Mibundang Myeongji Branch is a pho spot that started from the original branch in Sinchon, and I first tasted it in Bundang a while back and never forgot the flavor. When I heard it had landed in Myeongji too, I went to check it out — here's my review of Mibundang Myeongji Branch, a Myeongji favorite.

There are spoons and napkins in a drawer under the table, and hoisin sauce, chili sauce, and hot sauce on a shelf overhead so you can season to taste — really nice.

As soon as I sat down, water and banchan (side dishes) arrived. Heart pounding with anticipation while waiting for the pho, I brushed up on how to enjoy Mibundang properly.

## How the brisket pho and brisket-and-flank pho taste

The brisket pho features tender brisket alone on top of a rich broth. Such a generous meat topping! I was surprised at how much there was — you could barely see the noodles underneath.

Wrapping soft brisket in the tender noodles along with crunchy bean sprouts was genuinely delicious. Mixing hot sauce and hoisin sauce in a 4:1 ratio and eating it with onion gave it a whole different flavor.

The brisket-and-flank pho is a rich-broth pho topped with both tender brisket and flank.

The nuttiness of the brisket and the clean flavor of the flank came together in perfect balance — I kept slurping away and finished a hearty bowl of pho. It tasted similar to what I had in Hanoi, Vietnam, yet the deep, rich broth felt tailored perfectly to Korean palates. 👍

### Adding cilantro and free noodle refills

The one thing pho can't do without — cilantro! I asked the staff and had it added straight into my bowl.

With any single-serving meal order, noodles, bean sprouts, and broth all get free refills!!! Adding a swirl of Mibundang's hot sauce to the noodles gave it a spicy kick that was great for curing a hangover.

## Assorted appetizer platter, 8,500 won for 5 kinds

The assorted appetizer platter lets you enjoy all of Mibundang's side dishes at once.

![Sweet potato spring rolls and scallop spring rolls](https://img.superchart.com/images/mibundang-myeongji-lunch-pho/mibundang-myeongji-lunch-pho-23-11isq-966.webp)

Sweet potato spring rolls & scallop spring rolls. The sweet potato spring rolls are packed with sweet mousse, and the scallop spring rolls are crispy. One bite and the crispy-outside, tender-inside texture made them a perfect pairing with Mibundang's pho.

Wedding siu mai & potato-wrapped shrimp. Bite-sized wedding siu mai and plump shrimp wrapped in crispy fried potato. The crunchy fried coating went perfectly with the pho.

![Crispy fried buffalo wings](https://img.superchart.com/images/mibundang-myeongji-lunch-pho/mibundang-myeongji-lunch-pho-24-q31i0-966.webp)

The buffalo wings were fried golden and crispy, with a salty flavor that whetted the appetite and paired well with the pho.
