is definitely worth it. The menu is also only in Korean and the staff doesn’t speak English, but it’s easy enough to navigate with the photo menu.
If you’re a fan of Japanese ramen, it’s worth the trek to get a bowl of what some say is the best ramen this side of Fukuoka.
