Statues greeting you with “sawasdee khap” welcome you first. ![Thanon55 entrance with Thai-style statues](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-08-b4g09-900.webp) As soon as I entered, I loved the interior, which felt as though I had arrived in Thailand. It is normally a restaurant with a line, so if you are worried about waiting, simply make a Naver Booking before you go. ![Thai local-style interior at Thanon55](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-09-6bd39-900.webp) The stylish interior, full of a Thai local feel, was impressive, as was the way it made use of the character of an older villa building. ![Restaurant interior making use of the older villa building's character](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-10-13qu1-900.webp) The self-service bar, where you can freely refill salad and side dishes during your meal, was clean too. I also liked the atmospheric tableware. ![Clean self-service bar for salad and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-11-zuj9n-900.webp) ## Crispy fried pork in Moo Tod Curry The first dish to arrive was Moo Tod Curry. Moo tod is Thai-style fried pork: crisp outside and still juicy inside, making it a lovely match with curry. It is an appealing dish that lets you enjoy the crowd-pleasing crisp-outside, tender-inside texture of the meat and the deep flavor distinctive to Thai curry at once. ![Crispy Thai-style fried pork Moo Tod Curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-12-1y7v4-900.webp) It was also delicious dipped in the chili sauce that came with it. I could see why it belongs on the best-menu list. It was not overly seasoned—just the right amount of addictive flavor. ![Moo Tod Curry with chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-13-qyqte-900.webp) ## Poo Pad Pong Curry and soft-shell crab The Poo Pad Pong Curry I had been looking forward to as the main dish had a wonderful combination of soft egg, sweet and nutty coconut milk, and crisp crab. ![Poo Pad Pong Curry with egg and coconut milk](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-14-6zymx-900.webp) The sweet-savory curry was neither intense nor excessive, yet I kept reaching for it, and we polished off the generously sized serving of rice in no time. ![Sweet-savory Poo Pad Pong Curry and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-15-v8i5p-900.webp) Soft-shell crabs are harvested just after molting, before their shells harden, and are characterized by being fried and eaten whole, shell and all. ![Soft-shell crab fried whole with its shell](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-16-1gh4j-900.webp) The crisply fried exterior was light and crunchy, while the soft, moist texture distinctive to crab meat filled my mouth and naturally brought a smile to my face. The curry tasted similar to the Moo Tod Curry. ![Tangy and spicy tom yum goong pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-17-q66j8-900.webp) ## Tangy and spicy tom yum goong pho The tom yum goong pho had a cooling, spicy quality and a rich, distinctive tang that came together beautifully, winning us over from the very first bite! ![Thai-style tom yum goong pho with rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles-18-g6gps-900.webp) Its rich, deeply satisfying broth soaked into the soft rice noodles just right, so I think we got to enjoy truly Thai-style pho. What a joy it is to taste that local flavor without having to go to Thailand! Since this is a place where you can enjoy both the flavors and atmosphere of Thailand, I definitely recommend visiting when you want a change of pace with delicious Thai food! ## Where it is - Thanon55 (타논55) - 1F, Unit 203, 16 Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 뚝섬로9길 16 1층 203호 - 37.5396694, 127.0564402 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%80%EB%85%BC55/@37.5396694,127.0564402,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@back-table-seoul/seongsu-thanon-thai-curry-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
