First bites: pu pad pong curry and beef shank rice noodle soup

This is an honest review of Soi Nana in Seongsu — a Seongsu Station spot you can visit without a Bangkok plane ticket. Walking down the streets of Seongsu, there's one gorgeous storefront that catches your eye instantly. That's Soi Nana, the Thai restaurant everyone's been talking about.

Have a bite first!!! Eat this and get your energy back before we start!!!

Pu pad pong curry (1.5 servings), ₩29,000. Crispy-outside, tender-inside soft-shell crab, 99% pure coconut milk, egg, all stir-fried over high heat for a special curry, they say.

Beef shank pho, ₩12,900. The meat just melts in your mouth~~

An exterior and interior like a Bangkok resort café

Even walking up from a distance, the exterior stands out so much you can't just walk past it!!

It's like the atmospheric resort cafés I've encountered on trips to Bangkok.

An exotic atmosphere that feels like it was lifted straight from there — so charming!!

So cute!!!

Seriously, you can feel that resort vibe without booking a flight to Bangkok, and my heart was fluttering with happiness from the moment I walked in!!!

As soon as I stepped in, the staff greeted me so brightly and kindly that the first impression was already very warm!!!

The inside of the restaurant was decorated just as charmingly and prettily as the outside.

If you're someone who loves eating in pretty spaces, this atmosphere will definitely win you over!!

How long is the wait at Soi Nana? After 1pm it is relaxed

I visited Soi Nana a little after the lunch rush, at 1pm. This place is so popular and well-known that if you come during peak lunch hours, the wait line gets long.

So if you want to enjoy your meal in a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere, I strongly recommend visiting after 1pm like I did!!!

Going at 1pm meant I could eat much more comfortably — very satisfying!! Opening the menu, it was packed with all kinds of delicious-looking Thai dishes!!

After some deliberation, I ordered the most basic yet representative dishes!! Colorful and beautifully plated from the get-go, so it was fun to look at and eat at the same time!! Overall, the dishes were well-made, with clear attention to every single ingredient — truly impressive.

Reservations, coupons and Soi Nana as a Seongsu date course

Search for Soi Nana on Naver — there's a coupon, so make sure to use it.

Naver Reservation is also well set up, so booking ahead makes your visit even more convenient!!

This isn't just a place with a pretty atmosphere — the flavor of the basic dishes and the service both left me very satisfied overall. It's great as a Seongsu date course with a partner, and just as good for chatting happily with friends in an exotic setting for a mood refresh!! If you're in Seongdong looking for a distinctive, mood-lifting meal, I highly recommend Soi Nana!!

With delicious food and a perfect atmosphere together, it was a genuinely happy day after a long while!! Come feel that Bangkok-trip kind of excitement and happiness for yourself.
