Perfect Guide to the Top 5 Restaurants in Songpa-gu - Truly Recommended by Locals!
Starting the Culinary Exploration in Songpa-gu
Hello! Songpa-gu, famous for Lotte World Tower and Seokchon Lake, has now become a hot spot for foodies as well. Since being designated as a Jamsil Tourist Special Zone, there are truly diverse and delicious restaurants here.
I've been working near Songpa-gu for four years now, and during that time, I've visited many restaurants on foot. Today, I'll introduce you to the TOP 5 restaurants that are genuinely delicious and have a 100% revisit intention!
Each has been selected from different food categories, so you'll find the perfect restaurant for any mood.
1st Place: Byeolmi Gopchang (Bangidong) - The Absolute King of Gopchang in Songpa-gu

Location: 64-1 Bangidong, Songpa-gu, Seoul (Main Branch)
Phone: 02-413-3610 (Main Branch), 02-414-4545 (2nd & 3rd Branches)
Hours: Main Branch 14:00-02:00, 2nd & 3rd Branches 12:00-05:00
Price Range: Small Intestines·Mixed Intestines 25,000 KRW, Fried Rice 6,000 KRW
Transport: 3-minute walk from Exit 2 of Songpanaru Station on Line 9
This is the absolute legend of Bangidong's food alley! It's so popular that it has expanded to three branches. The first time I went, I waited about 20 minutes, but after tasting it, I immediately understood why people line up.
The biggest charm of their gopchang is that it's filled with tripe! There's no unpleasant smell, and it comes with chives, so it's not greasy at all. Especially, the fried rice is truly a masterpiece, fried in gopchang oil, making it incredibly savory.

Tip: If the wait is long at the main branch, check out the 2nd or 3rd branches right next door! The taste is the same. And the fried rice is a must!
2nd Place: Bangidonga (Bangidong) - The Ultimate in Premium Pork Belly

Location: 1st Floor, 4 Ogeum-ro 15-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul
Phone: 02-415-7220
Hours: 15:00-24:00 (Reservations available 15:00-18:00)
Features: Operated by a former Shilla Hotel chef, meat grilled by staff
Transport: 2-minute walk from Songpanaru Station on Line 9
This is a high-end pork belly restaurant run by a former Shilla Hotel chef! What sets it apart from other meat restaurants is the specially aged tender pork neck and domestic 1+ grade female pork belly.
Most importantly, the staff grill the meat with care, allowing you to enjoy your meal comfortably. The 100% pure mozzarella cheese fried rice you have at the end is also incredibly delicious!
It's a bit pricey, but perfect for special occasions. The restaurant is spacious and clean, making it perfect for dates or family gatherings.

3rd Place: Menya Hanabi (Songpa-dong) - The Original Mazesoba, Featured on Gourmet TV

Location: 38 Baekjegobun-ro 45-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul (Songpa-dong 57)
Phone: 070-8959-1108
Hours: Tue-Sun 11:30-21:00 (Closed on Mondays, Break Time 14:30-17:00)
Price Range: Nagoya Mazesoba 9,800 KRW, Negishio Mazesoba 12,800 KRW
Transport: Walkable from Seokchon Station on Line 8, Songpanaru Station on Line 9
This is a Japanese-style mixed ramen specialty restaurant featured on Gourmet TV and Master of Living! It's a hidden gem in an alley near Seokchon Lake.
At first, I was skeptical about ramen without broth, but after trying it, it's completely addictive! The special sauce, minced meat, and egg yolk underneath the noodles create a truly unique and delicious flavor.
About a third of the way through, sprinkle a little kelp vinegar for a different taste, which is really amazing. After finishing the noodles, ask for a spoonful of rice and mix it with the remaining sauce for 'Oimeshi'!

Tip: Waiting is a given, so go at opening time! Also, there's a guide on how to eat mazesoba on the table, so be sure to read it before eating.
4th Place: Godosik (Songpa-gu) - Dining Code No.1, High-Quality Korean Beef Restaurant

Location: Around Songpa-gu, Seoul
Rating: ★4.7 (Dining Code Songpa-gu Meat Restaurant No.1)
Features: High-quality Korean beef, reasonable prices
Phone: Inquire per branch
This place ranked No.1 in Songpa-gu meat restaurants on Dining Code! At first, the name was a bit unique, but after trying it, it's truly a skilled meat restaurant.
The quality of the Korean beef is excellent, and the prices are more reasonable than other premium meat restaurants. The meat is cut thick, and the staff is friendly, allowing you to enjoy your meal pleasantly.
Especially, the special cuts are delicious, highly recommended for meat enthusiasts! It's also a great place for company dinners.

5th Place: Cheongwaok (Songpa-gu) - The Epitome of Clean Sundae Soup

Location: Around Songpa-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul
Phone: Inquire per branch
Main Menu: Sundae Soup, Boiled Pork
Rating: ★4.5
Transport: Various branches around Songpa-gu
When it comes to sundae soup in Songpa-gu, this place is unmissable! Unlike others, it has a clean taste without any greasy feeling. The broth is really refreshing and perfect for hangovers.
Here's a real tip: If you order boiled pork, you get a free bowl of soup! If you go with a friend, order a small boiled pork and one sundae soup, then add some sundae soup ingredients to the soup, and you get two sundae soups, haha.
It's great for a hearty meal alone or for a hangover cure!
