## In short

Mibundang Myeongji Branch is a Vietnamese pho restaurant in the The Sharp Myeongji First World Complex 3 shopping arcade in Myeongji International City, Gangseo-gu, Busan. A couple visited with their baby and shared chadolbagi pho (thin-sliced brisket), yangji pho (lean brisket) and a mixed fried appetizer platter, then took a full plate of free noodle and bean sprout refills. Even when the baby cried and one of them stepped outside, the owner kept checking in, so the quiet dining room still felt easy for a family meal.

Here's the parking info.

## Mibundang's storefront, kiosk ordering and menu prices

I visited Mibundang Myeongji Branch, known around Myeongji as a Vietnamese pho spot 🙌🏻

You order at the kiosk outside before going in.

Next to the kiosk there's a menu board.

The most basic brisket pho is ₩10,000 and the most expensive, beef tendon pho, is ₩14,000, so it wasn't a big price burden 👏🏻

![Sign showing a Naver rating of 4.89](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-06-d5th4-900.webp)

It said the Naver rating was 4.89, and checking now it's gone up even more, to 4.9. A good rating usually has a reason, right? ☺️

Outside there was a water jug, and my partner thought it might be pho broth and tried it — turns out it was cold lemon water haha 😅 Since there's often a wait at lunchtime, it seemed like water provided out of consideration for waiting customers haha.

## Inside Mibundang: bar seating and an open kitchen

Inside Mibundang Myeongji Branch, the atmosphere was quiet and calm, with people enjoying their pho — most ate silently, savoring the food, and even when talking, kept their voices low. Maybe that's why quite a few people were eating solo.

The inside had bar-style seating, and since it's an open kitchen, you could see the neatly kept kitchen.

![Sticky notes left by customers with supportive messages](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-08-h0bxf-900.webp)

Messages of support keep the owner motivated, and you can also write down anything you found lacking to help them improve — you can express yourself freely on sticky notes.

The air conditioner was on, so blankets were provided for anyone who gets cold.

I thought the use of space was really clever — under the table there were little sauce dishes and utensils, and overhead there were sauce bottles. It would've been easier to understand with a full shot, but I didn't manage to take one ㅠㅠ

## How to season your pho: hoisin and hot sauce at 4:1

There was a small instruction message at the table.

![Instructions at the table on how to enjoy the pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-09-d4ppk-900.webp)

![Instructions on mixing hoisin sauce and hot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-10-ra6oa-829.webp)

There was a guide on how to enjoy the pho best. Following instruction No. 1, I mixed hoisin sauce and hot sauce at a 4:1 ratio, and it was really delicious 😗 It was so good my partner asked for refills of noodles and bean sprouts. Photos are below haha.

✅ There's a receipt review event going on — write a receipt review and you can get 2 pieces of the off-menu hidden item, shrimp rolls, so give it a try 🙌

![Onions, pickled peppers, and kkakdugi served by default](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-12-1yqfh-900.webp)

As soon as you sit down, they give you water along with onions, pickled peppers, and kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi).

## How the chadolbagi pho, yangji pho and appetizer platter taste

![Pho and appetizers placed at the bar seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-13-1fix5-900.webp)

We ordered brisket pho, beef (yangji) pho, and a mixed appetizer platter.

![Two bowls of yangji pho and brisket pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-14-tiut3-900.webp)

![Two bowls of pho placed side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-15-1fcar-900.webp)

On the left is the yangji (beef) pho, on the right is the brisket pho.

![Yangji pho topped with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-16-2zp3n-900.webp)

![Close-up of the meat in the yangji pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-17-1oanl-837.webp)

The yangji in the yangji pho seemed like braised beef — perfect for my palate, since I like clean, light flavors 👍🏻

![Pho topped with brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-18-127j1-858.webp)

![A piece of brisket held up and spread out](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-19-1qt3u-900.webp)

My partner's brisket pho wasn't as fatty as expected either. Spread out a big piece of meat and eat it with the noodles, and before you know it the bowl is empty haha.

![Mixed appetizer platter with buffalo wings, shrimp potato rolls, sweet potato spring rolls, and wedding siu mai](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-20-m4vy0-900.webp)

This is the mixed appetizer platter — one piece of each kind comes out on both sides.

Buffalo wings, shrimp potato rolls, sweet potato spring rolls, and wedding siu mai — my pick was the shrimp potato rolls, my partner's pick was the sweet potato spring rolls haha.

![A piece of an appetizer dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-21-725gr-900.webp)

![Pho mixed with hoisin sauce and hot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-22-uvysl-900.webp)

Following the recommended way to eat it, I mixed in a little hot sauce and hoisin sauce, and thanks to the hoisin sauce it had a savory depth and a different kind of flavor 😗👍🏻 My partner refilled the noodles and bean sprouts.

### How big are the free noodle and bean sprout refills?

![A large plate of refilled noodles and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family/midangbun-myeongji-pho-baby-family-23-13pps-900.webp)

They give you quite a big plate, you know?

Can you see it?! It's basically a whole new plate all over again 🙌🏻 It was so good the refill disappeared instantly too haha.

## Final verdict: the owner's care on a meal out with a baby

Mibundang, right next to Myeongji Dasan Complex 3, is a restaurant well known for its pho. The quiet atmosphere makes it great for eating solo at lunch or for a date 👏🏻👏🏻 With noodles, bean sprouts, and even broth refillable, big eaters will be even more satisfied 👍🏻

And what I liked best was how kind the owner was ☺️ Since we have a baby, we inevitably brought her along, and she cried once in the middle of the meal 😅 So we had to step out once while eating, but the owner kept worrying about us not being able to eat properly and kept asking if we needed anything. I felt so sorry and so grateful 😭😭

I also noticed the owner proactively asking the male customers at the next table, 'You can get a refill — would you like one?' Seeing that, I thought — ah, this is why a place that gives generously can't fail, there's a reason places that do well, do well ☺️ If you want pho in Myeongji, I recommend Mibundang 👍🏻👍🏻
