Hello!

Today, I'm reviewing Oreno Ramen, a ramen restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide 2025!

It's famous for its rich chicken broth. I visited with high expectations, as I heard you can enjoy excellent ramen at a reasonable price!

The main branch of Oreno Ramen is located in Hapjeong and is a two-story building.

Apparently, it's the first ramen restaurant in Korea to be listed in the Michelin Guide!!

You wait on the first floor and then go up to the second floor.

It seems to have been a Michelin-recognized restaurant since 2019!

The instructions on how to use the restaurant were also written kindly.

Instead of Catch Table or Table Ring, there is a ticket vending machine in front of the restaurant, so you can visit and get a ticket and wait!

Finally, entering the restaurant! There are also hangers for you to hang your clothes comfortably.

The main menu items are Tori Paitan Ramen and Kara Paitan Ramen!

They are almost the same, but Kara Paitan Ramen is spicy with chili oil.

I wanted to try both, so I ordered one of each!

Finally, the Tori Paitan is here!

Isn't it unique that the soup is full of foam?

According to the Michelin description, the broth is ground before serving!

Perhaps that's why the broth clings to my mouth and feels much creamier.

The egg was so delicious, needless to say, and what was especially delicious was the kelp on top!

Oreno Ramen whips the broth once more before serving to create a rich foam, which creates a texture that clings to the mouth. 'Paitan' refers to a white soup made by boiling a whole chicken, characterized by a deep flavor with a savory aroma and creamy texture. The combination of homemade noodles, tender chicken, kelp, and eggs is excellent. You can choose a spicy broth depending on your preference, and noodles, rice, and broth can be refilled. The waiting line is always long, but the turnover rate is fast, so you don't have to wait long. It is recommended to add the free chili peppers.

Happy Moment

Kara Paitan is the same. The broth was full of foam, so it tasted like it stuck to my mouth.

It was a little spicy, so I could eat it without getting tired of it until the end.

Ordering both was a divine move!!

Touching Scene

Ramen seems simple, but I liked it so much because it felt like they put a lot of care into the ingredients here.

The chicken was incredibly tender, and the combination with the chewy kelp was so good.

Can you see the soup? Next time, I have to have a bowl of Kara Paitan...wow

Dreamlike Moment

I heard that they make the noodles themselves, and they were so chewy and good.

Valuable Experience

In the end, I added noodles ㅎㅎ They gave me more noodles, green onions, and meat~

Wonderful Photo

Noodles, rice, and broth are added for free, so enjoy as much as you like!!

Touching Scene

If you like ramen, I definitely recommend you visit...

The basic one was also very, very delicious, but if you are sensitive to greasy food,

I recommend Kara Paitan!

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.
