On a return dinner visit with her pho-loving husband, the blogger shared brisket, flank and tendon pho, a spicy teppan bulgogi set, a couple cha gio (Vietnamese fried spring roll) set and a cola, and both left full for ₩38,000. With its rich brown broth and cheese-topped spicy bulgogi, Wolmidang Gwangju Chonnam National University Branch is again worth a visit whenever you crave a hot bowl of soup. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor of the Megabox building, 62 Uchi-ro (Jungheung-dong), Buk-gu, Gwangju, next to a café - **Hours**: 11:00–20:45 (break time 15:00–17:00) - **Parking**: 1 hour free at the Megabox parking lot; the nearby Buk-gu Office Hyojuk public parking lot is also available - **Seating**: Tables for 2, 4 and 6 - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at the table - **Brisket, flank and tendon pho**: ₩13,000 - **Spicy teppan bulgogi set**: ₩15,500 (₩500 more than the soy sauce version) - **Couple cha gio set**: ₩7,500 (2 each of menbosha shrimp toast, sweet potato cha gio and shrimp cha gio) - **Cola**: ₩2,000 - **Total for two**: ₩38,000 - **Price reference**: ₩38,000 ≈ $28.5 · ₩13,000 ≈ $9.7 · ₩15,500 ≈ $11.5 (2026-10-12) *as written by the visitor on Oct 10, 2026* ## Where is Wolmidang Gwangju Chonnam National University Branch, and where do you park? Wolmidang Gwangju Chonnam National University Branch (월미당) is at 62 Uchi-ro, Jungheung-dong, Buk-gu, Gwangju, on the first floor of the Megabox building at the back gate of Chonnam National University, next to a café. It is open 11:00–20:45 with a break from 15:00 to 17:00, and I hear the Megabox parking lot covers 1 hour. ![Main photo of Wolmidang Gwangju Chonnam National University Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-01-1fgb2-1200.webp) My husband loves pho and we eat it fairly often, so we headed to Wolmidang, a Chonnam National University back gate favorite, for dinner. You can use the Megabox outdoor parking lot, but since it was evening we parked at the Hyojuk public parking lot by Buk-gu Office (super close). On weekends, and on weekdays after 7 pm, parking is free, so you can eat at a relaxed pace!!! ![Wolmidang storefront on the first floor of the Megabox building](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-02-1g5d6-900.webp) ## Wolmidang atmosphere and seating The tables at Wolmidang are for 2, 4 or 6 people, so it works for eating alone or with friends. It opened a while ago and has plenty of regulars, so I snapped these photos in the gaps when the tables were empty. For the restroom you use the building's shared one. The hall was busy, but there were so many delivery orders too 😆 Food comes out fast and the value is great! I think a lot of the customers are Chonnam National University students and people from the nearby apartments. ![Hall table seating at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-03-10hfd-900.webp) ![Inside Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-04-1kqf7-900.webp) ![Interior space of Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-05-3h0mt-900.webp) ## How to order at Wolmidang and the basic setup You order on the tablet at your table, and each table has sauces ready. Bowls and pickled onions are brought out for the number of people. We didn't add cilantro, but the male students at the next table did 🤣 ![Table sauces and basic setup at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-06-13vma-900.webp) ![Tablet ordering menu screen at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-07-1jgma-900.webp) ![Pickled onions and basic bowls at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-08-1jst8-900.webp) ## Dinner for two for ₩38,000: what did we order? - Beef brisket and tendon pho ₩13,000 - Spicy teppan bulgogi set ₩15,500 - Cha gio couple set ₩7,500 - Cola ₩2,000 - Total ₩38,000 ![Dinner spread for two at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-09-1q15n-900.webp) ![Table with pho, teppan bulgogi and cha gio](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-10-qo616-900.webp) Wow! Doesn't it look so good? If you order like this at Wolmidang, it's a nice amount for two people to get comfortably full. ## Beef brisket and tendon pho: how was the tendon? Wolmidang's beef brisket and tendon pho (₩13,000) has plenty of meat and a rich, full-bodied broth, so I recommend it to meat lovers ❤️ I've had lots of brisket pho, but tendon… I ordered with half worry, half curiosity, and my husband actually said the tendon was delicious and ate happily. I thought about adding bean sprouts, but the default portion was big, so I skipped it. There was a lot of meat and noodles, but the broth was so good that I slurped down the whole bowl in one go. The broth was brown but not salty. I hear that charring (?) the vegetables when making the stock gives a brown color, so Wolmidang probably makes it that way. ![A bowl of Wolmidang beef brisket and tendon pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-11-j9sqs-900.webp) ![Meat topping on the brisket and tendon pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-12-d924k-900.webp) ![Noodles and brown broth of the brisket and tendon pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-13-fv84f-900.webp) ![Eating the brisket and tendon pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-14-3g4ke-900.webp) ## Spicy teppan bulgogi set: how is it different from the soy-sauce version? ![Wolmidang spicy teppan bulgogi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-15-1bzve-799.webp) With Wolmidang's teppan bulgogi set you can choose soy-sauce or spicy bulgogi, and the spicy one costs ₩500 more (₩15,500). The rice options are only a rice bowl or a triangle rice ball set. The spicy version was nicely spicy with fantastic savory depth. The sizzling cheese was the charm of this dish, and I doubt anyone dislikes cheese! ![Spicy teppan bulgogi topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-16-jh1xm-900.webp) I loved the cheese and the rice was good, but it would be even better if soup came with it?! Maybe there isn't any because most people order pho anyway. Next time I want to try the soy bulgogi. If you can't handle spicy food, go for the soy-sauce flavor!!! ![Spicy teppan bulgogi with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-17-16p4n-900.webp) ## Cha gio couple set: what's in it and the sauces ![A plate of Wolmidang cha gio couple set](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-18-6wor6-861.webp) ![Menbosha, sweet potato cha gio and shrimp cha gio](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-19-wniox-900.webp) Wolmidang's cha gio couple set (₩7,500) (cha gio: Vietnamese fried spring rolls) comes with 2 each of menbosha (shrimp toast), sweet potato cha gio and shrimp cha gio. Just two mains felt a little short, so we ordered a side too, haha. ![Cha gio set with chili sauce and peanut sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-20-13edj-808.webp) They were fried crispy and come with chili sauce and peanut sauce, so you can eat them to your taste. I thought they were tasty even without any sauce. ![Crispy fried cha gio at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-21-xxr0p-900.webp) ![Table during dinner at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-22-pwrs5-900.webp) ![Pho and side dishes at Wolmidang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-23-14tqq-900.webp) ![Closing photo of the meal at Wolmidang Gwangju Chonnam National University Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho/wolmidang-chonnam-couple-dinner-pho-24-zea3y-900.webp) ## Was the return visit still satisfying?
