Ssong Thai Itaewon — Restaurant in Seoul

This is the perfect place if you don’t really want to eat authentic Thai food.

The interior is nice and I believe it’s very good for a meeting or a date. It has a good mix of different furniture, not sure if all tired, but it looks good.

Just if you are after Thai authentic food, the chef, unfortunately will not satisfy you.

He will indeed satisfy you if you like lame food taste and it’s maybe your first time you’re trying Thai food or you don’t really care about the real Thai taste at all. We should all keep in mind that many people don’t like to eat real Thai food and they’re more into some Fusion type of food, for those this is your restaurant.

None of the dishes that we have ordered were close to something you can eat in Thailand.

Even a very simple som tum papaya salad is impossible to deliver for the chef.

What I’m also surprised is they don’t even serve Thai rice.

No Thai beer available. Vegan and nut free is on the menu including coconut though. I’m not sure if this counts towards nuts for somebody who is allergic against nuts.

For those who love to listen to Barry Manilow or Frank Sinatra, you will be very happy.

All others, head straight...

I have nothing to compare it to — when I was in Thailand, I ate simple food, and here I tried tom yum for the first time. I don’t know what authentic tom yum is supposed to taste like, but this one was fine. The interior is very pleasant. I especially smiled at the presence of a Soviet poster for an Iranian movie in a Thai restaurant in the center of the Korean capital.

According to reviews, many people don’t like that the food doesn’t resemble authentic Thai cuisine. But since I have nothing to compare it to, I liked everything overall. My tom yum, the atmosphere, the staff —...

I didn't dine in the restaurant but I ordered delivery twice. First time I ordered a pad thai which was really good but it had very few shrimps in it, only like 3. Second time I ordered their curry with fried tofu. The taste was good, but the actual food portion was so ridiculously small!! I am not kidding when I say there were only 4 pieces of tofu in the whole curry. Very few vegetables too. It was literally 90% curry sauce and little food, I was really disappointed. I don't know if their portions are like this too in the restaurant but...
