Eight Years Pangyo is a Western-style brunch restaurant near Pangyo Station in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, serving brunch plates, pasta, salads and drinks. On a weekend visit, two sisters shared a chicken brunch plate, the Eight Years shrimp garlic oil pasta, an iced americano and an iced tea on the outdoor terrace. Parking in front of Eight Years Pangyo is limited to a few spots, but the restaurant supports the nearby public parking lot, making it a solid choice for brunch on a sunny weekend.

The writer drove over with a friend, grabbed the single parking space in front of the shop, and ordered the tteokbokki set for two at medium spice with butter garlic fries, squid fritters and fried rice. Chewy jjolmyeon noodles, two eggs and fried mandu come in the base set, and the fried rice at the end made it a genuinely filling meal.
