About
Euljiro ramen shop known for its rich sea-bream paitan, served with toppings including sea bream, chicken chashu, mushrooms, and menma.
At Menya Nonde, the bowl to seek out is sea bream paitan: a creamy, pale broth with a distinct fish flavor that settles into its rich chicken-based depth rather than overpowering it. Topped with sea bream, chicken chashu, mushrooms, menma, nori and scallions, it has plenty to explore between mouthfuls. One visitor ordered it “salty” and found the seasoning held its balance. If you prefer clear, light seafood ramen, this is the richer, fuller-bodied direction. The shop sits in the basement shopping area of Hillstate Seun Central, near Euljiro 3-ga. Inside, a long wood-toned counter faces the open kitchen, with dark walls and low lighting lending the room a calm, close-in feel. The preparation happens within view, and the counter layout makes this an easy place to settle in for ramen on your own. A small mentaiko rice makes a neat companion to the paitan, especially if you want a little extra without turning the meal into a feast. The menchi is more substantial: one account describes a crisp exterior giving way to a tender, juicy center, and remembers it as a highlight alongside the ramen. Together, the sides make a fuller meal while keeping the broth in the lead. Menya Nonde also experiments beyond its regular bowls. Past limited offerings have included shrimp tsukemen, built around finely ground whole shrimp, and sardine-niboshi abura soba for diners drawn to a more forceful fish savor. These were announced as small-batch specials, so they’re best treated as a glimpse of the kitchen’s range, not a standing menu promise. For a first visit, start with the sea bream paitan: creamy, savory and unmistakably fish-led, but not simply a bowl of seafood intensity. Add mentaiko rice or menchi depending on your appetite, then take in the quiet counter-and-kitchen rhythm as you eat.
