Ramen Library Signage
There are signs throughout the way to the Ramen Library at the CU Wangsan Marina branch, making it easy to find.
Exterior of the Store
The Ramen Library is a CU convenience store with a unique theme, located on the first floor of a building in Wangsan Marina Port. You can cook and eat various types of ramen like at the Han River ramen spots. I ate inside because it was hot, but it would be great to eat outdoors when the weather is nice.
Ramen Library
They have ramen packages displayed like books in a library! Haha.
It seems like all the ramen we know are there. Shin Ramyun Stir-fry/Dried Noodles, Jin Ramyun Mild/Medium/Spicy, Yeol Ramyun, Sesame Ramen, Seafood Ramen, etc.
In front of the "bookshelves," there are cup noodle structures featuring Samyang Ramen, Tempura Udon, Shin Ramyun, and Buldak Stir-fried Noodles.
Convenience Store Products
Alcohol, frozen foods, and drinks.
Cup noodles, rice, snacks, discounted items, etc.
Cup noodles and snacks.
Snacks and ice cream.
It's almost the same as a regular convenience store.
The CU Wangsan Marina branch is unique because it has a Ramen Library and ramen cooking machines on one side.
Products to Buy with Ramen
I bought hangover ramen vegetables, seasoned kimchi, and one boiled egg to have with my ramen.
The hangover ramen vegetables included bean sprouts, chili peppers, and green onions.
The seasoned kimchi is the flavor we all know, and the boiled egg is a boiled egg. You can add it when you cook the ramen.
Purchased Items
Jjawang Spaghetti Ramyun
Michelin Spicy Seafood Ramyun
Cream Jinjjamppong
Hangover Ramen Vegetables
Seasoned Kimchi
Boiled Egg
Kimbap, Triangular Kimbap
Kids' Drink
Starbucks Fizzio Drink
Fresh Tangerine Highball
I ended up choosing a lot of items!
Although it's not in the picture, I also bought a Fresh Tangerine Highball.
I've tried the Green Tangerine Highball and Lemon Highball, but I hadn't tried the Fresh Tangerine Highball, so I gave it a try!
Ramen Cooking Machines
The ramen cooking machines are the same as the ones on the Han River.
There were about seven machines.
I went around lunchtime on Sunday, and I was able to eat without waiting.
Cooking Ramen
Chosen Ramen
My child picked Jjawang Spaghetti Ramyun. My child always chooses Jjajang ramen.
I chose Cream Jinjjamppong, which I hadn't tried before.
I poured the noodles and soup into the ramen container from the package, but according to the instructions, there are three soup bases, and one was missing.
I wondered where it went, but it was under the noodles ㅠㅠ
Luckily, I picked it up before it melted, but the plastic was a bit flimsy.
Be sure to take out only the noodles when you put them in!
Michelin Spicy Seafood Ramyun + Hangover Ramen Vegetables
This seems to be the real deal. The bean sprouts, chili peppers, green onions, etc., in the hangover ramen vegetables made the broth even more refreshing.
Since it's seafood ramen, I could taste the seafood in the broth. I recommend the seafood ramen + hangover ramen vegetables combination!
I also added an egg to replenish my protein 💪💪
Taste Review
The cooked ramen.
Jjawang Spaghetti Ramyun is for my child, Cream Jinjjamppong is for me, and Michelin Spicy Seafood Ramyun is for my husband.
Everything was delicious 💪💪
The broth is definitely more refreshing when you add the hangover ramen vegetables 💪💪
Triangular Kimbap, Egg Kimbap
You have to eat kimbap with it~ I bought the triangular kimbap, and my husband bought the egg kimbap!
Drinks
I also bought the Fresh Tangerine Highball, Lipton Zero, and Starbucks Fizzio Peach Strawberry drink.
It tasted like tangerine juice 💪💪
Other
Microwave, ramen draining machine, tissues, wet wipes, chopsticks, etc.
You can use the microwave, ramen draining machine, tissues, wet wipes, chopsticks, etc., conveniently.
Restroom
The restroom is outside through the door that leads inside the building.
Yacht Experience
There's a yacht experience inside the convenience store building, and many people come to ride yachts.
The price wasn't as high as I thought, so I think it's worth trying!
Overall Review
The Ramen Library (CU Wangsan Marina Branch) at Wangsan Marina in Yeongjongdo was more than just a convenience store; it was a place where you could enjoy ramen in a unique way.
From the various ramen packages displayed like books to the convenience of choosing ramen, fresh vegetables, eggs, and kimbap and cooking it yourself with the ramen cooking machine, it's a lot of fun.
In particular, the seafood ramen + hangover ramen vegetables combination was refreshing and clean, making it my favorite! 💪💪
There's plenty of parking, and you can even experience yachting nearby, making it a great spot for family outings, dates, or unique experiences with friends.
If you want a special ramen experience in Incheon, this is definitely a place to visit.
