About

Beef-and-tendon rice noodle soup, nasi goreng and garlic-stem pork rice bowls in a small, airy room.

The bowl to start with at Powon is the yangcha rice noodle soup (양차 쌀국수): brisket with beef tendon or flank in a deep, fragrant broth, with enough meat and bean sprouts to give each spoonful a different texture. It is the richer choice, though not every diner finds the broth equally bold. The room is small, with broad front windows that keep it from feeling closed in; solo diners and lunch groups share the tables. For something without broth, nasi goreng (나시고랭, ₩12,000) arrives as well-separated fried rice grains with savory seasoning, peanut crumble and chili. The portion is generous. The jjong pork rice bowl (쫑돼지덮밥, ₩12,000) pairs pork and garlic stems in a sweet-salty sauce; the stems bring a welcome crunch. The alchadol brisket noodle soup (알차돌쌀국수, ₩14,000) is another popular bowl if you want beef without the mixed cuts. Rice dishes come with a small bowl of noodle broth. Noodles can occasionally clump or cook soft, and some diners find the meat chewy, so the fried rice or pork bowl is a safer bet if texture matters more than soup. Powon serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, from 11:00 to 21:30, with a break from 16:00 to 17:00; it is closed Sunday. Weekday lunch is the pressure point: office workers arrive around noon, tables fill quickly and a short wait is possible. Come before the rush if you can. There is no parking, and delivery is available through Baemin. The place suits a quick solo lunch as well as a casual meal with colleagues or family. Prices are not especially low for a neighborhood meal, though the fried rice portion helps make its cost easier to justify.
