I really hate the korean nasty very the got here. I have been craving for 2 years now...I really need a fix. Anyone know of a place that actually tastes authentic. I heard they have one near the vietnamese embassy. Is the rumor true?

You have to admit gargantuan is a much better word than awesome.

Not sure what you mean by authentic, but if you want some decent Vietnamese pho along with some nice cold Jasmine tea, I recommend you visit a restaurant chain called "Hoa Bin". I think you can find them in most major cities in Korea. ^^

There's a good Vietnamese restaurant in Ansan, near Ansan station. The owner is Vietnamese and the clientele is almost all Vietnamese. I didn't have the Pho, but the fried rice and beef I did have was excellent.

In Central City mall, lower-ground floor (Express Bus Terminal subway stop), down the hallway next to the Outback Steakhouse. Had great shrimp-&-noodle rolls and nasi goreng there yesterday. There are around a dozen types of pho on the menu. It closes for a 'break' between 4 and 5pm.

That Mall is foreigner heaven. My meals this week will include the spinach tortellini, pesto sauce, red leicester cheese, chorizo slices, and shortbread biscuits I got in the incredible Shinsegae food court (on the same floor as the Vietnamese place, which I think is called Pho Tai). The Youngpoong Bookstore seems to have a much more extensive English book section than previously, and a better organised foreign magazine section. There's an 'Accessorize' (great UK-based accessory store), Haagen Daaz, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and a Body Shop.

Oh, and there's a Crispy Creme there now. They give you a free one fresh off the line when you go to order.

I know of 2 at Ansan Station, one is across the street by the bus stop and the other is called "Hanoi" which is in a smaller sidestreet hidden from prying korean eyes.


You could buy the instant pho in korean supermarkets. They are white and pink and totally look different than the korean counterparts in case you wonder.
It's probably a decent taste, except there are no herbs and meats.

I've been to those chains Pho shops and they suck balls! Their "Pho" tastes like dishwater.

They all are missing the Thai Basil and Cilantro. A few Koreans have told me that, "Koreans don't like cilantro". How can all Koreans not like cilantro?
What a bunch of BS. If they just added those two herbs...crap, they also don't use limes.

Are limes illegal in this country or what? I have NEVER seen a lime in Korea. Where can I get limes and why do Korean stores carry lemons but not limes WTF?
