Royal family heritage | Samsen Road

Legendary for its stir-fried crab in curry powder and fluffy crab omelette. Originally the personal chef of a Thai royal family member, the recipes remain unchanged. Popular with government officials in the Dusit district—authentically Thai without modern influences.

Krua Apsorn @Samsen offers delicious food at reasonable prices. I thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered and am eager to revisit and explore more of the menu. The experience was satisfying, and I look forward to returning for more culinary delights.

I was intrigued to learn that the restaurant's founder was a former chef for the Royal family, which elevated my expectations. The staff recommended six dishes, and they did not disappoint. Each portion was generous and skillfully prepared, meeting our high expectations. I plan to return and savor more of their exquisite offerings.

Having the opportunity to dine at a Michelin Bib restaurant was truly rewarding. The crab and prawn dishes were outstanding, and the coconut ice cream was a delightful treat. Although finding parking was a bit of a challenge and the atmosphere was somewhat crowded with tourists, the excellent service and delectable dishes made it worthwhile.

I visited Krua Apsorn @Samsen multiple times during my trips to Bangkok and found the experience delightful. While some dishes were average, others stood out, particularly the spicy and sour shrimp soup with lotus root, Tom Yum soup, and cowslip flowers with shrimp or pork mince. The flavors were exceptional, and I highly recommend trying these dishes.

The ambiance at Krua Apsorn can get quite noisy, especially when the restaurant is full. However, the food more than makes up for it, with the fried king mackerel being a standout choice. The overall experience was pleasant despite the noise level.
