About

Brisket rice-noodle soup, shrimp pad thai and nasi goreng in a spacious, wood-toned Southeast Asian restaurant.

Koen Thai’s yangji ssal-guksu (brisket rice-noodle soup) is the sensible place to start: the owner recommends it, and the beef broth is simmered daily with more than eight spices. Reviewers describe it as clean and deep rather than heavy, with tender brisket. It costs ₩9,900. The room is spacious and clean, with wood tones and Southeast Asian touches; it works for a solo lunch as readily as a family meal. The shrimp pad thai brings chewy noodles, a noticeable peanut aroma and a sweet-sour balance that reviewers say avoids becoming too sugary. It is ₩13,500. Nasi goreng, at ₩12,900, is a generous serving of spicy fried rice, though some diners find it oily. Tom yum soup is another option if you want a sour, mildly spicy broth; one fan of the style found its sour-spicy character quite strong. The menu also includes 풋팟퐁커리 (pu pad pong curry), banh xeo and pho variations, so a group can order across several kinds of Southeast Asian cooking. Ordering is by tablet at the table, so you do not need to flag down staff. Takeout and delivery are available, and the restaurant is open daily from 11:00 to 22:00. Parking is available in the Booyoung Greentown basement: the dossier reports one free hour, then ₩3,500 per additional 60 minutes. Coriander costs extra, so ask for it if you want it. Reviews are not entirely consistent across visits, and some diners think the noodle soups can be bland or the noodles too thick; the pho and pad thai are the safer starting points if you want to keep the order simple. The broad menu and roomy seating suit families, colleagues and friends, while the tablet setup makes a solo meal straightforward.
