Tips
- Kakao Map (updated September 2026) and a September 2026 blog agree on 08:00–22:00 daily. Check a map app for the day before you go.
- The restrooms are on the 2nd floor of the building (four posts from 2022–2024 say the same), and a 2025 post says they are separate for men and women. No source says whether the building has a lift or whether the entrance has a step. On parking, a 2024 post says parking is available, a 2025 post says you can park at Hangang Shopping Center and a 2023 post mentions a public car park or a surface lot beside the building, but another 2025 post says parking is not available. Fees, and whether any of it is free, are unconfirmed. There is a paediatric clinic on the 2nd floor of the same building.
Yongsan · Places
Dohwa Apartment Hangang-ro
도화아파트먼트 한강로A dessert and bakery cafe about six to seven minutes on foot from Yongsan Station Exit 1, open from 09:00 every day. Large tables are spread through the building, Kakao Map lists group seating, and blogs mention a separate space on the ground floor that suits a group. On weekdays a meeting room on the 3rd floor can be rented for a fee. The 2nd and 3rd floors are reached only by stairs, and the restrooms are on the 2nd floor.
Food Exchange, Seoul Dragon City
푸드익스체인지A hotel buffet on the 2nd floor of the Novotel and Novotel Suites at Seoul Dragon City, about 120 m from Yongsan Station Exit 3. Per the official site, breakfast runs 06:30–10:00 on weekdays and 06:30–10:30 on weekends and public holidays. Breakfast is ₩70,000 for adults and ₩35,000 for children (official site), the priciest breakfast around Yongsan Station. It is the option for a slower sit-down meal rather than a quick bite in the station.
Hanuga Handmade Bunsik, Yongsan I'Park Mall
한우가수제분식 용산아이파크몰점A dumpling and snack restaurant inside the 3rd-floor waiting hall of Yongsan Station, open 06:00–22:00 every day, which makes it one of the earliest sit-down meals in the station. Dumpling ramyeon is ₩6,500, beef-bone rice-cake and dumpling soup ₩11,000, and an assorted plate of 7 dumplings ₩10,000. A review mentions a bar counter for solo diners, tables for two and four, and self-service side dishes. Kakao Map, Naver and an August 2026 blog all give the same hours.
Jeonju Hyundaeok, Yongsan I'Park Mall
전주현대옥 용산역아이파크몰점A kongnamul gukbap (bean-sprout soup with rice) chain restaurant on the 4th-floor food court (Tasty Park) of I'Park Mall, the Yongsan Station building. It opens at 09:00 every day, so it is not for an early start, but it works for a late breakfast or before a mid-morning train. Both the warmed-in-broth and the boiled styles of bean-sprout soup are ₩9,000 (Kakao Map menu).
