Godiva Mochi Seoul 2026: How to Book on CatchTable at 10am

Checked against 6 Korean sources on Nov 8, 2026 Published: Nov 7, 2026

The short answer: book at 10:00 on CatchTable, four slots a day

Godiva's chocolate mochi (고디바 모찌) is only sold at one shop: GODIVA Lotte World Mall on B1 of Lotte World Mall (롯데월드몰) in Jamsil (잠실). It launched on Sep 10, 2026, when the store opened, and quickly turned into an early-morning queue that Korean media nicknamed the "rice-cake open run."

On Oct 28, Godiva Korea announced a new system. From Oct 29, only people with a same-day CatchTable booking can buy. Lining up at the door no longer works.

What foreign visitors should know

CatchTable has a global version for foreign travelers. According to Maeil Business News, you sign up with an email address and don't need a Korean phone number, and the app runs in 20 languages including English.

The catch: none of our sources confirm whether the Godiva mochi slots can be booked from the global app or with a foreign phone number. Bookings are limited to one person per phone number, and confirmations are sent by KakaoTalk (카카오톡). Install the app before your trip, sign up, and search "고디바 롯데월드몰점" to check that the store page shows up. That way you aren't figuring it out at 9:59.

If your phone is still on your home time zone, double-check the clock. Booking opens at 10:00 Korea time, and the slots start only 30 minutes later, so it works best on a morning you plan to spend in Jamsil.

Booking to pickup, step by step

1. The day before, install CatchTable and log in
2. At 10:00, open "고디바 롯데월드몰점" and tap any open slot (party of 1)
3. Go to the store on B1 of Lotte World Mall at your slot time and show the booking screen
4. Order and pay in arrival order, then collect your mochi

A booking doesn't mean you walk straight to the counter. Godiva says that when a slot is crowded, you may wait 30 minutes to an hour to order, so leave slack before your next plan.

Slots are gone in seconds

A Korean blogger who tried on Oct 29 was ready at 9:59, got in right at 10:00, and still lost every slot in about 10 to 20 seconds while switching between times. If you see an open slot, tap it. Don't shop around.

The same blogger saw a 10:30 slot reappear about a minute later after someone cancelled, so refresh once or twice before giving up. Another blogger failed on Thursday and Friday and got a slot on Saturday.

Finding the store and the right line

The shop is on B1. A blogger who picked up there says the quickest way down is the escalator in front of H&M on the ground floor.

There are two lines outside the shop, and the one for booked customers was on the left. Staff said they would call names, but in practice nobody was called and pickup just started from the line, so wait in front of the shop at your time.

Menu and prices

There are three types by filling, each in several chocolate and fruit combinations. Prices below were recorded in store from late September to October 2026.

Fresh fruit is the best seller. Everything is handmade in a fixed daily batch, so some flavors sell out early even if you have a booking. Have a second and third choice ready.

Taking them back to your hotel

Gelato mochi don't handle temperature changes well, so eat them right away. Fresh fruit mochi shouldn't sit at room temperature for long either. For a long trip back, Korean bloggers say praline is the safe pick.

Each one is big and very chewy, hard to cut even with a knife. The chocolate filling is rich and very sweet; one blogger split them in half and paired them with an iced americano. After a day in the fridge, the surface turned a little damp.

How it worked before Oct 29

Before booking started, the shop sold 150 a day. People lined up outside Gate 9 on the ground floor of Lotte World Mall, near Jamsil Station Exit 10, and registered for a number from 8:00. A news report from Oct 15 found that the person who got number 150 had arrived at 4:30 a.m. Older posts that say "just line up early" are out of date.

One blogger notes that parking at the mall is not available and suggests a nearby public lot instead. For visitors, the subway is simpler.

If you're spending a morning in Jamsil anyway, the 10:00 booking is worth a try. While you're there, see the Lotte World Mall Christmas market booking guide. Sweet tooth still unsatisfied? The Seoul Cafe Show is another stop for desserts this month.
