About
A casual Songpa spot near Geoyeo Station serving hearty rice bowls alongside pasta, risotto, and salads. Its steak bowls and customizable pasta and risotto make it easy for groups
At 고탄산 in Songpa, the menu refuses to stay in one lane: rice bowls sit alongside pasta, risotto, salads and shareable sides. That range makes it an easy choice when a table can’t agree on a single kind of dinner. The room is described as clean and casual, with counter seats as well as tables for two and four; solo diners can settle in, while groups can order across the menu. Ordering by tablet keeps the process straightforward. The steak rice bowl is a natural place to start. One diner describes steak layered generously over the rice, with an egg yolk in the middle; break it and mix it through for a richer, softer mouthful. The cubed-steak version offers a different texture, with chunky pieces served alongside vegetables. For something lighter in feel, the salmon bowl pairs rice with a plentiful portion of salmon, while the beef-belly bowl brings a more savory option. Pasta fans have choices beyond the usual tomato-and-cream divide. Shrimp rosé pasta arrives with a thick, plentiful sauce, shrimp, rocket and cheese. For a sharper kick, the beef-belly mala cream pasta brings the prickly, aromatic heat of mala through the noodles. Risotto is on the menu too, including shrimp chili cream. The breadth is practical rather than fussy: a table can share a ricotta salad, then follow with bowls and pasta, or add crisp fried chicken tenders, karaage or shrimp tempura. The overall impression is of an informal neighborhood restaurant built for flexible meals: a quick solo bowl, a family dinner with several different orders, or a relaxed evening with a beer or highball. The food reports point to generous portions and approachable flavors, with some bowls praised for tasting clean rather than overly intense. Come hungry, and choose by appetite: steak and egg for comfort, rosé pasta for creamy richness, or mala cream when you want a little heat.
