Parking for Thai Yami was conveniently available at the Hyundai Sun&Vill Jungangno Station officetel ⭐️ 1 hour free if you're dining there. ![Entrance to the parking lot at Hyundai Sun&Vill Jungangno Station officetel](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-03-1pxze-900.webp) You can choose surface or basement parking — we went with surface for convenience. ## Finding Thai Yami: white exterior with a red sign After parking, if you go around the building and turn left, you'll see 'Thai Yami' with its clean white interior and eye-catching red sign. ![Thai Yami building with white exterior and red sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-04-3a8u3-900.webp) ![Alleyway view in front of Thai Yami's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-05-hiizj-900.webp) ![A cat passing by in front of Thai Yami](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-06-1pib5-900.webp) Where's this cat running off to? Haha. Since you couldn't see inside from the street, it made me even more curious. ## Inside Thai Yami: a restaurant by day, a bar table by night Stepping inside Thai Yami, I was struck by an interior that lets you feel both a daytime and nighttime mood at once. The 4-seat tables had a comfortable, casual restaurant feel that was great for chatting, while the bar table on the opposite side had a moody vibe under soft lighting — perfect for couples or friends to come have a drink and quietly soak in the atmosphere. ![Thai Yami interior with 4-seat tables and bar table](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-07-1clhu-900.webp) ![Softly lit bar table seating at Thai Yami](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-08-9j5fj-900.webp) ![4-seat table at Thai Yami with a coat hook](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-09-1j8cz-900.webp) Since we were planning to chat noisily, we grabbed a 4-seat table 😆 There was even a coat hook, which would be handy for hanging coats in winter haha. ## Thai Yami's menu: separate lunch and dinner boards Interestingly, Thai Yami has separate menus for day and night haha. Besides highballs, draft beer, and Asahi, they also serve non-alcoholic drinks. Both the lunch set and dinner set come with a discount, so keep that in mind. ![Thai Yami's daytime menu board with lunch set information](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-10-z02rr-900.webp) ![Thai Yami's nighttime menu board with highballs and draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-11-i0lr3-900.webp) The signature dishes were pad thai, kai phrai, poo pad pong curry, and Korean beef shabu hot pot. We ordered the pad thai + kai phrai lunch set and a fresh-squeezed orange juice. ![Signature menu board listing pad thai and poo pad pong curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-12-i813g-900.webp) ## Side dishes and fresh-squeezed orange juice at Thai Yami The side dish was a refreshingly clean-tasting cabbage pickle. Even the little dish and the spoon shape were adorable. ![Cabbage pickle side dish plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-13-14kj1-900.webp) ![Cabbage pickle and spoon on an adorable little dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-14-tdq0e-900.webp) First to arrive was the ice-packed fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was brutally hot that day, and this cooled us right off! Being fresh-squeezed, it wasn't too sweet — just clean and refreshing. ![Ice-packed fresh-squeezed orange juice](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-15-11bgf-900.webp) Then came the dishes we ordered — kai phrai, pad thai — plus the enormous bowl of pho we got as a review-event freebie. ![Table with pad thai, kai phrai, and pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-16-10yf9-900.webp) ![Full spread of the lunch set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-17-14vvb-900.webp) ![Pad thai and kai phrai lunch set near Jungangno Station, Daegu, at Thai Yami](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-18-58qs6-900.webp) ## Pad thai: mix in the crushed peanuts, squeeze lemon at the end The must-order dish they recommend at Thai Yami: pad thai 🫶 That sweet-salty-tangy flavor was genuinely delicious. Watch out — the chili on the side is very spicy 😆 Just mix in the crushed peanuts and everything else as you eat. It was generous with shrimp and meat, seasoned just right, with crunchy bean sprouts and carrots — I really enjoyed it. About halfway through, I squeezed some lemon on it, and the fresh zing gave it a whole new flavor 😆 ![Close-up of pad thai mixed with crushed peanuts and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-19-15umw-900.webp) ## Kai phrai: fried chicken salad with house-made soy sauce dressing A signature dish made entirely in-house, kai phrai. Chicken seasoned with Thai Yami's own take on a soy-sauce base came plated together with a sweet-and-tangy salad. It tasted like an upscale version of gourmet chicken soba salad 😍 ![Kai phrai with soy-sauce seasoned chicken and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-20-k06h6-900.webp) The moment we tasted it, my friend and I said the exact same thing at the same time: "Whoa! This is total beer food!" It made me crave a beer instantly. Honestly, eating this made me think a lot about my daughter haha — it's exactly the kind of upscale, rich sweet-and-salty chicken flavor kids would love 🩷 ![Cross-section of the kai phrai chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-21-1ma53-900.webp) ## The review-event pho was a generous portion too The pho we got from a receipt review was a pretty generous portion too, and the broth had a deep, delicious flavor. ![Bowl of pho received as a review-event bonus](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-22-muwk1-796.webp) An absolute must-try. ![Close-up of pho broth and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-23-8u92s-900.webp) ![View of Thai Yami's open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami-24-4vt48-900.webp) ## Next time at Thai Yami: Asahi and Korean beef shabu hot pot at the bar table With its open kitchen, Thai Yami was fun just to watch while eating. Next visit, I'd love to sit at the bar table and try Asahi with the Korean beef shabu hot pot 🫶 If you're in Gyodong looking for Thai food, a different kind of dining experience, or a good-vibe bar, I recommend 'Thai Yami'. ## Where it is - Thai Yami (타이야미) - 222 Gyeongsanggamyeong-gil, 1st floor, unit 105, Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea - 대구광역시 중구 경상감영길 222 1층 105호 - 35.8715047, 128.5990207 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%83%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%95%BC%EB%AF%B8/@35.8715047,128.5990207,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-lunch-doors/daegu-gyodong-thai-lunch-set-thaiyami/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
