But when I was doing on my research, there were reviews that said that even if your not a fan of Seungri, the ramen is worth trying. On my last travel, I decided to visit Aori Ramen's Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) Design Market branch. Surprisingly the branch was small. I had to wait for few minutes to be seated. The reception...
