3. Youhan

If you’re looking for a cozy Thai bistro, this is the place for you. Youhan is tucked away in the alleys of Hannam-dong, so it can be a bit tricky to find at first. I suggest looking for the place using one of the navigation maps in Korea (for example: Naver Map)

Youhan was founded by Chef Kim Yu-han, who trained in Thailand. The restaurant serves classic Thai dishes with a creative twist from house-made Thai sausages to grilled duck breast, seasonal sashimi, and dishes drizzled with Thai green sauce.
