5pm opening rush, full in 6 minutes: pho at Dongtan Station, Mibundang
Mibundang Dongtan Station Branch is a pho restaurant on the first floor of the Richian commercial building right in front of Dongtan Station in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi. Arriving just six minutes after the 5pm opening, every seat was already taken, and brisket pho (10,000 won) and brisket-tendon pho (13,000 won) were eaten right in front of the open kitchen. With free refills on noodles and sprouts plus palm-sized meat toppings, this is a great spot for big eaters.
