Bora-dong pho restaurant, Yongin: hangover broth and pork pho, Cảm Ơn

What is Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora?

Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora is a newly opened pho restaurant in Bora-dong, Yongin, near the Korean Folk Village. As soon as I heard Cảm Ơn had opened in Bora-dong, I went straight over! I booked a weekend lunch, and the owner was so kind and the pho was delicious, so I was really satisfied haha. The pho is totally my style, so I'll probably be going often.

Is parking easy at Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora?

You can park in front of the building, and when it's full, you can park in front of Bora Hand Car Wash across the road. I parked there and walked over; you just cross the street, so parking was very easy. It's also nice that you can walk here from the Korean Folk Village area.

Cảm Ơn is a pho restaurant on the 2nd floor of a Bora-dong building. It also sells banh xeo (crispy Vietnamese pancake) and fried rice dishes, so we decided to try other things next time haha. We went on a weekend, and quite a few families were out for a meal.

No break time and a spacious room: good for groups and families?

Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora has no break time, so you can eat here even at 2 or 3 p.m. The place is big, so it seems perfect for a group dinner or a lunch get-together.

With its generous pho, it seems like something everyone from kids to grandparents would like, and there's a kids' pho on the menu too, so it's good to visit with children.

What we ordered at Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora

I had the Cảm Ơn pho, my husband chose the boiled pork pho, and we added a small egg fried rice as a side. There are lots of pho types, so choosing was half the fun, and both bowls came with plenty of meat and noodles. Loved it!

The place is really spacious, so it works for group gatherings and is a good Bora-dong spot for a family meal. Both the staff and the owner were friendly, and as an opening event they give you a ₩2,000 coupon to use on your next visit.

Free jasmine tea and table ordering

Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora serves chilled jasmine tea by default! It smelled lovely and seemed to whet the appetite before the meal haha.

You order easily from your seat with a table-ordering device. You can even pay at the table, which is so convenient, and you can split the bill too, so I guess lots of office workers come for lunch.

Pickled onions and the self-serve bar

The pickled onions that come by default were tasty too, so I tossed them in the sauce and put them on top of the pho. The self-serve bar has pickled radish as well, so grab some if you want it! We only took extra small plates haha.

How do the Cảm Ơn pho and boiled pork pho taste?

Cảm Ơn pho

The Cảm Ơn pho was topped with generous meat, which I loved. The broth was clean and there were lots of noodles, so one bowl left me super full. My husband said it's great as a hangover soup haha.

Boiled pork pho (suyuk pho)

The boiled pork pho had thick, tender meat and was delicious. Recommended for boiled pork lovers! The food came out fast at Cảm Ơn in Bora-dong, and at just the right temperature to dig right in haha.

There are two sauces at each table, so it was nice for mixing in the noodles. I've been totally into pho lately, and this might be the best pho in Bora-dong!

The pho here is hearty enough that one adult man will be full finishing a bowl! It's good as a hangover meal, and with delivery available, it seems like a popular delivery spot too :)

The broth was rich, with a deep flavor that really came through. Quite a few people seemed to be stopping by after a trip to the Korean Folk Village. Parking is easy, and the place is big and pleasant. Love it!!

The meat is cooked through until tender, so it's good for eating with kids, and there were surprisingly many bean sprouts, which suited me. I love bean sprouts in my pho!

Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora was also running a receipt review event: write a Naver receipt review and you get shrimp balls! Next time I'll join the review event too.

Is Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora good for kids?

Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora has baby chairs and a kids' pho on the menu, so it's a good Bora-dong restaurant to visit with a baby. And the broth really is perfect as a hangover soup! The next table was eating bone pho, and watching them gnaw on the bones made me want to try the beef short rib pho (랭쌥) next time~

Small egg fried rice: a ₩4,000 side worth adding

The small egg fried rice at Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora is ₩4,000, and it was fluffy and loose, so my husband and I shared it. It was a surprisingly nice treat, and at ₩4,000 it seems fine as a kids' dish too.

The food came out quickly, and since it opened recently, this Bora-dong restaurant is clean and pleasant!! If you like pho, definitely try Cảm Ơn Yongin Bora haha.
