4 Famous Restaurants In Thailand

1. Soei (ร้านเส่ย)

Soei is among the top restaurants in Bangkok, known for its bold and flavorful dishes that cater to those with a taste for rich flavors. One unique aspect of Soei is that it has only one chef, P’Soei, who oversees the cooking process from start to finish. This ensures that the flavors of the dishes remain consistent and never disappoint.

However, the downside of having just one chef is that during weekends or holidays, the waiting time for food can be as long as 2-3 hours due to the high number of guests and the limited cooking staff.

Despite the wait, dining at Soei offers a chance to savor a variety of dishes like Kaem Pla Too Tod (crispy fried Indian mackerel cheeks with garlic and salt), Goong Chae Nam Pla (shrimp dish with lemon juice, wasabi, chili and garlic), Yam Woon Sen (stir-fried vermicelli with vegetables and meat), Pla Goong Pao (shrimp salad mixed with chili, garlic and herbs) and many more.

4. Thipsamai (ทิพย์สมัย)

Pad Thai Thip Samai, also known as Ghost Gate Pad Thai, is one of the most famous names for Pad Thai in Bangkok. The reason it has such a special name is because this restaurant specializes in serving customers late at night until dawn. If you come to the restaurant at night, you can see a lot of customers, from locals to foreign tourists, visiting the restaurant to enjoy the food.

It has common ingredients such as tofu, baby shrimp, garlic, and bean sprouts, but the Pad Thai here is made according to a special recipe, so it tastes much better. It is even considered a place to sell the best Pad Thai in Bangkok. One of the most famous Pad Thai dishes here is Pad Thai Haw Kai Goong Sot.

This old restaurant located on Ekkamai Street is easy to recognize thanks to the large stew pot placed right in front of the restaurant’s door. The stew pot is always kept hot all day, helping the beef pieces to be stewed soft, absorbing spices but still retaining juiciness, along with adding Chinese herbs such as cinnamon and star anise to the stew pot and goji berries (a fruit of the nightshade family) add flavor to the dish.

Jok is a type of porridge cooked in Thai style, and this is definitely the cheapest dish diners can find in this spicy country. Usually, this dish is served in food courts as well as roadside eateries for 30 baht (THB). But the place where you can enjoy delicious porridge is Jok Prince, a small restaurant located in Bang Rak, close to Sapan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station. This restaurant is a bit difficult to find for tourists because there are no English directions in this area.

This restaurant has a few different dishes for you to choose from; here, there are only spicy or non-spicy Minced Meat Porridge served with Century Eggs (a type of Chinese egg preservation) and decorated with onion slices. A portion of such hot porridge costs 45 baht (THB), a reasonable price for a simple dish that is delicious and easy to digest.

For only 16 baht (THB), you can choose your favorite type of Noodles, served with Pork or Beef, Meatballs or Fried Wontons. However, you may need more than one bowl to fill you up, so do as the locals do and order two bowls. The bowls you finish placing at the end of the table can become the basis for an eating contest (some restaurants realize this and have launched a program to give away a free bottle of Pepsi to whoever eats 10 bowls). But there are no restaurants here. Instead, there is a small alley along the canal.

Dishes here start from only 60 baht (THB), and with its simple decor and white tiles, it’s easy to see that this place is more food-focused. The dishes here have quite small portions, so we recommend that you order two or more dishes. At lunchtime, it won’t be easy to find a seat because it is quite crowded and also because of the increasing appearance of Japanese and American stores replacing local stores in Siam Square.

3 Famous Bangkok Restaurant You Have To Wait Patiently

1. Raan Jay Fai

As one of the hottest street food addresses in Bangkok, thanks to being awarded a Michelin star, many tourists want to visit Raan Jay Fai once to see the deliciousness of the food here. The restaurant has 7 tables, of which only 2 tables are for people who have made reservations in advance (via email or phone call), the remaining 5 tables are empty for customers waiting in line. The space is small, and there is always a shortage of seats, making it normal for you to have to wait for hours.

The owner and chef is a woman over 70 years old. She prepares everything herself and impresses with her diving goggles whenever she stands in the kitchen. All stages are done in front of customers. The standout dish here is Crab Egg Omelet coated with chicken eggs and crab meat, served with raw vegetables and chili sauce. Crab meat is considered quite fresh and delicious; however, according to some diners, if you eat a lot of it, it will make you feel sick due to frying it in oil for a long time.

Although it is a street restaurant, the prices here are not affordable at all. Meal prices range from 800 baht (THB) to 1,000 baht (THB)/dish ($ 22-28 USD). Because the number of customers is too large, sometimes the staff is not very welcoming. If a customer stands in line and violates the restaurant’s regulations, such as bringing drinks from outside into the store, not paying attention to the order number, etc., they will receive an unhappy attitude from the staff.

