Banthat Thong Restaurants in Bangkok

Zhang La Mian

spicy braised beef noodles

10:00-22:00

Zhang La Mian offers a rich and flavorful dining experience with their Chinese herbal meat soups. I tried the beef soup, and while it was delicious, it could have been served warmer. The option to add extra toppings and try different cuts of beef or pork makes the meal customizable and enjoyable.

If you're planning to visit Jeh O Chula, be prepared for a bit of a wait, but rest assured, it's worth it.

Zapponfai

salmon roe salad, grilled pork neck noodle salad, juicy fried chicken

12:00-23:00

Nestled in a hidden lane, Zapponfai is a delightful find for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors. Their grilled pork neck is a standout, and the raw shrimps and crab in yellow curry are not to be missed. While the claypot vermicelli might not hit the mark, the overall experience is satisfying. The restaurant operates on a cash-only basis, and the menu could benefit from some streamlining. Despite minor hiccups, you'll leave with a happy tummy.
