My wife left me... to go to beijing for 3 days for an internship. Luckily she came back ^^ and even better is that when she came back i could pick her up at the Incheon airport and had a bit time to eat diner there. Of course i was most happy to see my wife again but the food was nearly as good.
In the basement of the airport are a few restaurants, some better some worse. Around the elevators / escalators are a few restaurants called Food On Air. They are separated into Studio 1, Studio 2 and Snacks (at least if i'm not mistaken). The one which offers Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and Italian food is the one you absolutely have to try ( i think its Studio 1).
I went there only twice but until now i had there the best thai food i ever tried in korea and the pizza is also at least under the best 3. In other words its just awesome. I can absolutely recommend the Pizza Margeritha and the Cashew stir fried chicken. The pizza has a medium thin crust a bit Napoli style, plenty of fresh tasting tomato sauce as well fresh and juicy mozzarella. The size is apropiate for one person. The stir fried chicken is very tender, with a lot mixed vegetables, cashews and just the right sauce: not to plain, to greasy, to spicy... just right. It is served with rice and (the only strange thing so far) something they claim is naan.
Now there is certainly no shortage of good restaurants in seoul but to find one offering authentic italian and thai food is definitely rare. and now comes the kicker: it's actually affordable!!! A Pizza Margherita for 10.000 won or a stir fired chicken for 11.500 won plus tax. If you look around in seoul the price is even still fair if you consider the subway fare to and from Incheon ^^ however spending 3 hours in the subway might be not the best idea for a date.
in other words, if you ever happen to be at Incheon airport and have some time, do yourself a favor and try Food On Air
Edit: Apparently Food On Air closes early.... We learned that yesterday the hard way: with an empty stomach. At 9.30pm they were already closed, with no opening times announced. Generally the food situation at Incheon Airport after 9pm seems to be less then great. Whats basically left is fast-food.

| Stir fried chicken with cashew nuts. A real treat, fair priced and large enough serving. |
