The spicy beef brisket pho broth tastes more like bun bo hue broth. The regular beef brisket broth was more acidic and less savory. The egg rolls were more like imperial rolls in appearance and lacked something savory like pork, pork and shrimp, or shrimp.

The atmosphere is cozy, every dish is made with care, and it truly feels more like a place of healing than just a restaurant. If you’re in Seogwipo or visiting Jeju, this spot is a must-try. Highly...
Read moreWow wow wow! What a gem. This beautiful restaurant, located in easy walking distance from the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market has been one of the best meals and experience I’ve had in Korea.
The pho was unbelievable! Refreshing and delicious. Not only that, the hospitality and energy of the restaurant was immaculate. Good music on rotation playing across the speakers with music videos to match stylishly displayed via a projector.
