Omiyao Bento & Noodle + Volks







During my previous visit to this particular restaurant (June, 2011), I forgot its name and location. Duh! Well, today I have all that information. Plus, I found an easier way to go to Volks (April, 2011), too. With these instructions, there's no more need to ask for directions when you exit the subway. It's a straight run, more or less.

First off, the restaurant. It's name is "Omiyao". The "O" is a stylized cat face (see photo) and the name sounds like a cat's "meow". LOL It's easy to get to, too.

From exit number 9 of Hongik University subway station, walk straight ahead for about 2 to 3 minutes until you get to the first set of lights. Cross those lights. Make an immediate left and walk to the third side street on your right. You'll also pass a small alleyway in this short walk, too. Plus, another set of lights. That third side street is only about a minute after your original left. So, don't think it's far away and miss it. Also, remember that side streets sometimes look like alleyways here, too. But that third side street is unmistakable; it's really big and wide with lots of people on it. Take a right turn on it and walk along the continuously widening street. About a minute later you will see Omiyao to your left (see photos).

If you want to go to Volks, then continue to walk pass Omiyao and keep walking for about 5 more minutes. The street continues to widen as you walk. Volks will then be on your left as well. It's inside the circular building on the 3rd floor. Signage is small and hard to make out. Take a look at the photos and you won't miss it. That's the only round building there. That's it! You're there.

Enjoy!
