Yeomi Hanoi Rice Noodles

About

A Vietnamese restaurant in the basement of Myeongje Building near Dongmyo-ap Station, serving local-style pho and a broad range of Vietnamese dishes.

At 여미하노이쌀국수, the menu reaches beyond the familiar bowl of pho. Bloggers describe a broad selection of Vietnamese dishes, including brisket pho, bánh xèo, seafood fried rice, bún chả, and bánh mì. For a first visit, the brisket pho is a natural anchor: diners praise its deep broth, generous portions of beef, and substantial serving of noodles. One account also notes that the brisket is thick-cut, giving the bowl more chew than a scattering of thin slices. The bánh xèo offers a different way into the menu. It is listed as a Vietnamese pancake, a companion to the soup for a meal that moves from warm broth to a crisp-edged, savory plate. Seafood fried rice is another hearty option; one visitor singled out the garlic flakes and remarked on its especially large portion. These are not just add-ons to a pho stop: they make the restaurant worth considering when your table wants several dishes to share. The setting, according to visitors, has the feel of a Vietnamese neighborhood eatery, with a range of less familiar local-style dishes alongside the staples. The restaurant is on the basement level of a building near Dongmyo Station, a practical stop for anyone exploring the Jongno area. Ordering can be done with a phone at the table, according to one review, and the menu is broad enough that browsing before choosing may help. There is some variation in how visitors describe the room—one calls it compact, while others mention a spacious interior and tables suited to groups—so expect a casual restaurant rather than a tightly defined dining-room experience. What comes through consistently is abundance: full bowls, plentiful meat, and generous rice dishes. Come for the brisket pho, then let the menu pull you toward bánh xèo or seafood fried rice. It is a good address to keep in mind when you want Vietnamese food in Jongno with more to explore than one familiar noodle soup.
