Pho and seafood fried rice in Seocho, Seoul: Bangbaedong Ssalguksu
Bangbaedong Ssalguksu is a Vietnamese pho restaurant in Seocho, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Sadang Station and 7 minutes from Isu Station. Two diners ordered mixed pho (12,000 won), spicy beef brisket pho (12,000 won) and seafood fried rice (11,000 won), and found a broth simmered more than 12 hours plus smoky wok-fried rice. Even the lighter eater at the table went back for a second bowl of fried rice, making Bangbaedong Ssalguksu a genuinely good-value meal near Sadang.
