Food: 4/5
It's…read moreinstant ramen, so set your expectations accordingly. That said, there were SO MANY options to choose from, and there's also a large selection of fresh toppings to add so you can make the dish your own. I also loved all the Asian snacks and drinks that I've always wanted to try. They have onigiri, tons of ades and sodas, fruit ice cream, etc.. So yes, the main course is marked up instant ramen, but on the other hand, the selection is super fun to choose from, and there's something new for everyone to try!
Service: 5/5
The employees were helpful with giving us information about their selections and the cooking process.

This category is where Hangang Ramen really shines. As soon as you walk in, you see the wall of ramen options, incredibly well-stocked and organized; there are ramen-cup-shaped tables and chairs, a line of clean ramen-making machines, and another wall of colorful fruit teas and other drinks. They've got TV's playing K-Pop and J-Pop, ramen mukbang videos, and other fitting content. It's super fun, exciting, and enjoyable. My wife and I also both remarked at how clean everything was, especially considering the open-use ramen machines.
Overall, this place is whimsical, exciting, and fun. The ramen is pretty simple and humble, but while it IS marked up, I wouldn't consider it overpriced; still only a few bucks per serving. The variety of exotic flavors and foreign products is one of my favorite parts! You can try something new! I hope to go back with my wife and get something different next time!
