Mibundang in Seoul serves Japanese-style pho at a counter designed for eating alone. The broth, made with chuck flap and bean sprouts, is prepared without MSG, and noodles can be refilled without limit. Orders are placed at a machine or kiosk at the entrance, then diners sit at a U-shaped counter, and a wait can form starting at 11:30 a.m. The space is not suited to eating while talking.
