Easily one of the best ramen i have tasted in Seoul. The basil ramen is simply special and delicious. The broth was rich, creamy and full of basil flavour. The charsiew was also very tender and tasty. I arrived at 11.30am just as they opened and within 15 minutes the place was full for lunch. I also ordered an extra side of onsen egg and additional noodles cos the broth was so goos. Highly recommended

I had the basil ramen, mini chashu and pickled tomatoes.
The pickled tomatoes were so good! They were in a sweet brine of yuza and wine and they were refreshing and wonderful.
The mini chashu had rice, meat, and sliced onions. It was quite tasty and the sauce was a touch sweet so it was really great with the salted pork.
The basil ramen was surprisingly delicious. I got the extra chashu (4pc) and there is the regular with 2 pieces. The broth combined with the basil was delicious and their chashu was to die for. However, when eating the noodles I felt like I was having a mix of pesto pasta and ramen. I'd give it a 4/5 and definitely worth a try.
My wait outside was about 15minutes. There were 4 groups ahead of me.
Would go back again to try the different ramens

Go early unless you want to queue. The basil ramen is definitely interesting but the spicy ramen has my heart. Definitely try the tomato at the end. It tastes how you imagine a tomato should taste as a fruit. The side pepper and daikon is also so good. One of the best in Seoul.

Pork Ramen Soup restaurant. Food was delicious however a bit salty (I think all Japanese ramen contains much salt) and had to drink water. 7k krw for a bowl of chashiu ramen and 10K krw for basil ramen.
Since the restaurant only had limited space, long queue is a must thing to expect.

Small cozy place with a long wait due to the unique taste. The most famous dish is the Midori ramen (green ramen) which is filled with basil (10,000 won). The broth is delicius and the noodles are thin and just right. In terms of portion, one serving is enough but if you're a big eater, I recommend adding extra noodles for 2000 won. You order before you are seated. Wait time around 30 min on weekends.
My friend ordered the Kitsune ramen (7000 won) which is your standard pork broth ramen. It's tasty and the meat a super soft.
