The Vietnamese chain Alagi has opened its second restaurant in Seoul in June, after the first one gained popularity among locals.

Alagi restaurant serves typical Vietnamese dishes, including pho, bun bo (noodle beef soup), bun cha (grilled pork and rice noodle) and banh mi (sandwiches).

The first Alagi restaurant opened in Dongdaemun district in September 2018, serving 120 – 150 eaters daily on average.

Inaugurated on June 11, the new restaurant lies in Seodaemun district and serves some 150 guests daily.
