Hia Buay Ancient Noodles

Tom Yum Noodles

Affordable and Authentic Tom Yum Noodles with Quick Service

If you're looking for authentic noodles, Hia Buay won't disappoint. The fish ball noodles are generously portioned and the prices are unbeatable. The menu is in Thai, but the pictures help a lot. Just note, there's no parking, so you'll need to find a spot nearby.

Som Tam Jay So

Northern Thai Food

Authentic Isaan Flavors in Bangkok

I am a big fan of Isaan food, so I had high expectations for Som Tam Jay So. The smoked chicken wings, Beef Namtok, and Lard Pla Duk exceeded my expectations and were some of the best dishes I've had in Bangkok. The lack of air conditioning made it a bit warm, but the delicious food and affordable prices more than made up for it. I highly recommend trying this place for an authentic Isaan food experience.

Roast Duck with Egg Noodles

Delicious Roast Duck and Crispy Pork

I absolutely loved the roast duck at this restaurant! The shrimp ball was also a standout dish with its flavorful taste. The prices were affordable, and the staff was very nice and attentive. The only downside was that the fried platter was a bit oily, but overall, I highly recommend trying their roasted duck if you visit Bangkok.

Fresh Crab Delight at Somsak Pu Ob

The crabs were cooked perfectly and the noodles soaked up all the delicious flavors from the pot. The wait from 3pm to 4pm was well worth it for such a delightful dish. The different crab sizes to choose from made the experience even better.

Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu

Pad Tha

The Pad Thai at Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu on Dinso Road is a must-try for anyone visiting Bangkok. Though the noodle portions are on the smaller side, the choice of meats, whether chicken or grilled pork collar, is exceptional. Each bite is a burst of unique flavors with tender, mouth-watering textures. The attentive service adds to the overall pleasant dining experience.

The Massaman curry here is perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness and sourness. Located conveniently in front of the Hindu temple, it's a must-try for curry lovers. I can't wait to explore their other dishes on my next visit.
