Find Your Ramen Style: 4 Michelin Bib Gourmand Spots in Seoul
Choosing between paitan, shio and creative ramen by broth and toppings
Even within the same bowl, ramen leaves a different impression depending on the richness of the broth, the tare, the aromatic oil and the toppings. From the 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand selection, we picked four ramen restaurants in Mapo-gu and introduce the direction each one takes.
They are Oreno Ramen with its chicken paitan, Damtaek with its shio ramen, Sarukame with its creative menu, and Nishi Ramen, known for its combinations of toppings and oils. Rather than deciding on one "right" flavor, start with whichever broth you're craving right now.

Oreno Ramen Hapjeong Main Branch
Oreno Ramen (오레노 라멘)
Oreno Ramen is a 2026 Bib Gourmand restaurant serving paitan-style broth, a creamy white stock made from chicken. Before serving, the broth is blended again to add a froth, and it comes with house-made noodles for a smooth harmony of broth and noodles.
It suits days when you're craving ramen with a soft, savory broth rather than a clear one. Enjoy the pairing of broth and noodles with toppings such as chicken and egg. The location featured here is the Hapjeong main store on Dongmak-ro 8-gil.

Damtaek
Damtaek (담택)
Damtaek is a 2026 Bib Gourmand restaurant in an alley near Hapjeong Station, serving shio ramen and its variations. In a modest space accented with vintage props, you can enjoy a clean broth and its shifting aromas.
Shio ramen, seasoned with a salt-based tare, is a great choice for appreciating the aroma and seasoning of a clear broth. You can also compare the other shio-based dishes on the menu to see which ingredients each one uses to change things up.

Sarukame is a 2026 Bib Gourmand restaurant where chef Hiroto Honma carries on the existing recipes while also developing new dishes. While keeping the recipes he inherited, he creates limited menus drawing on restaurant experience built up in several cities.
Part of the fun is exploring both the core menu that preserves the inherited flavors and the creative dishes offered seasonally. If you're curious about the limited menu, check what's available on the day you visit.

Nishimuramen
Nishi Ramen (니시무라멘)
Nishi Ramen is a 2026 Bib Gourmand restaurant where you can try the ramen of chef Takahito Nishimura in Seoul. It is characterized by layering toppings, sauces and oils, making use of ingredients such as seaweed (gim) oil and Cheongyang chili peppers.
Choose it if you're interested not only in the broth but in how the accompanying ingredients change the flavor. There's also a rice dish in which cheese and ramen broth are added to pot rice (sotbap), so you can extend your meal after finishing the noodles.
