Two adults and a child had Sunday lunch there, ordering beef pho, shrimp pad thai and chicken curry rice, topping up with free rice and noodle refills until they were stuffed. With both spicy and non-spicy dishes on the menu, it worked well as a family outing. ## Good to know - **Location**: 10-minute walk from Exit 2, Digital Media City Station (Line 6), on the main road - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **Parking**: No parking on-site, use nearby public parking lots - **Seating**: 4–5 tables, spaced generously - **Ordering**: Kiosk at the entrance - **Beef pho**: ₩11,500 - **Pad thai (chicken/shrimp)**: ₩12,000 - **Curry rice (poo pad pong curry)**: Chicken ₩15,000 / Seafood ₩20,000 - **Pad kra pao moo sap**: ₩11,000 - **Tom yum goong**: ₩17,000 - **Refills**: Free rice/noodle refills (for pad thai, request the noodle refill at the time of first ordering) - **Review event**: Leave a receipt review for a free drink or spring rolls *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* While looking for a good meal near Sangam-dong, I found a hidden gem — a pho restaurant that's become a real Sangam favorite. ![Main photo of Drunken Thai Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-01-1goga-1200.webp) > Drunken Thai Sangam Branch ![Sign for Drunken Thai Sangam Branch on the main road](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-02-1hcpk-900.webp) ## How far is it from Digital Media City Station? It's about a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Digital Media City Station on Line 6, and since it's right on the main road, it's really easy to find. 🅿️Parking🚗 No parking on-site / use nearby public parking lots ![Exterior of Drunken Thai Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-03-16q0c-900.webp) ![Entrance with an authentic Thai feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-04-19m4t-900.webp) The outside of the place has quite a presence too. It feels less like Sangam-dong and more like somewhere in Itaewon, haha. ## What was the wait like for Sunday lunch? I visited on a Sunday for lunch, and since this is more of a business district, weekends seem to be quieter. I got in with no wait at all. On weekdays, though, this looks like it'd be a busy Sangam lunch spot. ⏰Hours⏰ Daily: 11:00–22:00 / Break time: 15:00–17:00 / Last order: 21:00 ![Interior with a local restaurant atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-05-b02q5-900.webp) Here's the interior. I genuinely thought I'd walked into a local restaurant in Thailand, haha. There are about 4–5 tables, but they're spaced well apart so it never feels cramped. ![Full view of the Thai-themed interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-06-zbf1r-900.webp) This is Thailand right here, haha. ![Order kiosk at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-07-q6kb6-900.webp) ## Menu, prices and how to order You order at the kiosk by the entrance. Prices overall are pretty affordable. ![Menu and prices at Drunken Thai Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-08-b1w2a-966.webp) > Menu - Beef pho ₩11,500 - Pad thai (chicken/shrimp) ₩12,000 - Curry rice (poo pad pong curry) chicken ₩15,000 / seafood ₩20,000 - Pad kra pao moo sap ₩11,000 - Tom yum goong ₩17,000 - Free rice/noodle refills > Order for 2 adults + 1 child - Beef pho x1 - Shrimp pad thai x1 - Chicken curry rice x1 ![Interior filled with Thai decor pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-09-1sx9n-900.webp) ![Thai decor items placed around the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-10-ls4lj-m-900.webp) After ordering, I looked around a bit. The place is full of little decor pieces that really lean into the Thai vibe. ![Floor tiles with a Thai aesthetic](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-11-oyl0j-900.webp) Even the floor tiles have that Thai feel... now I want to go to Thailand, ㅜㅜ This is the basic table setup. It normally comes with a lid on, but I opened it up to show you what's inside. ![Basic table setting with the lid opened](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-12-1gyj9-815.webp) Mild pickled radish, and chili pickled in what tastes like fish sauce — savory and rich. ![Pickled radish and chili pickle side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-13-vn1eo-900.webp) All the dishes came out at once. ## 🌶️Beef pho (₩11,500) ![Three Thai dishes served all at once](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-14-j2z8v-966.webp) A Southeast Asian classic — beef pho. ![Bowl of Drunken Thai's beef pho](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-15-1h5qj-900.webp) ![Close-up of the rich, dark beef pho broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-16-622d2-900.webp) Look at the color of that broth. Even at a glance you can tell it's rich — I thought it might taste overly salty given how dark it is, but instead it had a subtle sweetness and the flavor ran really deep. There were two thick slices of beef on top too. Crunchy bean sprouts, a deep broth, and proper rice noodles — this pho really delivers. ![Pho topped with bean sprouts and thick beef slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-17-9p0al-900.webp) The broth leans spicy. Definitely recommend it on a day when you're craving something hot and fiery. Noodle refills are free. If you're eating and want more, just ask for a top-up! ## 🍤Shrimp pad thai (₩12,000) ![Shrimp pad thai loaded with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-18-1d3md-900.webp) Pad thai is Thai-style stir-fried noodles, and the ingredients here are piled on generously. I sprinkled on the peanut powder from the table and gave it a try. I'm putting this as the best pad thai I've ever had in my life. Genuinely the best... chef, how on earth did you make this? ![Shrimp pad thai sprinkled with peanut powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-19-1kkag-900.webp) Pad thai with a sweet edge and that smoky wok flavor — the crunch of the bean sprouts, perfectly cooked rice noodles, and plump shrimp came together perfectly. It wasn't spicy at all, so it was great to enjoy with my kid too. Noodle refills are available for pad thai too. You just can't add them partway through — you have to request the free refill when you first order! ## 🌶️Chicken curry rice (₩15,000) Do you like poo pad pong curry? Even if you don't, you have to try this one here. ![Chicken curry rice served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-20-1o3yk-966.webp) It comes out with rice like this — you scoop some onto your own plate and mix it in. ![Poo pad pong curry topped with a fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-21-ds8zz-900.webp) Mash up the fried egg, swirl in the chili oil, and pack a spoonful — yum! ![A spoonful of curry rice mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-22-103fp-900.webp) With coconut cream and egg in there, it's so smooth and savory, with insane depth of flavor — I honestly forget this curry is Thai and not Indian, hahaha. I ordered the chicken version and there was a ton of it inside. Not a hint of gaminess, absolutely delicious. Every dish was great, but curry rice was my number one! Rice refills are free too, so I ended up having two bowls, haha. ![Sign about the receipt review service](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-23-1tob7-900.webp) If you leave a receipt review, you can get a free drink or spring rolls — definitely worth doing. ## To sum up - A Sangam lunch favorite, Thai food near DMC - Interior that transports you straight to Thailand - 🤤Everything on the menu is good - Great value for money - Great for solo dining in Sangam or 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 family outings - Super friendly owner and staff The best meal I've had all year — I'd revisit with 10000000% certainty. ![Table at Drunken Thai Sangam Branch after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice-24-l5haf-900.webp) ## Where it is - Drunken Thai Sangam Branch (드렁킨타이 상암점) - 338 World Cup buk-ro, Cheongun Sangga 1st Floor Unit 105, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵북로 338 청운상가 1층 105호 - 37.5762142, 126.8943504 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%93%9C%EB%A0%81%ED%82%A8%ED%83%80%EC%9D%B4%20%EC%83%81%EC%95%94%EC%A0%90/@37.5762142,126.8943504,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ordinary-meal/drunken-thai-sangam-family-lunch-curry-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
