If you step out of Exit 1 at Yongsan Station, right where Yongridan-gil kicks off, you’ll stumble upon Little Vietnam. The first thing to greet you? Those vibrant yellow and red parasols outside the shops, instantly transporting you to a bustling Vietnamese market. We snag a seat on the second-floor terrace—plastic chairs and tables might not scream fancy, but they’re just what you need to soak up the cool breeze, warm sunshine, and authentic Vietnamese vibes.
Now, Koreans know their rice, and the pork rice bowl here is no joke. Fluffy rice topped with savory stir-fried pork, packed with flavor. Garlic stem and cilantro add that extra kick of fragrance and spice. But the real magic happens when you mix in that fish sauce—it’s a flavor explosion. Plus, topped with cilantro, it’s spicy+1.
And let’s talk tempura—crunchy, crumbly perfection. Stuffed with pork, shrimp, and veggies, it’s like biting into a crispy dumpling. Down south in Vietnam, this fried roll is a popular treat, and it’s easy to see why. The texture is a delightful mix of crispy and chewy, and that sweet and sour sauce? Pure magic. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt your mouth—it’s all about relaxing and savoring every bite. No need for a plane ticket—Hieutu is your ticket to Vietnam dreams, right here in Yongsan.
