I was looking for somewhere to eat near Chonnam National University and this place let me try pho, cha gio, and rice balls all at once. ## What we ordered at Wolmidang in Yongbong-dong, and what it cost This time we ordered beef brisket pho for 11,000 won, soy-grilled bulgogi with cheese and grilled rice balls for 15,000 won, couple's cha gio for 7,500 won, and a Coca-Cola for 2,000 won. ![Pho and side dishes ordered at Wolmidang Chonnam National University Branch, laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-01-p3slb-966.webp) So it came to 35,500 won total. Just ordering pho on its own is fine too, but ordering sides alongside made it great for sharing a bit of everything between the two of us :) ![A two-person table set with pho and sides together](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-02-9li81-966.webp) ![The table setting at Wolmidang Chonnam National University Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-03-mf70i-966.webp) ## How tablet ordering works at your table Wolmidang, the pho place I found near Chonnam National University, has you order directly from a tablet at your table. It was convenient to look through the menu photos and descriptions at your own pace, and beyond pho there were also good side dishes to pair with it, like cha gio and rice balls. If you're looking for a lunch spot near Chonnam National University or a good Vietnamese pho restaurant in Gwangju, this felt like an easy, low-pressure place to visit. ![Inside Wolmidang Chonnam National University Branch, ordering by tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-04-5el2v-966.webp) ## How to eat Wolmidang's pho at its best There were also instructions on the table for how to enjoy the pho. ![Instructions on the table for how to enjoy the pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-05-1jmgl-966.webp) ![Table guide explaining how to use the bun cha sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-06-155lz-966.webp) ![Explanation of the hot chili sauce and hoisin sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-07-v7d64-966.webp) First, you spoon in about 1-2 spoonfuls of bun cha sauce into the noodles to loosen them up so they don't clump, then eat the noodles with the vegetables and meat, dipping into the bun cha sauce as you like. If you want it spicier, there's hot chili sauce, and if you want something sweet and savory, there's hoisin sauce. ![Sauces prepared on the table for the pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-08-12kpx-966.webp) ![A plate of refilled bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-09-1rqgj-966.webp) I also asked for a refill of bean sprouts partway through and piled them generously onto the pho. Adding the crunchy sprouts made the texture even better alongside the noodles and let me enjoy an even heartier bowl. ![Pho piled high with bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-10-a4ef9-966.webp) ![A bowl of pho made even heartier with extra bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-11-6obxh-966.webp) ## Beef brisket pho, 11,000 won The main dish we ordered was the beef brisket pho. It comes with a rich meat broth, brisket, and finely shredded beef shank, so grabbing the meat and noodles together made for a really filling bowl. ![Beef brisket pho topped with brisket and finely shredded beef shank](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-12-1urx3-1200.webp) Adding more bean sprouts along the way and mixing in the sauces on the table to my taste meant I never got tired of it, even to the last bite. It's a great pho restaurant in Gwangju to visit whenever you're craving warm broth near Chonnam National University. ![A bite of beef brisket pho with noodles and meat lifted together](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-13-7vv7g-966.webp) ![A bite of pho dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-14-r1f0w-966.webp) Mixing in pickled onions along the way and dipping into the prepared sauces let me enjoy a whole different flavor each time. If you like pho and you're around Chonnam National University, this Gwangju pho spot is worth a stop. ![Pho served with pickled onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-15-1fffz-966.webp) ![Finishing off the broth of the beef brisket pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-16-x6s4c-966.webp) ## Soy flame-grilled bulgogi with cheese and grilled rice balls, 15,000 won The soy-grilled bulgogi with cheese and grilled rice balls sounded pretty filling just from the name! It's soy-grilled bulgogi made with Wolmidang's special sauce, paired with 100% natural cheese and grilled rice balls made from domestic rice. ![Soy-grilled bulgogi with cheese and grilled rice balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-17-1nfdi-966.webp) It was a great side to order if pho alone feels like it's not quite enough, and the combo of bulgogi, cheese, and rice balls made for a totally different, hearty experience from the pho. If you're visiting for lunch in Buk-gu, Gwangju and have a big appetite, ordering this kind of side alongside is a great idea. ![Grilled bulgogi rice balls topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-18-d42kz-966.webp) ## Couple's cha gio: sweet potato, shrimp and menbosha, 7,500 won For a side, we also ordered the couple's cha gio. It comes with 2 sweet potato cha gio, 2 shrimp cha gio, and 2 menbosha — 6 pieces total! ![Couple's cha gio with 6 pieces: sweet potato, shrimp, and menbosha](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-19-1699j-966.webp) Instead of just one type, you get to try two of each of the three kinds, which made it a perfect set for the two of us to split, one of each. ![A crispy piece of fried cha gio](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-20-cv6do-966.webp) Adding a crispy side went great with the pho too, and it's a good menu to order alongside if pho alone leaves you wanting a bit more. ## Is Wolmidang good for solo dining near Chonnam National University? Wolmidang Chonnam National University Branch's menu is mostly single-bowl meals, so it's not just good for groups — it's also easy to visit solo for a bowl of pho. Since you order right at your table with a tablet, you don't need to flag down staff. So it seemed like a great choice if you're looking for a solo dining spot near Chonnam National University, or just need a simple but hearty lunch. ![Seating at Wolmidang Chonnam National University Branch, good for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-21-pwlca-966.webp) ![Pho and sides laid out together at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch/wolmidang-jnu-couple-jjajo-tablet-lunch-22-1fyvo-966.webp) ## A filling lunch for two, from pho to the sides This time we tried several dishes together — the beef brisket pho, the soy-grilled bulgogi rice balls, and the couple's cha gio. The pho got even more filling with a bean sprout refill, and the couple's cha gio came with three kinds — sweet potato, shrimp, and menbosha — so it was fun to try a bit of everything.
