Korean drama fever has, unquestionably, spread throughout Thailand, not to mention the rest of the world. And it’s no use denying it—you’re probably one of those who spend most of their free time binge watching these cringey romantic series, and getting starry-eyed over the gorgeous male and female leads.
But have you ever found yourself drooling over the food that the characters in these series eat? Well, salivate no more. Bangkok has tons of great Korean restaurants that deliver food that are as delectable as these Korean drama stars. Here are our favorites.
Anyone a fan of jajangmyeon? This famous dish of noodles in black bean sauce has made many of us fall in love with Korean food, and Bangkok Banjom is one of the many places that serve it. The restaurant also makes other awesome Korean staples like jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and jjajangbap (black bean sauce over rice).

If you’re into tasty but pocket-friendly comfort food, then Chan’s Tteokbokki is a great choice. Dig into delivery fare like ramyeon (Korean-style instant noodles), kimbab (Korean sushi roll) and tteokbokki. Dishes are priced from B69.
Delivery: LINE MAN, Gojek, Robinhood
Situated in Korea Town, this eatery guarantees authentic Korean fare made by Korean chefs. Pork Rib Hangover Soup and Gamjatang Pork Bone Stew are only two of the many dishes you can enjoy at home.

This is one of the many Korean barbecue places in the city, but what make GoGi SeKi special are their friendly prices and noteworthy promotions that extend to those who want to enjoy grilled meals under their own roof.

The sweet and sour deep-fried pork at this Chinese-style Korean restaurant has earned thumbs ups, even from the Korean natives who frequent the place.

Coming all the way from Busan (yes, the town in that zombie flick!), JOHA Korean Restaurant serves up authentic Korean staples like tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes), kimchi fried rice, and bibimbap (mixed rice with meat and vegetables).
Delivery: GrabFood, LINE MAN, or call 08 3177 5533
The restaurant’s controversial—but admittedly witty—name is not the point; the point is, you don’t have to leave home to feast on scrumptious Korean barbecue! Kim Jeong Grill offers grilled dishes for delivery, but you also have the option to have the prepared ingredients delivered and cook them at home on your own. Try the bibimbap, which comes with a huge chunk of bone marrow.

K-Pop fans must have surely tried, or at least heard of, this cool eatery. The food at Overseoul is super tasty, photogenic and just like the street food you get in Seoul. You won’t get the club-like vibes the restaurant is known for if you order in, but the food will more than make up for the loss. We recommend the dosirak (fried rice in a metal box) and the deep-fried set.

This restaurant probably doesn’t need too much introduction, having gained accolades for its tteokbokki and fried rice from Korean TV channel SBS. There are many branches all over the city, but you can also enjoy these award-winning dishes in the comfort of your own home.
Delivery: GrabFood or LINE MAN
The thought of sizzling meat is enough to turn us wild with hunger. Save your stomach from growling by having Shinla’s scrumptious grilled meat set menus delivered. Their mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) is also worth trying.
