    This is my second time here, the kwe tiauw reminds me my hometown (chinese food). Very delicious food with good price. Unfortunately there basement was not opened that day. The basement has decoration that reminds me of my hometown. By the way, this restaurant is Thai food restaurant but some of the food is just like chinese food. My fav is of course kwe tiauw.

    Absolutely reconsider this restaurant I had several dishes ,most of them tasted sweet I was also told things that I want it for my taste I could not get even though I was paying for whatever it was I want to add shrimp to my papaya salad they told me it was not possible I wanted that pork larb with sticky rice told me it was not possible Could not order sticky Rice by itself I had to buy with mango so I said OK I want it green curry shrimp I ordered double shrimp I also got the small portion to go With only five shrimp inside the soup I am completely upset at the unprofessionalism of this restaurant and courtesy to its patrons They have my money but I never got exactly what I wanted from this establishment Please reconsider your Thai options in Korea You deafly can find somewhere better for your money Also extremely slow service Also the morning glory was all stems I’ve been to Thailand several time and have eaten abroad strictly Thai dishes for over three years I definitely know what Thai food is and this is not it

    Wow... Please do not make a group booking. It was a disastrous experience, to be honest. I made a booking for 6 people and deposited $120 (each $20, they asked). but there is an additional guest joining us. The restaurant kept saying that they could not make an additional seat for the guest and also they could not make several tables put together for us, so only we can do is we must seat together packed.🥺 It was horrible and I could not enjoy the meal happily. There was an underground empty hall downstairs(you can check how empty they were in downstairs in my video), but they did not put any effort to make a seat for 7. and also do not bring a car, their location was too narrow to park and you must pay for valet parking. even I spent for 7 people but I must have been charged for valet parking as well. very inconvenient and I could not believe how I got treated like this, even spending a lot of money. If I knew their environment like this, I should have never made a booking for group here. Only for 2 people is fine. there is no consideration for customers. Sorry to say like this. But I got hurt by their service and attitude as well. I do not think that i derserve to be treated like this. Yesterday was very precious day for me and my mom's friends. I feel like that I totally screwed up.

    THE BEST THAI RESTAURANT in KOREA! I’m no expert in Thai cuisines but this place has never failed on me every time I take my friends here. Definitely recommend dining here at Buddah’s Belly. They have great view, vibe and the soundtrack they put on really goes well with the dishes they serve, which enhances the overall experience. + Rice they serve makes the dishes complete as they use the thin long rice, which makes it more authentic. Food is served fairly quickly.

    Pretty disappointed with the service. This place has really nice view with fully open side. Their food is quite nice especially noodle with beef broth was my favorite. Only reason I am giving three stars is that we were refused to move table to near the window in a very strict and unfriendly way and that was even at the time of ordering drinks not halfway through the meal. Such a service is not suitable for such a nice restaurant.

    Really nice staff and a very good menu. The food is delicious and, especially outside, the view is really lovely. The is defiantly a restaurant you should have had diner, whenever visiting Iteawon.

    1. Nice fine dining for Thai cuisine 2. The street to access was a bit narrow and crowded on weekends, so I had to walk up the slope 3. Appetizers are good but few varieties and missing the signature Thai style fried Tofu. The soup was good. 4. They have an extended deck for floor seating, which was nice. Price was reasonable for such fine dining. 5. The main courses were super extra spicy with lots of chili, so when you order, ask for less spicy. 6. Dessert - mango sticky rice was amazing. 7. Very few options for drinks.

    No surprises, it was fantastic! The atmosphere of the exotic restaurant and grand view of Noksapyeong is so cool. I think Buddahsbelly has the most astonishing view in the around Itaewon area Mom and I tried our best to get as many different dishes as this was our first time here. We had 2 appetizers Som tam (green papaya salad) and Fried prawn cake. And we all had different main dishes of Pad Thai noodle and Fried Crab with yellow curry! We were so impressed from the start. The appetizers were so flavorful and the main entrees were so tasty wowing us with every bite We really loved this place and will definitely be back.

    Buddha’s Belly was very good! I am a solo female traveler this trip to Seoul and I was seated during lunch. The food was reasonably priced for lunch and the food was good. The water I was served was room temp at best, and I prefer cold water. The restaurant itself is contemporary with a spice of traditional culture in it. So the atmosphere was eccentric. The food came out quick and the staff there were very friendly. I would come and eat here again!

    The Best Thai Food in Korea🇹🇭🇰🇷 Delicious foods, Vegan Menus are available, Nice view, perfect location, close to the subway station! Actually, It was my very first visit, and I loved it!!!! All the staff were so kind and they welcomed me with big smiles when I got into the restaurant! They have their own unique vibe 🥰 Must try menu is Tom Yum Goog. It has a very rich flavor and a kick 🌶️ The lunch time was pretty crowded, I recommend you to make a reservation through the app called "Catch table " before your visit ;)

  • 1/5 P P. 11 months ago on Google
    We parked a car in front of the restaurant which is actually car parking space. And they asked me for the key so gave but then they drove my car away to somewhere else. And after i finished my meal, they charged me 5,000won for “Vallet parking fee”. I don’t feel very good altho the food here is nice.

    Personally I'd say the service could be better, even if the saw us and looked right at us, they choose to ignore us in the beginning. I don't expect anyone to jump for me, but a small sign to let us know you'll be right with us, would be appreciated. The food was good and they even had mango sticky rice for our dessert.

    This place is pretty good for those of you looking for thai and vegetarian food. Perfect place for a date or meals with friends. A little on the pricy side, but it's worth it for a once in while dining option.

  • 5/5 Jadmini 1 year ago on Google
    As a Thai I can say that this food was really authentic and tasty! We had a great view on Itaewon!

  • 4/5 강중호 1 year ago on Google
    Its awesome restaurant. If u expect original thai cousine, It may be a good option. price is little bit high, but this Itaewon's mood is worthy spending that amount money.

  • 4/5 Adam C. 2 years ago on Google
    To go order. Ordered the Panang curry and it was good with a decent size portion. The rice was a little firm and dry but that could have been the drive home. I also ordered a Thai tea and when I got home I realized it was in a can which was disappointing.

    I didn't realize Thai food is so great this much until I got here. Pad Thai that is the basic menu of Thai food is mild, nutty and tasty. Also, Tom Yam Goong is so great. If you like a spicy and sour soup, I highly recommend it. Staffs are nice and friendly.
