There's not really much of any Vietnamese or Thai community here, and the few restaurants that are here are run by Argentines, and the kitchens are staffed by Argentines as well, plus they tend to cater to local tastes rather than traditional style.

The Kal Bi and Chop Che tasted just the Korean dishes at home. I wished I could have tried their Mandoo, but unfortunately they ran out. Also, I wish they had Meat Jun, but no joy. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait until I return home to Honolulu. The food at this restaurant was much more authentic than Empire Thai or that Vietnamese Restaurant/Boutique in Palermo.
