On a weekday lunch visit the writer ordered Thai-style beef pho for ₩11,500, seafood pad thai for ₩14,000, and a half order each of thod mun goong and spring rolls, with the rich broth of the Thai pho and the crispy shrimp cakes standing out as favorites. It's a great spot for lunch followed by a walk around Unjeong Lake Park. ## Good to know - **Beef pho**: ₩11,500 - **Seafood pad thai**: ₩14,000 (choice of chicken/shrimp/seafood) - **Thod mun goong (shrimp croquette), half order**: ₩4,000 - **Spring rolls, half order**: ₩4,000 - **Location**: 108, Yueun Tower 1, 1102 Gyeongui-ro, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - **Nearby**: Right in front of Unjeong Lake Park *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I was trying to figure out what to eat for lunch near Yadang Station and got a craving for pho, so I headed to Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch 🙌🏻 Whenever I want pho near Yadang Station, Drunken Thai is one of the first places that comes to mind — it's known as a favorite around Unjeong Lake Park, and there seemed to be a ton of delivery orders going out at lunchtime too! ![Exterior of Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-01-136ip-900.webp) *Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch* ## That real Thai vibe, at Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch I travel to Southeast Asia pretty often, but lately I've mostly been going to Vietnam, so it's been a while since Bangkok or Pattaya — I've only made it to Phuket recently — and sometimes I miss that distinct Thai atmosphere. Visiting Drunken Thai, a Thai restaurant in Unjeong, gave me a strong dose of that feeling, and I loved it 🌴 ![Thai-inspired interior of the Drunken Thai restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-02-1g4gy-900.webp) ![Interior decor at Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-03-1fl5s-900.webp) ![Table seating at Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-04-16ku7-900.webp) ![Thai-themed interior design of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-05-vja1a-900.webp) ![Interior view of Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-06-jg8kw-900.webp) ## What's on the menu at Drunken Thai? > Thai restaurant in Unjeong > Drunken Thai menu Thai-style beef pho is the base of the menu, alongside pad thai, coffee, fried rice, morning glory, and a range of other Thai dishes — it's a place that gets recommended a lot for lunch near Yadang Station! It looked like a young owner was running the place, and their quick, hardworking, friendly attitude made it feel warmer every time I visited 🙌🏻 Even on a weekday, the delivery notifications kept coming and delivery riders kept dropping by, which somehow made it feel even more Thai. I think I need to take a Thailand trip soon, haha. ![Drunken Thai's Thai food menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-07-1swoq-900.webp) *Drunken Thai menu* ### What we ordered that day - Beef pho - Pad thai - Spring rolls - Thod mun goong Here's everything we ordered. This pho near Yadang Station is genuinely delicious, so a lot of people come here for lunch, but the turnover is fast and the food came out quickly! As Drunken Thai has become known as a favorite around Unjeong Lake Park, lunch actually feels busier than dinner somehow! Eating well at Drunken Thai Unjeong Yadang Branch and then taking a stroll through Unjeong Lake Park right in front makes for a perfect date course — great for couples, and also a nice spot to visit with kids! ![A full Thai food spread for lunch near Yadang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-08-1t6l6-900.webp) *Lunch recommendation near Yadang Station* ## Beef pho, ₩11,500 — how is it different from Vietnamese pho? > Drunken Thai beef pho > ₩11,500 ![A bowl of Drunken Thai's Thai-style beef pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-09-h3eu9-900.webp) *Pho favorite near Yadang Station* Vietnamese pho vs. Thai pho — not all Southeast Asian rice noodle soups taste the same! The broth flavor is quite different between the two, and honestly I can't pick a favorite 😭 they're both so good, what can you do... What I do know is that when I'm craving a really rich, deep broth, it's Thai-style pho I think of, not Vietnamese. It's definitely noticeably richer than the Vietnamese version. Even the color of Drunken Thai's pho is different ✨ ![Close-up of the rich broth in Thai-style pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-10-lcxzt-900.webp) ![Thai-style beef pho topped with bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-11-290nc-900.webp) It's also a great delivery menu item! There are so many pho places around Unjeong, and they basically split into Vietnamese-style and Thai-style, so it made me think — if you're craving something light and clear, go Vietnamese; if you want a rich broth, go Thai. You could order based on your mood for the day, haha. This bowl at Drunken Thai, a favorite for pho near Yadang Station, is loaded with crunchy bean sprouts, soft rice noodles, and generous chunks of beef, all swimming in that rich broth. ![Thai-style pho topped with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-12-14xbo-1200.webp) ![Rice noodles and large chunks of beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-13-3q02j-900.webp) Drunken Thai's pho is definitely a dish that's hard not to love. And those big chunks of beef! They're not dry or tough at all — really tender, so you can just pull them apart with chopsticks. Take crunchy bean sprouts, noodles, and torn beef on your plate, slurp it all up in one bite, and it just bursts in your mouth!!!!✨💘 Finished the whole bowl in no time. ## Seafood pad thai, ₩14,000 > Drunken Thai seafood pad thai > ₩14,000 ![A plate of Drunken Thai's seafood pad thai](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-14-16ich-900.webp) *Favorite pad thai in Unjeong* Next up: Drunken Thai's pad thai. You can choose chicken, shrimp, or seafood for the pad thai, and we went with seafood. Rice noodles give such a different feel between soup and stir-fry — soft and delicate in broth, and chewy in that satisfying way once they're stir-fried. ![Pad thai with seafood and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-15-7tgv1-900.webp) ![Lifting a forkful of pad thai noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-16-f6w4k-900.webp) ![Seafood pad thai well coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-17-1pn4i-900.webp) As you'd expect from a proper Thai restaurant, this might be the best pad thai in Unjeong, Paju. That sweet-and-sour pad thai sauce flavor comes through just right, and the sauce coats the noodles, vegetables, and seafood so well that I couldn't put my chopsticks down until the plate was clean-! Next up is my absolute favorite of the day 🐷 ## My favorite: thod mun goong (shrimp croquette), half order, ₩4,000 > Thod mun goong (shrimp croquette), half order — ₩4,000 > Spring rolls, half order — ₩4,000 ![A plate of thod mun goong and spring rolls, half order](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-18-14jq1-900.webp) *Thai food in Unjeong* If you're looking for great pad thai near Yadang Station, it's Drunken Thai. And what pairs perfectly with pad thai? Thod mun goong!!!! Drunken Thai's shrimp croquettes are delicious ✨✨ You can order spring rolls and thod mun goong as a half or a full portion — we went with half thinking we'd be full, but the thod mun goong was so good we ended up ordering another plate (so really we ate a full portion in the end). ![Crispy shrimp croquettes, thod mun goong](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-19-1ht6s-900.webp) ![Cross-section of thod mun goong showing the shrimp filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-20-ikk6k-900.webp) Oh, this was my pick of the day. The batter isn't too thick, so the outside is super crispy-! and the inside stays moist with two whole shrimp tucked in ✔️ Genuinely so, so good. I wish Drunken Thai sold these in bulk — I'd buy a big batch, freeze them, and air-fry them whenever I wanted, haha 😳 ![A Thai food spread enjoyed for lunch near Yadang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch/drunken-thai-yadang-beef-pho-lunch-21-lykrd-900.webp) *Lunch near Yadang Station* ## So, how was lunch near Yadang Station?
