We sample bowls of The Korean Station’s instant ramen noodles with secret sauces to find out if they’re worth the hype in the neighbourhood

If Korean dramas where characters down bowls of ramen don’t induce intense cravings for the flavourful spicy noodles, online videos of Korean convenience store food surely will. So, when we got a whiff of The Korean Station serving a twist on instant ramen at Malad West, we decided to test the waters.
The Korean Station — located at 5D, one of Malad’s own khau gullies, off Link Road at Chincholi Bunder — claims to be the first Korean noodle street stall serving ramen with its own secret sauce. They’re also looking at setting up shop in the middle of Mira Road’s bustling food scene, Borivali and Lokhandwala in the coming months. When we dropped by the nearly month-old space we noticed that they do take time to set up their eight burners while a crowd starts gathering. It would be wise to head there early and place your name and order on the list as soon as they open because it will be a while till you get your food.
