Reservations can be made on a first-come, first-served basis by selecting the time (12 PM, 2 PM, 4 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM) and number of people (2 or 4) on the Hong Shin-ae Salt Instagram. A limited number of seats will also be available on-site for those without reservations.


The district office will distribute parking tickets so that pop-up restaurant users can use the Sinchon Station parking lot (floors 3 to 5) free of charge on the day.


Lee Seong-heon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “We expect that the pop-up restaurant inviting a star chef will raise awareness of the Ewha shopping district and invigorate surrounding stores.” The district plans to continue such star chef events.



Seodaemun-gu is making various efforts to revitalize the Ewha area shopping district, including lifting business restrictions in front of Ewha, securing shared parking spaces at the Ewha Womans University affiliated parking lot on weekends, issuing special Sinchon Ewha Love gift certificates, and providing special unsecured guarantees for small business owners.
