About Bakso Rindu Kampung

Bakso Rindu Kampung sits on the second floor of a building on Bogwang ro 59 gil in Yongsan District, in the Itaewon area of Seoul, a short walk from Itaewon Station on Line 6. The building it shares houses a Korean barbecue restaurant and a small fortune telling shop, both useful landmarks for first time visitors navigating the narrow street. Its name translates roughly to missing the home village, a phrase that speaks directly to its role in the neighborhood: Itaewon has long been a gathering point for Seoul's Indonesian community, including migrant workers and students, and the restaurant positions itself as a taste of home for people living far from Indonesia. The specialty is bakso, a meatball soup made from beef or a beef and tapioca blend, served in a clear broth with noodles, tofu, and boiled egg. Other menu items include mie ayam bakso, a chicken noodle dish topped with meatballs; lontong sayur, compressed rice cakes in a vegetable coconut broth; and ayam penyet, smashed fried chicken served with sambal. Meals typically run from about 10,000 to 20,000 Korean won per person, a modest price point aimed at students and workers rather than tourists. The restaurant keeps two phone lines, one staffed in Indonesian and a second, 010 4694 2514, staffed in Korean, reflecting a customer base that includes both Indonesian residents and curious Korean diners. It has built a following mainly through Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok rather than a conventional website, and short videos from Indonesian content creators visiting Seoul have added to its visibility within the diaspora. Reviewers describe it as busy on weekends, with portions large enough to satisfy customers looking for a filling, affordable meal rather than a refined dining experience. As with many small, family run restaurants that rely on social media rather than formal listings, reported opening hours vary across sources, so this listing does not state fixed hours until they can be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
