Seongsu Station Thai noodle spot for shrimp pad thai: Thanon55

In short

Thanon55 is a Thai noodle restaurant on the second floor of a building on Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, near Seongsu Station in Seongdong, Seoul. The order was curry tripe pho at 19,000 won, with crispy fried tripe in a spicy curry broth, and shrimp pad thai at 16,000 won that was not too sweet. The pairing of the punchy curry pho with the milder pad thai made Thanon55 a 200% revisit.

How to find Thanon55 and where to park

🚘There's no parking on site, so I parked at a public parking lot nearby.

Here's the atmosphere of the place! There are more seats further inside, but since it was packed, I'm skipping those photos haha

The prices are a bit different from the menu photos on Naver, so 📋 I'm attaching photos focused on the popular items.

I heard the gamjatang pho and curry tripe pho here were super hot right now, so

  • Curry tripe pho ₩19,000
  • Shrimp pad thai ₩16,000

That's what I ordered! (🍯Since it's a top pho spot in Seongsu, be sure to try at least one pho dish)

How does the curry tripe pho taste?

The dishes I ordered arrived 🍽️

The curry tripe pho has an intense curry aroma. And on top there's a huge, crispy fried tripe 😆 This fried tripe is seriously insane ㅠㅠ It's even better dipped in Sriracha 🥹❤️ There's so much fat marbled in, it's ridiculously savory!

This broth is the real kicker...🔥 It tastes like curry but it's salty, punchy, and even spicy 🌶️ I'd genuinely recommend this as a hangover cure 👏🏻👏🏻 There's meat in there too, not just the fried tripe haha And if I order again I think I'll add fried rice 🍛 to soak up the broth with!

What the shrimp pad thai is like

Noodle-slurping stance, ready!

🦐Squeezed lemon juice onto the shrimp pad thai — it comes with a little chili powder, ground peanuts, chives, and bean sprouts! I added more of the chili powder on the table 🌶️

Ta-da, here it is 🧂

It wasn't too sweet so it went down even easier! It came with egg too, which made it taste nutty and clean 👏🏻 The curry tripe pho was so intense that the pad thai almost felt bland by comparison ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but this dish was delicious too 😆

Would I go back to Thanon55?

It was here, now it's gone... This Seongsu pho spot was genuinely better than expected 🥹👍🏻 My revisit intent is 200%, and next time I want to order a different variety of menu items 😇🫶🏻
