Fantastic Southeast Asian foreign food in (near) Seoul
« on: September 29, 2011, 07:37:19 am »
On the southern reaches of the Line 4 subway is Ansan station. This area has the best (reasonably) authentic and very affordable Thai, Cambodian, Indian and (not Southeast Asian) Russian / Ukrainian food to be found here.

There are a lot of low-income immigrants in the area, and because of this, the food has remained mostly true to the original recipes without Koreanization, since it's mostly the immigrants themselves that eat it.

It's a bit of a trek, but for anyone who's been trying to find some good foreign food, it's worth the trip. All the restaurants are fairly obvious and close to the station, as well.

Cheers mate.  I'm in Anyang so this isn't that bad of a hike.  Excited for some Ukrainian and Cambodian.

Kantipur is definitely the best for Indian/Nepali food. Check out the Ansan Answers website for more info on the area.

Thank you #basedgod. This website is phenomenal. And I am salivating over that Sukho Thai restaurant. Amagad.

Thanks for the heads-up.  I miss food from that part of the world like none other.
