About
Thai curry with soft crab, chewy pad thai and tom yum noodles in a colorful, Thai-style room.
The dish to build a meal around at Wanni is Pu Pad Pong curry: soft crab in a rich, mellow curry, served with rice that reviewers say can be refilled. It is the owner’s recommendation, and at ₩27,000 it is the most expensive of the featured single dishes. Come with someone to share it, or add noodles if you want a broader taste of the menu. The room’s colorful Thai decor gives the meal a distinctly different setting from a plain lunch stop, without making it feel formal. Pad thai is a good second order: the noodles are chewy, with a sweet-sour, eggy flavor. Squeeze the lemon over them at the table; it cuts through the sweetness and brings a fresher edge. Tom yum rice noodles are another regular choice, with a clean broth that is not especially heavy or aggressively spiced. Portions are described as generous. There are also basil rice noodles, shrimp wonton rice noodles and fried shrimp cakes if you want to share a few dishes rather than commit to curry. Wanni serves from 11:00 to 21:00 Tuesday through Sunday, with a break from 15:00 to 17:00; it is closed Monday. Weekend visits can mean a waitlist, though walk-ins also get seated, and reservations are noted as an option. The restaurant takes group bookings and offers takeout. There is no dedicated parking; the nearby Chang 1-dong Public Parking Lot is listed at ₩100 per five minutes. Lunch sets are cheaper than dinner versions, but check what is included when you order. It suits friends, families and couples who want a shared meal, and it is approachable for people new to Thai food. One caveat: some diners find the dishes sweet, and the curry price can feel steep outside the lunch set. If you prefer restrained sweetness, ask about the dish before ordering.
