포메인 서울숲점 Pho is the Vietnamese rice-noodle soup this chain is built on; the Seoul Forest branch is named for the park its windows face.
Compiled from 18 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Vietnamese pho chain branch on the second floor of Galleria Foret's shopping wing (Building 102), right across from Seoul Forest. The house pho was 12,000 won small and 14,000 won large in January 2026; Set B for two (pho, spring rolls and a fried rice) was 37,000 won. Twelve of the twenty visit posts came with children or parents, and many stopped in around a walk in the park or a show at the Seoul Forest Theater downstairs. We read 30 posts from November 2024 to September 2026; four were about other branches or other restaurants, and six were lists, delivery or recommendations rather than visits.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- The view is what comes up most: ten visit posts mention seeing Seoul Forest from the window seats. One writer wanted a window table at lunch and found none free; another got one at 8:05 in the evening.
- Families find it easy. Ten posts came with children and five mention high chairs; one notes child-sized dishes too, another a place to leave strollers, and one says every table seemed to have a child at it.
- Three posts say the food came quickly; none say it was slow.

You park in the Galleria Foret garage. Seven visit posts parked there, and five of them say eating here gets you two free hours. Two posts give the garage rate as 2,000 won per 10 minutes. One writer bought from three shops but found validations only stack for two, and paid 12,000 won extra.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 4 of 18 posts |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 2 of 18 posts |
The shop is on the second floor. Four posts say so, and two say you take the lift from the ground floor. One writer climbed the stairs from the park side, found them tiring, and came in through the back door. Two posts mention outdoor tables by the entrance.
No one wrote about a step at the door or wheelchair access — that means we don't know, not that there is none. Two posts say a lift goes up to the second floor.
No post says whether the toilets are inside the shop or separated by gender.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 24 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Posts differ on how you order: a January 2026 post used a kiosk and paid upfront, while two posts from June and July 2026 ordered on a tablet at the table. We can't tell whether the system changed or the posts simply describe it differently.
- Waiting barely comes up: one post walked straight in, another says even when busy the wait is short. One mentions seats by the entrance for waiting. We don't know how long a weekend lunch wait runs.
- Two posts describe getting there by subway, measured to the building: about 200 m from exit 4 of Seoul Forest station, and close to exit 5. No one came by bus.
- Eight visit posts list opening hours: seven say 11:00–20:50, one says 11:30–21:00. Four give last order as 20:20. Most of these were copied into the post header. Three say there is no afternoon break (one heard it from staff); none mention a closing day.
- Several posts copy the phone number, 02-499-0321, but none say whether you can book. One mentions a private room at the back.
- In 2026 posts, the basic pho ran 12,000–14,000 won, rice bowls and pad thai 15,000, bun cha 16,500, and the premium pho 17,500. Two people paid 40,000 won for two phos, a fried rice, spring rolls and a cola in July 2026. Two posts call it good value; none call it expensive.