This is a restaurant for people with extreme patience. I don’t know what to do to kill time in 3 hours of queuing here. So I just came to take pictures then leave

Ms. Anna (Malaysian tourist) shared:

Opening hours: 9.00 am – 7.30 pm (9:00 – 19:30)

Address: 327 MahaChai Rd, Samran Rat, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand. (Open Map)

2. Jeh O Chula

Not only is it famous for tourists, but many locals also love this restaurant thanks to its delicious, spicy Tom Yum noodles. Opens around the afternoon, but as the night progresses, the queue gets more crowded because the restaurant’s signature dish – Tom Yum Mama Noodles – only starts selling after 11pm. That’s why Jeh O Chula is one of the famous late-night dining addresses in Bangkok.

Guests had to queue for at least 45 minutes to be served, there were chairs to wait, and the weather was not too uncomfortable because it was night. Warm staff and delicious food are two things that score points in the hearts of customers. Food prices are not expensive, the lowest is 50 baht (THB)/dish ($ 1.4 USD), while the “star” Tom Yum Mama Noodle is around 220 – 300 baht (THB)/bowl ($ 5.6-8.4 USD) depending on the type, enough for two people to eat.

From 1944 until now, the noodle dish has kept the same recipe, cooked from instant noodles, shrimp, squid, ground pork and rolled into balls (like shumai balls), eggs, and other common ingredients to cook Tom Yum. It’s quite spicy. If you don’t like spicy food, you should ask the chef to reduce the spiciness as much as possible. The heat of the dish is enough to warm your stomach late at night.

3. Go Ang Chicken Rice

Located right in the heart of Bangkok, Go Ang Chicken Rice restaurant, which appeared in the Michelin Guide 2018, is recommended by many taxi drivers to tourists when looking for a delicious and cheap restaurant. However, when you come here during dinner time, you have to queue for at least 45 minutes before it’s your turn to enter the restaurant. Although the space inside is quite spacious, guests have to share tables because it is too crowded.

Here, they only serve Hainanese Chicken Rice, which is served with a variety of soups. Boiled chicken is soft but still chewy. The chicken skin is fatty, chewy, and fun to chew, dipped in a cup of soy sauce mixed with a little fragrant ginger. Most diners like to order bitter melon soup stuffed with meat as a side dish to make them feel full. The meal here has the lowest price of 50 baht (THB) ($ 1.4 USD). Healthy eaters can eat up to 2 portions plus a plate of gizzards, boiled liver, and a cool glass of red Thai milk tea, and it’s all you need.

JEH O CHULA – FAMOUS RESTAURANT IN THAILAND

Jeh O Chula is a famous night restaurant in Bangkok that opens in the evening and closes at dawn the next day. Although this place is just street food with quite popular restaurants and is open at such “odd” hours, this is still a place that many locals and tourists visit, seem interested in, and eagerly wait in line to enjoy. If you are planning to go to Bangkok in the near future, don’t forget to “note” the address of this restaurant in your book to plan your meal.

Jeh O Chula is truly one of the restaurants not to be missed when coming to Bangkok. Like many other noodle dishes, Tom Yum Mama Noodles have become familiar to Thai people as rustic and simple fast food. However, if you come to the Jeh O Chula noodle shop, this noodle dish seems to have been raised to a new, attractive level.

Although the shop only opens after 5 pm, many tourists and locals come here late at night. The heat of the noodles is enough to warm your stomach at night when there is a cool night mist. The busiest time is after 11 pm when the restaurant’s famous noodles are served quickly between rows of tables. That’s why Jeh O Chula is one of Bangkok’s most attractive nightlife addresses.

Since opening in 1944, Jeh O Chula’s noodles have remained the same recipe, cooked from simple Thai instant noodles packages, but each bowl of noodles has a combination of ingredients. Attractive “toppings” such as shrimp, squid, meatballs, fresh eggs, and other common ingredients are used to cook traditional tom yum.

A special feature is its unmistakably spicy taste, and the most ordered dish is the attractive bowl of Tom Yum noodles with crab claws. The blend of sour and spicy flavors mixed with hotness, when first brought out, easily satisfies any picky taste buds. However, if you don’t like spicy food, you should ask the chef to reduce the spiciness to the lowest level possible.

The restaurant is so crowded that you may have to wait in line for about an hour after taking a number to be served. Not only do natives also love this restaurant, but tourists also miss the spicy, delicious tom yum noodles. That’s enough to know how delicious this restaurant is, making many diners come back 2-3 times in a row.

Even though it is sold at night, the restaurant is no less crowded than any other restaurant that sells during the day. The big plus point for the noodle shop is that the staff is warm and agile, serving hot bowls of noodles between the rows of tables, making anyone who sees them eat hot noodles. Even having to wait for a long time feels comfortable.

See the full Jeh O Chula menu.

Food prices here are also reasonable. The lowest-priced dish is ฿ 150 baht (THB)/bowl, while Mama’s tom yum noodles range from ฿ 220-300 baht (THB)/bowl, depending on what “toppings” you want to add. In addition, if you order a combo, the price for a small pot of noodles is ฿ 900 baht (THB)/4 people.
