Any suggestions for Thai food in Itaewon?

[seoulsucker]

Buddha's Belly next to the Hamilton Hotel is a bit pricey, but good. It's also consistent. The other places I've frequented were a bit hit and miss.

Silom next to Helios, across from the fire station is the best Thai I've had in Itaewon, very reasonable and nice cozy patio too.

Any buffets?

Pattaya is pretty good and certified by the Thai Embassy in Seoul.

I give all the Thai restaurants a miss. Too expensive and dinky little servings. Go to the Halal Pakistani restaurants.

I saw a sign that Thai Orchid re-opened across the street and up a bit from where it was before - anyone been there yet?

Thai Garden, next to the Itaewon hotel and where Thai Orchid used to be. The staff is the same as before, but I think the food is better. Portion sizes are large (difficult for me to finish and that's saying a lot) and most of the chicken dishes start at 10,000 won. Obviously not the prices you would pay in Bangkok, but for Seoul, not too bad.

Thai Gardens seems to have the best vegetarian menu, though, of the places mentioned - though I haven't tried the new Thai Orchid yet.

I recommend two places for Thai food...but they're not located in Itaewon.

The best Thai food I've had in Seoul was the Pink Spoon in Shinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. Tacky decor, kinda formal, but damn good food. Not cheap either.

Zen Hideaway has 2 locations - one in Myeong-dong and one in Apgu. Only been to the one in Apgu...decent food, great selection, killer ambience. Good place to take a date.
