Your first Hangang ramyeon: find a shop, cook and tidy up

01

Choose a shop as well as a park

The centre of a park is not necessarily where you can buy and cook noodles. Check the shop name in our Hangang ramyeon list and use Map for the final route from the park entrance. Seoul's official facilities map is another reference.

Machines, containers and eating areas vary. Do not assume every convenience store has the same equipment. First ask whether you can prepare noodles there.

Choose, pay, cook, eat and clean up

Buttons, water quantities and cooking times differ by machine. Do not apply another shop's or video's settings automatically.

1. Confirm that cooking is available, which container to use and where you may eat.
2. Distinguish packet and cup noodles. Read spice, ingredient and allergen information; toppings may cost extra.
3. Confirm the total for noodles, container, toppings and machine use.
4. Use the specified container and follow that machine's instructions. Ask staff if unsure.
5. Place the hot container on a stable, designated surface without blocking a walkway.
6. Follow instructions for broth, containers and packaging, and leave the eating area tidy.

Questions to show the staff

Point to your noodles and container while showing the sentence so staff know which product you mean.

04

A short walk, with your return exit in mind

Locate the shop, eating space, toilets and exit for your journey back. Wind and rain can affect outdoor eating and facility operation, so check the day's park and shop information.

A simple outing is noodles at one shop, a nearby riverside walk, then your station or bus stop. If staying for night views, identify the return route before dark.
