Ansan City in Gyeonggi Province is famous for having many Vietnamese restaurants. One of them is the " Homeland" restaurant, specializing in pho and traditional Vietnamese dishes. The chef and the restaurant's staff are all Vietnamese, praised by many diners for their friendliness and hospitality.
The Korean female blogger nicknamed Bonomi came to this place after reading many positive reviews on social networks.
"Many people come here to wait in line. I come to eat at 2 pm but the restaurant only has 2 seats left. If I had arrived a little late, I would have had to wait in line," Bonomi shared on her personal page.
The restaurant's menu has many diverse dishes, from beef stew, stir-fried stew, vermicelli with crab, bun cha to rice with ribs, banh xeo, spring roll, fresh spring roll... The price ranges from 8,000 won (140,000 VND) to 10,000 won (180,000 VND), quite cheap compared to the average of Vietnamese restaurants in Korea.
"The beef stew costs only 8,000 won but is very crowded. 2 months ago, I traveled to Hanoi and ate a lot of pho. The best bowl of pho I have ever eaten was at the hotel where I stayed. And the pho here is just as delicious. The broth is clear and rich, the perfect flavor," Bonomi shared.
blogger Bang Jina was also surprised because the food at this restaurant was so cheap.
"Please try the broth first. The taste is delicious and rich. On cold days, eating pho is better. I just sat there without talking. I splashed off the cheese juice and ate all the banh xeo but still wanted to eat more. It was a perfect morning with delicious food," Bang Jina wrote on his personal page.
Lini, a food blogger, praised the 10,000 won seafood stir-fry.
"Scented coffee, hot broth are suitable to eat in the cold winter. But I like sticky rice better. It has many vegetables, seafood, and harmonious flavors. I think I could eat 5 more plates of stir-fried pho. In the end, I ate too quickly so I didn't have time to take any more photos," Lini shared.
