    Authentic Isaan Flavors and Textures

    The staff here really made an impression with their kindness and patience, even though language was a bit of a barrier. The traditional Thai hot pot was fragrant and satisfying, paired perfectly with a fresh papaya salad topped with raw clams. The open kitchen adds a nice touch of transparency and cleanliness to the dining experience.

Do I have to eat on the street?

No! Not all the Bangkok street food comes from a humble cart on the side of the road. Some do, some are a collection of stalls in a local market or a traditional shophouse that has tables. If you're worried about cleanliness, stick with busy places as the ingredients will be fresh. You will miss an essential part of Thai culture if you don't try! Speaking of Thai culture: Don't miss our Famous Food Court List!

How do we collect those places?

We check blogs and other websites with top lists and gather them together. Some of them we test by ourselves and some are hints from visitors. We check several platforms for the ratings - you will find them at the end of the location address. If you know an awesome place, just give me a mail at: hello@gurullist.net Read more about our mission.

    Guay Jub Mr. Joe

    Crispy Pork

    Crispy Pork Delight at Guay Jub Mr. Joe

    The service at this restaurant was quick and efficient, making the dining experience enjoyable. The crispy pork was hands down the best I've had in Bangkok so far. The savory and peppery soup was a nice complement to the meal. The seating was ample, and we didn't have to wait in line to be seated, which was a plus. I will definitely be returning for more of that crispy pork.

    My visit to this restaurant in the Ari neighborhood was a hit! The fried squid was perfectly cooked and flavorful, while the mackerel rice dish and cabbage omelette were a bit of a miss for me. The atmosphere was great, with attentive service and a bustling vibe. Overall, a spot worth checking out for a solid meal.
