01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

For diners who came for the crab marinated in soy sauce, the generous roe and its flavourful but not overly strong seasoning left a lasting impression. One reviewer enjoyed mixing rice with seaweed into the crab shell, a serving idea to bear in mind when choosing what to order. The menu lists crab sourced directly from its place of origin, as well as bossam served with lettuce and sauce for 2–3 people. Reviewers also described wrapping the thick slices of pork in vegetables and kimchi. It is an appealing option when choosing a dish to share.

For lunch, the stir-fried squid set meal offers another distinctive choice. One diner described a dish with pronounced seafood flavour and heat, and a taste that went particularly well with rice. Other meal options include spicy bibim noodles and stone-pot bibimbap. A reviewer praised the way the spicy sauce clung to the bibim noodles, which are also a popular lunch choice.

The menu ranges from small plates to substantial mains. In the evening, it also features set courses centred on samgyeopsal or bossam. SEOUL Cafeteria is in Arai, Nakano, and serves lunch and dinner. Whether you are coming for the soy-marinated crab or choosing cold noodles or bibimbap for lunch, there are options to suit what you feel like eating.
