Recently, my friend Henry introduced me to a wonderful Thai and Vietnamese restaurant in Sinchon! It is hidden in a little side street near the main road, and it is becoming a really really popular eating spot. The wait can be long during peak dining hours, but the wait is usually worth it if you really desire the Thai flavors.

| Carley's Pho |
Henry, Carley, and I went not too long ago and feasted! We tried pad Thai (6,500 won for one order), Carley got some pho (6,500 won), and I ordered the tom yum soup (8,000 won). The flavors really surprised me. I have tried some not-so-good Thai and Vietnamese food in Korea previously, and so I really enjoyed the flavors tasting less Korean.
I liked that the pad Thai wasn't overly sweet, and that it came with egg, peanut, bean sprouts, and a lemon wedge (though I usually get lime wedges in the US). The tom yum soup was also quite tasty and spicy, and it came with a good number of shrimp in it. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the soup had a lot of inedible lemon grass and bay leaves in it. I didn't taste Carley's pho, but she really enjoyed it. It was HUGE and had tons of beef!
