Butanchu Konkuk University Branch

Address: 117-14 Dongil-ro 22-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul

Hours: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM

Toku Tonkotsu Ramen: ₩9,500

Karaage Set + Rice: ₩3,500

I recently visited Butanchu after a job interview in the Gwangjin-gu area. I was craving ramen, so I searched for a ramen place on my way home.

Of course, the interview was a complete failure... 😭

The ramen restaurant I visited is famous for its Tonkotsu ramen:

"Butanchu Konkuk University Branch"

Butanchu is located inside an alley.

It's right on the corner of the building, so it was easy to find. Inside, there are seats for one person up to four people, but there aren't that many seats.

They have four main ramen options, and I chose the most basic one:

Toku Tonkotsu Ramen.

I chose the Hosomen noodles based on a recommendation. For the sauce and toppings, I went with a normal amount of sauce, but a lot of bean sprouts, garlic, and green onions.

Finally, I added a Karaage set. I sat in a single seat near the entrance.

The food came out almost immediately.

Ramen

The ramen had a deep, savory aroma, and was piled high with the bean sprouts I added.

And then there was the warm, crispy Karaage.

Karaage

I should have asked for half the noodles at this point, but I was so hungry that I forgot and ordered a full portion.

So, I ended up with a huge portion of noodles.

I regretted it as soon as it arrived.

The chashu (pork belly) was large, and the broth was really rich and deep in flavor.

However, it was a little salty, even though I ordered the sauce to be a normal amount.

The Karaage was crispy and warm, so it was delicious, but the ramen portion was so big that I ended up taking it home. 😅

Still, I managed to eat almost all the bean sprouts, broth, and rice, so I felt somewhat accomplished. It's a great place for solo dining.

Ramen Broth

You can customize your ramen to your liking, changing the noodles or sauce depending on your mood, which is nice.

But next time, I'll ask for less sauce and fewer noodles.

Don't be greedy! 😉

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
