elektrified Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Lum Lum in Sansai. Owned by a Korean chef and his Thai wife. Been in business for many years. They serve Korean beef. Superb! Another place (for lunch only) in the Nimman area - I believe Soi 11; also Korean owned. Lunch buffet. Misone.

Dipterocarp Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Definitely not as good as the soul food in Seoul but try Jin Mi on Changklan road. Never seen anybody but Koreans and Japanese there. Another one on Chiang Mai land road was good but I don't know the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the name of the place on Chiangmai Land either, but have been meaning to go for years. Just never remember... That's the place that the King's granddaughter often flies in to eat lunch at and has mentioned it in a number of articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglechef Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Interested in the chicken feet restaurant. Does it actually serve chicken feet dishes??

You can check out the menu below, although it's all in Korean, It's on the outside of the moat, same side as the AIA building, you can see it on the left side coming from Airport Plaza.

Grumpy Duck Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Having been married to a Korean for over 5 years I must say the term good Korean food is an oxymoron to me. I hate kim chee I actually purchased a second refrigerator when we were married so the fermented cabbage stench would not ruin any more of my food. I believe the term dragon breath originated from kimchee eaters. I understand the Japanese used to call Koreans garlic eaters.

Very strange border line, which goes just around Meechok Plaza (for those not familiar with the area the buildings at 1001 and 3029 is Meekchok with Lotus across the street to the right that is white) BTW, yes google and wikipedia are my friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

properjob Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've been married to a Korean for more than 30 years. Lum Lum at Meechok Plaza is by far her favourite. She is never shy of taking Korean visitors there. The problem with most of the Korean restaurants in town is that they are opened by people who have never run a restaurant before. The food is bad and the service atrocious in the majority of them. Lum Lum's food is taken care of by the Korean husband of the team; his Thai wife runs a tight ship out front. They now have a second, very successful, branch in Hang Dong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobin Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Sounds like 'sour grapes', Jchef. Maybe ur restaurant failed and now u r angry and lash out at other restaurant folk. In fact, few new restaurants make money and subsequently close up after 1 or 2 yrs. And from my point of view, some of these new owners know damn little about food, service or a welcoming atmosphere. They like to cook, they know everyone eats 3x per day and are usually highly restrained by local competition. And from a farang viewpoint many 'restaurants' are merely fronts for 'drink and smoke'.

Very true, I have been served sour grapes among other rotten food stuffs. BTW my restaurants were a great success which allowed me to retire in my 30's and are now still profitable 20 yrs later Oh yeah, I like Lum Lum restaurant as well Edited July 17, 2017 by junglechef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
