| never had bun bo hue. i'm sure i'd like it. tons of vietnamese back home in san diego, so the pho was always great and cheap. it's a little pricier here but some places make passable pho. i'm lucky enough to have a 7000 won (6000 for lunch) place near my house. |

2 great choices! Have you tried bibim momil? It's the same as your second choice, but made with thicker, buckwheat (soba in Japanese, momil in Korean) noodles. |

I haven't tried, but I am not a fan of soba noodles. Use to eat them a lot, then threw them up once when I was sick and can't eat them anymore.
Japchae is wonderful.
What is bun bo hue? I haven't had good pho in Korea, advice? |

| I go to a chain called Pho Mons. Again, I wouldn't call it good, but it is passable. |

I have yet to see a passable pho in Korea. There is a serious lack of herbs, not to mention using lemon instead of lime. |

| i know, i know. but if people can praise the barf that is mexican food in korea, then i'd say the pho is a close enough approximation. at least they have a sriracha-ish sauce. not the huge plate of leaves we're used to throwing in though. |

| Having eaten plenty of real pho, I can confidently say that the stuff in Korea is not deserving of praise in any way. |

Kongguksu is one of the dishes that varies greatly in quality depending on where you go.
In my perfect Kongguksu, the noodles must be narrow, linguine-esque flattish ones, not the white round noodles found in some hot guksu. I don't know how to properly describe how the noodles should taste, but I do know that they should have a taste. Also the soybean broth has to lean just ever so slightly on the side of sweet, and when the salt is added (I like just a slight dash) it still retains its slight sweetness and the salt only presents itself, nothing more. Medium thickness in the broth, but not much grit. And I do not enjoy having tomatoes or an egg in mine, though I would be open to ideas for other vegetables.
MoolNaengMyun is a fine dish- it seems to be fairly consistent wherever you go.
SooJaeBi could qualify as noodles I guess- its dumplings (not the stuffed kind). There's normal Soojaebi and then there is lotus root SooJaeBi. Lotus root SooJaeBi is much thicker and has a greenish color and is more a stew than a soup. A hearty, almost savory taste even though it isn't made with meat. |
