Reviews
This section is for places actually visited, eaten at, walked through or tested. It starts small on purpose.
A local review of Phopular near Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station: a Vietnamese-run rice noodle shop with clean broth and fair prices, where a 14,500-won pho and nem set plus an 11,000-won com thit lon fed the family for 25,500 won.
A local review of Sulbing Dongdaemun, a Korean dessert cafe one minute from Phopular: a 12,900-won cheese bingsu and a 3,900-won iced americano shared by the family, plus which bowl to order if you want the real Korean flavour.
