Visiting by car with a friend, the writer ordered pad thai at 15,000 won, kai phrai (chicken salad) at 21,000 won and fresh-squeezed orange juice at 5,500 won, and found Thai Yami laid out with both group tables and single seats, so eating alone feels easy. The kai phrai, rarely seen at other restaurants, stayed the favorite dish at Thai Yami. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:30-22:00 - **Regular closing day**: Every Monday - **Parking**: Hyundai Sun&Vill Jungangno officetel, underground or ground level, 1 hour free - **Location**: Close to Exit 3, Jungangno Station - **Seating**: Group tables and solo dining seats - **Pad thai**: 15,000 won - **Kai phrai (chicken salad)**: 21,000 won - **Fresh-squeezed orange juice**: 5,500 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Main photo of Thai Yami, a Thai restaurant in Gyodong, Daegu](https://img.superchart.com/images/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats-01-xg22c-1200.webp) A Gyodong, Daegu dining spot — a Dongseongno Thai food favorite, Thai Yami Hours: 11:30-22:00 Closed: Every Monday 1 hour free parking at the Hyundai Sun&Vill Jungangno officetel building Close to Exit 3 of Jungangno Station 🙋🏻‍♀️ On a day when I was craving Thai food after a long while, my friend and I headed to Gyodong for some 💕 The place we ate at was Thai Yami, a Gyodong, Daegu restaurant with great vibes and great food‼️ ![Entrance of Thai Yami near Jungangno Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats-02-i3hjg-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of the Thai Yami building exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats-03-11lzo-900.webp) ![Signage in front of Thai Yami](https://img.superchart.com/images/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats/taiyami-daegu-gyodong-thai-solo-seats-04-m0nde-900.webp) ## Parking and solo seats at Thai Yami: is one hour free? 📌 Thai Yami parking info ✔️ Parking available at the Hyundai Sun&Vill Jungangno officetel, basement or ground level ✔️ 1 hour free parking support Since Thai Yami offers 1 hour of free parking if you bring a car, we drove over too.
