This is the kind of place I want after a long day: a rich bowl of ramen, counter seating and a simple meal. I’ve tried the plain tonkotsu and the spicy versions.

Choosing the bowl

The photographed menu lists tonkotsu at ₩10,000 and spicy tonkotsu at ₩10,500. Level 1 was manageable for me; level 2 was much hotter. The menu offered three heat levels; I’ve described the first two I tried. If you’re unsure, start lower.

Rice and self-serve side dishes were included when I visited. I liked adding rice to the remaining broth near the end.

A small dinner spot

The room works better for one or two people than a large group. My route was from Sadang Station Exit 12, into the side streets.

I treat Hoshi as a dinner option, not a place to rely on after midnight. Check its current hours and closing days before going.
