What can account for the boom in Seoul's Thai food restaurants? Of course, their sweet and savory dishes are delicious, but how has that discovery landed upon Korea's capital? Perhaps one main reason is the growing number of Koreans traveling to Thailand and finding the cuisine simply irresistable. Seoulites are crazier now for authentic Thai food than they've ever been in the past. With the quantity of Thai restaurants growing, it's inevitable that the competition amongst these restaurants will grow stiffer. Who has the best pad thai? Which places offer green curry that's made with the freshest coconut milk and chili peppers? Time Out Seoul finds out.
Thai food is hot hot hot in Seoul right now, and Mum Aroy opened mid-2014 in the thick of it. Fortunately for us, it’s a delicious addition to the scene, and well worth visiting if you’re looking for a good pad thai in Hongdae. Husband and wife team Kim Ji-hoon and Gil Seung-mi both trained as chefs (he in Japanese cuisine, she in Italian), but learned Thai cuisine by working with Thai chefs who had themselves worked in upscale Bangkok hotel restaurants.
Tuk Tuk Noodle Thai is a gem of restaurant located in the basement of a small building near the entrance of the Yeonnam-dong alley. It would not be an exaggeration to state that Tuk Tuk was the chief cause of Yeonnam-dong's renaissance as a “hot” place. With the growth of unique, small restaurants beginning to form a bustling commercial district, customers have flocked to the area and created long, eager lines of ready diners.
Ban Pichai
Ban Pichai is famous for authentic Thai appeal since its opening.”Ban Pichai” means “brothers’ place” in Thai language. The restaurant is actually run by two Koreans familiar with Thailand food culture. They wanted to bring enjoyable authentic Thai food that you would expect in the main street of Bangkok at a “reasonable price” in a “friendly atmosphere.”
