Bao

The area near my summer apartment seems to be blessed with quite a few good Asian restaurants. The people I subletted from mentioned this place so I had to check it out. Bao specializes in wok-fried noodle dishes. You can get a pretty good amount of food for under $10. First you choose the type of noodles (or rice) you want. Then you get to choose from five different sauces: Chinese, Singapore, Thai, Malay, and Korean. You can also choose your vegetables (and egg too), and then for a little extra charge you can add tofu, chicken, pork, beef, squid, prawns, kaffir lime leaf, coriander, lemongrass, basil, and cashews. I went with the wide rice noodle with Malay sauce, "a silky peanut/coconut blend with a touch of heat."
Directions: Noksapyeong station (line 6) exit 2. Go straight down to the underpass and go left to get up to the street. Walk a little to the corner and you should see Bao across the street.
