Nostalgic Breakfast Spot with Classic Vibes
On Lok Yun, located on Charoen Krung Road in Bangkok's Phra Nakhon district, is a beloved breakfast and brunch spot known for its nostalgic, old-school atmosphere. The menu features simple, home-cooked style meals like Milo toast, egg and ham sandwiches, and all-day breakfast options. While the food quality is generally deemed satisfactory, the vibe and affordable pricing are major draws, attracting both locals and tourists. Notably, the shop's signature French Toast with mixed soy and tomato sauce offers a unique experience, although opinions on its taste vary. The efficient service and vintage charm make it a pleasant destination for a quiet breakfast outing.

Reviews On Lok Yun
This spot has been serving breakfast for over 80 years and is now run by the fourth generation. Weekends are super busy, so I opted for a weekday visit and got seated quickly. The food is decent, drinks are okay, and it's affordable. The owner is friendly and even showed me how to eat their Signature French Toast with soy and tomato sauce—an interesting combo, though not to my taste.
Love the old-school charm of this place, run by a few efficient uncles. The food isn't extraordinary, but the overall experience makes up for it. I didn't have to wait long, making my visit quite pleasant.
I’ve been here a couple of times, more for the nostalgic, old-school Chinatown vibes than the food itself. They offer standard breakfast items, nothing fancy but comforting. The iced coffee is a must-try, and they even sell fresh banana cakes and fruit jams at the front.
Simple yet satisfying breakfast for just 75 baht. The food is served quickly and cooked well. Mostly locals with a few tourists hanging around. If you're into light eats without sausages or meat, the small mix plate for 45 baht is a great option.
Old, authentic gem with simple but good thai/hainanese breakfast dishes.
Looking for traditional Chinese breakfast, this is the place. Looking for a real breakfast, this is the place

I had brunch at Kope Hya Tai Kee and the service was impressively quick. The Thai Tea, with less sugar, was a highlight for me. However, I wasn't a fan of the sweet Lap Ciong in my dish. Overall, a decent spot but choose your dishes wisely.

Located in the vibrant district of Phra Nakhon, Tai Soon Bar offers a unique blend of a Chinese Cyberpunk hipster vibe with tasteful music grooves.

King Rama I Monument Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour
A giant statue of King Rama I, located within walking distance from the flower market and Sky Park, sits in a well-maintained park. The open area is perfect for relaxing, though the fountain at the entrance lacked water during my visit. The statue itself is clean and well-kept, making it worth a visit if you're nearby.
