Those of you in Suncheon might be interested in Tomo (map here), in Geumdang, which opened over the summer.
My fiancee and I were excited about the self-proclaimed "Japanese style cafeteria," but were disappointed with the westernish interior---faux brick, leather chairs, and black and white pictures of old white people on the walls---and the limited menu. Walking by a couple days ago, though, I see they're advertising 일본라멘 and 일본우동. But having had a lot of ramen in Hakata and a lot of Udong in Kagawa, I'm not optimistic about how Suncheon'll stack up.
I haven't found anything in Korea purporting to be like Hakata ramen to be even close. Hakata ramen rocked my world view on ramen noodles.
ReplyDeleteA Japanese Facebook friend from Gwangju went there recently:

A little expensive and the noodles were off. Nonetheless, I'd like to give it a try.
My fiancee is from Kagawa, famous for Sanuki Udong. It bothers her that there's a Sanuki Udong place in Incheon Airport, because you know it's going to be insanely bad. I'm like "dude, now you know how I feel every time I see a goddamn sandwich, or a piece of garlic bread, or soup, or a cup of coffee."
And Hakata ramen is awesome. I was in Japan last month and ate it three times.
