Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch is a newly opened pho place on the first floor of Dongtan Station Richian Shopping Center, open daily from 11:00 to 21:00 with a break time from 15:00 to 17:00. As someone who loves pho, I got some great news — Mibundang, a pho spot I used to love, opened a branch at Dongtan Station! There used to be one near my old office and I ate there all the time, so when I heard one opened at Dongtan Station too, my husband and I rushed over right away haha. - 🏠 경기 화성시 동탄구 동탄대로 495 동탄역리치안상가 1층 109호 - ⏰ Daily 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–17:00) - 🚘 Parking available (1 hour free in the shopping center lot; up to 1.5 hours if there's a wait) - ✅ Takeout available, local currency accepted ![Exterior of Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch on the first floor of Dongtan Station Richian Shopping Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-02-1uovs-m-966.webp) Living up to its reputation as a newly opened Dongtan Station hotspot, there was already a line out front when we arrived. ![A line of waiting customers outside Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-03-cj4s7-966.webp) Mibundang has a culture of quiet dining. So instead of a chatty, noisy vibe, everyone focuses quietly on their food! It might feel a little unfamiliar for first-time visitors, but personally I think this atmosphere is part of Mibundang's charm. It's totally fine to visit alone, and solo diners really can enjoy their meal without feeling awkward. ![The quiet dining atmosphere inside Mibundang](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-04-14wwo-966.webp) ## How to order: kiosk pre-ordering at Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch At Mibundang Dongtan Station, you can't just wait in front of the store — you order first from the kiosk outside, then wait.

There's a bench out front so it's comfortable to sit and wait, and lately the sunset has been so pretty that my husband and I chatted while watching the sky, and the waiting time flew by haha! ## Inside Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch: bar seats and bag hooks ![Bar-table seating at Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-07-hewkc-966.webp) ![View of the bar seating inside Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-08-uwr8f-966.webp) ![Interior with bag hooks behind the seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-09-1ipdy-966.webp) ![A Mibundang table with a sauce bottle on it](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-10-va6v6-m-966.webp) Seating at Mibundang Dongtan Station is bar-table style, and you can hang your bag behind your seat, so it doesn't take up aisle space and you can eat comfortably. Each seat had small thoughtful touches too. If you look on the table, there's a sauce bottle~ ![Hair ties and a mask hanger prepared at each seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-11-1h7v4-966.webp) ![Chopsticks neatly arranged in the seat drawer](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-12-cwk33-966.webp) There were hair ties and a mask hanger prepared, and the drawer at each seat had chopsticks neatly arranged. Pickled onions, danmuji (pickled radish), pickled chili, small plates, chopstick rests, and water are set on the bar in front of your seat. If you run low on side dishes or water while eating, just place it on the bar and mention it and they'll refill it right away haha. ## Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch menu and prices ![A generously portioned bowl of pho at Mibundang](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-13-qud5x-966.webp) Finally, the pho arrived, generously portioned!! My husband ordered the most basic menu item, the brisket pho (₩10,000). At Mibundang, the broth base is the same for every pho, so you just choose based on which meat you like. Personally, out of all the meats, brisket is my favorite — the softest and most savory haha. ![A bowl of brisket pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-14-4bbps-966.webp) I usually like my pho with a variety of meats, so I ordered the brisket, point, tendon pho (₩13,000). Brisket, point cut, and chewy tendon — it's all evenly mixed in. Being able to try different cuts, I was glad I ordered the three-meat pho haha. ![A bowl of brisket, point, and tendon pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-15-jg9dj-966.webp) ![Pho topped with three different cuts of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-16-1os9w-966.webp) ### Asking for cilantro, plus free broth, bean sprout and noodle refills At Mibundang, they'll give you cilantro if you ask separately. If you love cilantro, be sure to request it and load it on! And here's the really great thing about Mibundang — broth, bean sprout, and noodle refills are free haha! For big eaters who love pho, you get a bowl already loaded with meat, and you can still add more noodles or broth on top, so it's really good value. ![Close-up of noodles and bean sprouts in the pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-17-4qsqn-966.webp) ![A piece of meat lifted with chopsticks from the pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-18-8cuku-966.webp) ![Chewy tendon visible in the pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-19-1dmfe-966.webp) The brisket was soft and savory, and the point cut was clean-tasting with a deep meaty flavor. The tendon especially had a soft yet chewy texture, so if you love tendon, I highly recommend it!! ![A bowl of Mibundang's rich pho broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-20-1s15c-966.webp) ### The broth, and a portion 1.5 times bigger than other Mibundang branches Mibundang's pho is known for its rich broth — clean but subtly deep! The broth is rich but never heavy or thick, the kind you keep spooning up, so I devoured it haha. So good~~ And Mibundang Dongtan Station seems to give about 1.5 times more than other branches... haha. They normally offer free noodle refills, but the initial portion was already so generous that personally I didn't even need to refill haha. ![A generously portioned bowl of pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-21-1tu0c-966.webp) ### Buffalo wings on the side, 3,500 won We also ordered buffalo wings! Pho alone can feel a little plain, but pairing it with spicy wings was a great combo. Eating the slightly spicy buffalo wings really perked up the appetite :) ![Buffalo wings ordered as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-22-a84zi-966.webp) They were fried nice and crispy, so if you want to add one side dish, this is a good light option to pair with your meal. ![A plate of crispy fried buffalo wings](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-23-wlgxa-966.webp) On the way out, they even had mouthwash and candy ready, a thoughtful touch all the way to the end. ![Mouthwash and candy prepared at the exit](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait/midangbang-dongtan-station-pho-bench-wait-24-jkqsc-966.webp) ## Is Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch good for a solo meal?
