Had a great dinner here last night. My kids both got chicken pad Thai, my wife got the Panang curry, and I got the Gai Pad Med Mamuang (chicken with cashews). All of it was delicious. The staff is very friendly. They play funky 80s covers in a reggae manner.

When you come to Itaewon, just visit here in Thai restaurant. There menu are fusion with THAI and Korean, you could enjoy fresh and good flavor. I recommand Set menu with white wine or high-ball. Make fantastic time with awesome view in this restaurant. Believe me. (from Korean)

My husband and I visited Buddha's Belly in Itaewon and ordered the Royal Set for Two. We took a day off just to come here and enjoy a quiet lunch together—something we hadn’t done since getting married! We thought about bringing our son, but decided to have some quality time, just the two of us. The atmosphere and view were absolutely beautiful—calm, cozy, and perfect for a special lunch. It was our first time trying the Thai pasta and Neua Sadung, and both dishes completely blew us away. My husband literally fell in love with Buddha’s Belly on the spot! If we get the chance, we’d 100% come back again. Highly recommended for couples or anyone looking for a relaxing, flavorful dining experience.

The restaurant is run entirely by Thai chefs, so I could really taste the authentic flavors of Thailand. With the nice weather lately, opening the windows gave the space a refreshing, open feel and a lovely view. The Thai pasta was delicious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It was a great dining experience overall.

This was delicious! And they were able to squeeze us in before the dinner rush without a reservation. (It seems like making a reservation is a good idea though!) We came here because they had gluten-free options for my partner who has celiac, but also the food was SO good. I would come back if possible.

The Best Thai Food in Korea???????????????? Delicious foods, Vegan Menus are available, Nice view, perfect location, close to the subway station! Actually, It was my very first visit, and I loved it!!!! All the staff were so kind and they welcomed me with big smiles when I got into the restaurant! They have their own unique vibe Must try menu is Tom Yum Goog. It has a very rich flavor and a kick The lunch time was pretty crowded, I recommend you to make a reservation through the app called "Catch table " before your visit ;)
