Korean food cravings are definitely real, and they happen more often than we might expect. Here are the Korean restaurants to visit next time those cravings hit.
We have known about the goodness of Korean food since we were kids. There were many times when we wanted to reach into our TV screens and try whatever was cooking in the royal kitchens of Dae Jang Geum. The sensation is the same every time we watch characters hit Korean restaurants after work even in modern-day K-dramas.
Bangkok has all that you need when it comes to food, and that includes satisfying those Korean food cravings. Of course, the place to be at is Korean Town in Asoke, but for this roundup we’re expanding the horizons a bit more, to feature those places outside of the obvious that don’t want you to overlook. Here’s all the Korean restaurants in Bangkok you need to check out.
