Memo: A Gelato Gem in Yongsan You Can't Miss
Yongsan is known for its abundance of dessert spots, where new stores can quickly disappear. But Memo feels like a place that will easily last for 30 years or more.
Located in the Central Park Harrington shopping center, Memo is not just another gelato franchise.
If you love gelato, you're probably always wondering what to order. That's why I'm writing this post – to recommend the must-try flavors at Memo. I think this will be helpful for anyone looking for a great dessert place in Yongsan.

2. How to Order
Orders are placed through a kiosk.
The atmosphere is truly amazing, isn't it? Perhaps because of the nearby National Museum of Korea, the classic ambiance blends well with the local character, making the interior design quite impressive.
Next to the kiosk, there's a clear description of the gelato flavors available.
The prices are very reasonable, so I plan to revisit and pay with my own money next time.
Most importantly, it's delicious!
3. Top 3 Menu Recommendations
The reason why it's a great dessert place in Yongsan? Simply, it's delicious!
If I had to pick just one thing that's the most delicious at Yongsan Memo, I wouldn't be able to choose, so I'm going to recommend three flavors.
First, the Pistachio is nutty and savory. Also, the Riso (rice flavor) is the best.
Uniquely, they offer a "one bite" option here. It's even pretty and generous in portion size. So, to summarize the combinations I ordered:
✔️ Cup Gelato
6.5
I chose Riso and Pistachio, then selected Chocolate for the "one bite" flavor.
✔️ Cup Gelato
6.5
Matcha, Raspberry Sorbet
I selected Coffee Stracciatella for the "one bite" flavor.
The second combination is an unchanging truth: Matcha and Raspberry Sorbet. And the last "one bite" is Coffee flavor.
The coffee flavor was surprisingly rich, which I liked.
I ordered and enjoyed the cup gelato for 6.5.
Honestly, when you order cup gelato, you can't have a cone, which is a bit disappointing, but they offer a "one bite" gelato, so the satisfaction level was 1000%.
✔️ Whiskey Gelato
15.0
I had the Whiskey Gelato with Riso, which is the combination the owner recommends the most.
The whiskey flavor was stronger than I expected. Even I, who don't usually enjoy alcohol, could approach whiskey comfortably.
Remember this great dessert place in Yongsan. Memo-rize Memo!
Memo seems to be of a different quality than typical gelato franchises.
4. Reasons to Recommend It
Flavors of the Week
9/15 ~ 9/20
Thanks to the diligent owner, customers will be able to enjoy visiting every week. Gelato made with rich, high-quality ingredients made directly in the store and weekly changing menus – add one more regular customer!
And the visuals are so great. It's perfectly Instagram-worthy.
If you like gelato in Yongsan, I think it would be great to eat a combination of creamy Riso with chewy rice grains and the savory richness of pistachio.
So, my recommended Yongsan Gelato Best 3 is Riso, Riso with Whiskey, and Pistachio.
Besides gelato, there are also various menus paired with whiskey.
I only knew Yongsan was famous for gelato, but the Whiskey Gelato was so delicious that I wanted to eat it again next time.
Isn't it great to buy gelato and go to the nearby park to eat it?
The weather is so nice these days, and it's located near the park, Yongnidan-gil, and the National Museum of Korea, so it's convenient in terms of accessibility, and it's definitely a great place for pedestrians to visit.
I recommend the unique signature menu of Yongsan Dessert Restaurant, the delicious "one bite" that you can only taste at Memo. In addition, I recommend that you choose and enjoy the various gelato menus made directly.
I'll have to come here to eat Yongsan gelato from now on. Just because summer is over doesn't mean you shouldn't eat ice cream, right? I always take good care of it.
Yongsan's leading dessert restaurant with sophisticated interior and luxurious branding
The sensual interior and stylish furniture arrangements are so overwhelming that they represent Yongsan.
It was so good that it was great to visit the screen just to eat Memo, not to eat Yongsan ice cream after eating spicy food.
Yongsan Memo is made with rich Yongsan gelato made from good ingredients made directly at the store, and has captured the hearts of local residents with menus that change every week.
I actively recommend Yongsan Dessert Restaurant.
