The writer, who has travelled to Vietnam more than 10 times, had brisket pho here with a coworker at lunch and asked the staff for a side of cilantro to pile on top. The broth was clean enough to finish the whole bowl even on a day with no appetite, and the bar-table layout at Mibundang suits solo diners too. ## Good to know - **Location**: 141, 1F, Sales Facility Building, 41 Myeongji-gukje 2-ro, Gangseo-gu, Busan - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00, break 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 14:30 and 20:30 - **Parking**: Underground parking, 1 hour free on exit (no parking registration needed) - **How to order**: Order and pay at the kiosk by the entrance before going in - **What we ordered**: Brisket pho (marked GOOD on the menu) - **Menu BEST pick**: Brisket and beef tendon pho - **Seating**: Bar tables, with a drawer of cutlery and sauce dishes under each seat - **Event**: 2 pieces of shrimp roll for writing a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* I love pho enough to have visited Vietnam more than 10 times, and even though it hasn't been a month since I got back from Nha Trang, I was already missing that deep, rich broth. ![A bowl of brisket pho at Mibundang Myeongji Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch-01-phs8k-1200.webp) Then, while trying to figure out where to eat lunch in Myeongji with my coworkers, we ended up at Mibundang Myeongji Branch, already a well-known Myeongji favorite! ![View of Mibundang Myeongji Branch in Myeongji International City](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch-02-ia3ys-966.webp) For anyone missing the real taste of Vietnam, I'll walk you through everything — location, parking, menu, and an honest review. ## Where is Mibundang Myeongji Branch, and what about parking and hours?

I've had no appetite lately while on Mounjaro, but I still finished the whole bowl. My coworker, who normally eats very little, finished her whole bowl too! ![Noodles and broth of the brisket pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch-15-4zuz4-966.webp) ![Brisket pho piled high with cilantro](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch-16-va6va-966.webp) ✅ Cilantro combo — If you ask staff for cilantro, they'll bring out a generous helping of fresh cilantro. You know how piling it on top of the noodles makes that bright cilantro aroma spread and takes the whole bowl to another level, right?! ✅ Spicy sauce tip — Drizzling one loop of Mibundang's special hot sauce over the noodles adds a sharp, spicy kick! If you love spice, going around twice sounds like a great idea too. ![Pho drizzled with hot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch-17-50ox1-966.webp) ## Receipt review freebie and is Mibundang Myeongji Branch worth it? ![Sign for the Naver receipt review event inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch/myeongji-rice-noodles-mibundang-cilantro-lunch-18-dxpzu-966.webp) While eating, I noticed they're running a Naver receipt review event!
