The 5 Best Korean Restaurants in Bangkok

Bornga Thailand

Popular among locals and tourists alike, Bornga is the highest on our list due to its authentic Korean taste. Here, mouth-watering aromas of grilled meats fill the air. As a Korean barbecue restaurant, they serve a wide selection of meat cuts. These range from the tender ox tongue, beef bulgogi to spicy pork belly, but mixed salads and staples like Kimchi Stew, Japchae (glass noodles with stir-fried pork and vegetables), and Bibimbap (mixed rice with meat and veggies) are available as well. But best of all, each meal is affordable making them even more enticing.
