A menu from pho to fried rice

Let me introduce the varied menu at Kkamon Bundang Jeongja Direct Store, a great pho restaurant in Bundang 😃 Its signature dishes include Kkamon Pho and pork backbone pho, while newer additions include squid pho and mala pho. Beyond the familiar Vietnamese beef pho, there were plenty of fusion options too. From Kkamon fried rice and stir-fried water spinach to side dishes, you can order whatever suits your taste.

Pickled onions and sauces for dipping noodles

Kkamon Pho and water spinach Set A for one

Set A for one: Kkamon Pho + small water spinach / ₩15,000 My husband ordered Set A because he wanted pho in Bundang. It comes with the signature Kkamon Pho and a small serving of water spinach, and the portion was generous enough for one person, making it great for a solo lunch near Jeongja Station 👍

I picked up a bite of the water spinach, nicely stir-fried in oil, and put it in my mouth. The garlic aroma and rich oiliness came through together, and it was crisp and delicious. As for the Kkamon Pho, needless to say, the broth had a deep, meaty richness from all those meat juices. I loved that it was hot yet refreshing, and the rice noodles broke easily and slurped down so lightly—it was delicious 🍜

Sweet-tangy bún chả and chewy meat

Bún chả / ₩14,000 At Kkamon Bundang Jeongja Direct Store, a nice place for lunch near Jeongja Station, I ordered bún chả because I wanted its sweet-tangy flavor. A plate arrived with rice noodles, vegetables, Vietnamese chilies, and lemon, while another bowl was filled with sweet-tangy broth and meat 😉

I dipped the rice noodles in the bún chả sauce, lifted them out, and ate them with the meat. That sweet-tangy savory flavor softly spread through my mouth, and I loved it. The meat in particular was full of juices and wonderfully chewy—it completely won me over 😋 I recommend stopping by Kkamon Bundang Jeongja Direct Store, a Jeongja-dong restaurant known for good pho in Bundang, for a delicious Vietnamese noodle meal 🙌
