Located right at the bottom of the hill in Kyeongnidan is Bao, a tiny stir fry restaurant. I must have walked past this place a million times and never paid attention to it until I saw a sign reading "Vegetarian food!" outside. Although very small (in similar fashion to many restaurants and cafes in the area) Bao has an interesting and relaxing atmosphere.
Bao allows you to create your own dish by offering 3 types of noodles, brown rice and white Korean rice. They have lots of different sauces to choose from including Thai, Malay and Korean. After you pick you sauce and starch, you can choose from a large selection of veggies to add to your dish. The portion size is big and the dishes start at 7,000W. Adding tofu costs 2,000W and you can even add extra spices like lemongrass and Thai basil. This time, I went for the thin rice noodles with Thai sauce and tofu.
The food was so good that I ended up going back later that night with friends for dinner and had the wide rice noodles with Malay sauce and tofu. They also have a "Bao-jito" which is like a mojito but with lemongrass infused vodka. I asked for mine without sugar and it tasted like Thailand over ice.
To get there, head towards Haebongcheon from Noksapyeong station and you'll see Bao next door to Noxa on the corner. You can call them at 02 797 4769. The address is 658, Itaewon-dong (Kyeongnidan), Yongsan-gu, Seoul 140-861
