Sunae Station pho shop: weekend brisket pho and cream shrimp, Camon

What is Camon Bundang Sunae Station Flagship like?

Camon Bundang Sunae Station Flagship (까몬 분당수내역직영점) is a pho restaurant near Sunae Station in Bundang, and anyone who knows the Bundang pho scene will probably know it. It's so popular at weekday lunch that I went on a weekend on purpose >.<*

How to get to Camon from Sunae Station

Camon is less than a 5-minute walk from Sunae Station, so it was easy to find. Come out toward Rodeo Street, then walk toward Jeongja (not toward Seohyeon Station). Take the back street rather than the Rodeo Street side and you'll spot it right away on the ground floor!.!

Is there a wait?

At lunch peak there's a wait, and there are waiting seats set out in front of the shop. It's such a popular Sunae spot that lunch peak always means a line, so you know it's the real deal haha

Luckily it was a weekend evening, right after the rush had cleared out, so there were seats and we got a table for two. The interior is clean and the mood is nice, and I saw lots of couples there on dates @.@

Every table has a T-order tablet, so you can do everything from ordering to paying in one go, super easy ~.~

Camon menu and prices

Camon's signature dish, the Camon brisket pho, is just ₩11,000, which is really cheap. There are plenty of pho types too, and if you like seafood, I recommend the squid pho! There's also the Camon brisket pho, pork-bone pho, boiled pork (suyuk) pho and more.

There's even a mala pho for fans of mala spice. We ordered two Camon brisket pho, done!.!

They have rice dishes too, so the menu is varied enough that you won't get tired of it even if you come often *_*haha I tried the Camon fried rice last time and remember it being really good.

The specials include bun cha, plus banh mi sandwiches and leng saep +_+

The sides were varied too: crab cha gio (fried spring rolls), shrimp balls, cha gio, cream shrimp and more. It had been a while, so we added one cream shrimp as a side!

Extra noodles are ₩2,000, and coriander and bean sprouts are free. Even with two bowls of brisket pho plus cream shrimp, the total came in under ₩30,000, so the value is honestly great *_*

The self bar and my pickled onion sauce combo

There's a self bar near the entrance where you can grab chili peppers, pickled radish and pickled onions~.~

Every table also has sauces and fish sauce!

This is the pickled onion recipe I always make whenever I come to Camon haha Add a little spicy sauce plus a lot of hoisin sauce to the pickled onions and mix. Eat it like a pickle alongside the pho, and you get sour, spicy and sweet all at once, which I love.

How does the Camon brisket pho taste?

The bowl alone is seriously huge!@.@ The portion is massive too, so even one bowl leaves you totally full.

It's loaded with brisket, plus lots of green onion and bean sprouts! And the noodles are a big portion too haha

The brisket is sliced thin, so it's easy to eat together with the noodles. It's clean-tasting with no gamey smell at all, and it was so good •_•/ If you're a meat lover, I totally recommend the Camon brisket pho!!

The noodles are really soft and easy to slurp up haha And since it's rice noodles, your stomach feels fine afterward.

The broth is rich yet not greasy, with real depth. It's so good you almost want to dump rice in it.

How was the cream shrimp side?

The cream shrimp we ordered as a side at Camon!! Look at that mountain of a plate >.<~

The shrimp are plump+_+ and I liked that the batter was crispy and not thick.
