I searched for this restaurant in the square for 3 hours but couldn't find it. I searched two buildings and it took me more than four hours to eat this crab. It took more than an hour by car. Oh my God, when I decided to give up and wanted to find a random restaurant, this Jianxing Restaurant appeared in front of me again. I was crazy. The price was okay, the taste was okay, the crab was enough but a little greasy, the Tom Yum Goong was not very good, very salty, a little fishy, it didn't particularly surprise me, I only want to eat it once😎
I went to the Siam Square branch. To be honest, the first bite of the curry crab was super delicious. The second bite started to feel greasy. The fried oysters were so greasy after one bite... Wow! It was so greasy. I recommend it. It's worth it!

I waited for almost an hour to get fried crab eggs from Bangkok’s “popular” food stall. It's delicious but not the best in Bangkok, and its price is not cheap. The only thing is that its ingredients are super fresh, and the shrimp and crab are meaty enough, so at least you won't feel heartbroken when paying. What I admire most about her is that an old woman can stand in front of the stove and cook for 10 hours non-stop from noon. Her endurance is more powerful than Superman!
I was attracted by a video on the Internet and made a special trip to taste it. During the epidemic, there is no need to queue up, just order dishes and eat when you arrive. I was very lucky that I didn’t queue up for the first time (the Internet said that the queue was 2-4 hours). The boss, Sister Zhi, was busy at the stove in her signature clothes as always. The signature dish: crab meat wrapped in egg is 1000 baht/portion. It seems expensive, but it is not expensive. It is full of crab meat when cut open. It is estimated that 3-4 crabs are used in one portion. Ordering a curry crab (1 crab) in a restaurant outside also costs 250-350 baht/ 600🐷/portion of Tom Yum Goong, the taste is not much different from that of 200🐷/portion outside; there is also a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, 600🐷/portion, it is just Cantonese stir-fry, and there is nothing particularly good in taste, no wonder the foreigners at the next door tables only ordered the signature dishes; it doesn’t matter if the Michelin one-star is a bit expensive, the price is there, but some dishes are not as good as rumored, it’s better to be cautious with things that are popular on the Internet.

A very local Thai restaurant with a unique style.
It's amazing!
Every dish is so delicious.
You will miss it for a long time after eating it once.
It's perfect for my Thai stomach.
I don't know if this is the taste of Thai mothers.
But at least it's my taste. Don't miss it if you go to Bangkok.
The seafood Tom Yum Goong soup has a strong lemon leaf and thatch flavor, which some people can't get used to, and it's very sour. The charcoal grilled pork neck is very delicious, but it's a pity that the portion is too small, but it's really tender. The chicken wings are average.

The Deck Restaurant is located at
36-38 Soi Pratoo Nok Yoong, Maharat Road | Rattanakosin Island, Phrabarommaharachawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand. The view of this restaurant is really the most convincing. The evening is the most suitable time for dining. The restaurant can see the beautiful sunset of Wat Arun. I have almost no mind to eat. The location is really great.

visited this restaurant as my friends recommended it.the taste did not disappoint but it’ll be better if the food is served warm (closer to hot). I went at 12pm but there were already many people in the restaurant.
[Taste] Very good taste
[Environment] Fresh and clean
[Service] The waiter is very patient and handsome
The environment is very clean, divided into three floors, with about ten tables on each floor. Two adults and two children ordered seven dishes and four drinks, and the average cost was only 74 yuan per person. The food was served very quickly, and the waiter was handsome and cute 😀. The food tasted great, and it is worthy of being a recommended restaurant

On the upper floor of the Erawan Shrine, the air conditioning is strong and the soul is refreshed as soon as you enter. The dishes are exquisite Thai food, which is delicious. I ordered papaya salad and grilled pork neck, which was not a thunder. The meat was grilled so tender and fragrant! The service is very good. Service fee and tax will be charged. As long as the better restaurants in Bangkok charge these two surcharges, it hurts.
It has always been more famous for its "Thai Afternoon Tea". What many people don't know is that it also offers "all you can eat" Thai cuisine, and it has been recommended by Michelin Plate!
You can order everything on the menu, and you can order more after you finish eating, and the portions are not very large, allowing you to taste a variety of dishes! It is highly recommended to bring more people together, as four people can probably eat most of the dishes.

Shangwei Thai Restaurant is located in Mercury Ville. What impressed me most about the dishes in this restaurant is that the portions are very large, so you need to pay attention when ordering.

supanniga eating room is the best place for me. It has a strong coconut flavor and the mushrooms are especially delicious. I suggest you go there for your first meal. If you have high standards in mind, you will not be confused by ordinary Tom Yum Goong.
This is a very good chain restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a Michelin-recommended restaurant. The price is a bit expensive, but every dish is very exquisite, and the dining environment is also very good. I personally think that the guava juice here tastes very pure and delicious. Everyone must remember to order a cup to taste it.

Tom Yum Kung Restaurant Khaosan is located at
9 Chakkarapong Rd, Taladyod, Phra Nakhon | Khao San Road Area, Bangkok, Thailand. It is inside the Khaosan Night Market and is easy to find. We found a place with air conditioning. The food was served very quickly when we ordered, and the Tom Yum Goong soup was really delicious. It was a pity that the food was not very hot. The other dishes were also good. It is a good restaurant overall.
The Khaosan Road Night Market is mostly populated by tourists, including many Europeans and Americans. The food they cook is average in taste and the prices are higher than other places, so after eating, I don’t come to the night market anymore and just check in.
