Nowadays when we speak of Korea, the first image in many Thai’s minds is food. Korean food, along with many other aspects of their culture has blended naturally into Thai lifestyles.

Seoga&cook
Let us begin with a Minimal-style restaurant with Italian-Korean fusion cuisine. Their menu may not seem familiar to you but the taste is more than made up for it ✨
And their best set here is Hansang, where you can mix and match the dishes inside to your heart’s content!! Everything! Just for you!! So precious 😭
And while the entire set may seem overwhelming, its price is very friendly. You can bring a few friends over to share this set too! 🤤
✨Our recommended dish here is Fajitas, which is a Mexican-fusion, all-in-one hot pot with the following:
- spicy shrimp in Korean sauce
- stir-fried pork
- stir-fried chicken
- beef steak
💡All of them serving along with tortillas and chili ball dipping sauce. If you still feel like something’s missing, you can add in guacamole, tomato salsa, coleslaw, or if you don’t want beef, you can switch it out with pork shoulder steak as well!

Hangang
The third restaurant on our list! This place has been operated by a Korean owner inside Korean Town for more than 10 years, so you can believe this place has an authentic Korean taste!! All the menus here are based on Gwangju cuisine, which is well-known among Koreans that this is the city of the famous traditional Korean cuisine ✨ ✨
So we don’t have to fly to Korea to taste the actual Korean food! Just come to Hangang! There’re many choices for you to choose from, but our recommended dish is the roasted pork belly that is crispy on the outside, but still soft within. Or you can taste crispy roasted intestines with many flavours to choose from, or even their famous Jjimdak (chicken stew with black sauce).

This pizzeria will open your eyes to the world of pizza like never before, since every single topping here is the unique mix & match of various Korean menus and Italian pizza together, yet they’re so delicious in a way you would’ve never expected! ✨
From spicy chicken Bulduk that’s as hot as it should be, Korean eel with Yuja orange, where the eel is soft with a slightly citrus scent, or even the innovative carbonara tteokbokki, with chewy rice cake in an aromatic creamy sauce.
But the best topping we’re falling in love with is Korean pork barbeque topping!! With its Korean red sauce with a strong barbeque scent that’ll tickle your Korean addiction, full of bite-size porks drowning in stretchy cheese. Ahhh, so nice. 🤤
Another signature of this pizzeria is their thin crust pizza that’ll give you a sound effect with every bite, and every ingredient they choose is as healthy as it could be, too! Overall this place is the beeeeeeest of Korean pizzeria. For real!✨

Somaek
Our last stop here is a Korean tent bar next to Phaya Thai BTS station that Korean fans must visit because this is the best Korean bar in Bangkok!
The best thing about this place is that not only is the atmosphere here very Korean, but the food here is also cheap and delicious! Every menu here is full of Korean flavors whether it’s their pickled shrimp, jajangmyeon, ramyeon, Korean fried chicken, tteokbokki with cheese, jjampong soup, or fried pork, to meat Yukhoe! All of them are really delicious in the way only traditional Korean cuisine can be!!
Just look at their chicken! Tossed in the thick Korean sauce, only made for each order, so you can get the fresh fried chicken for only 120 Baht!! Their jajangmyeon is 150 Baht, and their sauce tastes just like eating in Korea! Any Korean soup you could’ve thought of is all here, so you can’t miss out!!
Overall, if you’re looking for a cool Korean restaurant with good food, good price, and a good atmosphere, Somaek is a place for you!!
