Here Hai

Crab Fried Rice

The crispy spring and shrimp rolls are delightful, and the lobster is juicy and perfectly cooked. Although the place is often crowded, the quality of the food makes up for it.

Som Tam Jay So

Northern Thai Food

Authentic Isaan Flavors in Bangkok

Som Tam Jay So offers a wide variety of salads, with the grilled chicken being a standout dish. While the som tam may not be the best in Bangkok, the grilled dishes are definitely worth trying, especially the grilled pork neck. The seafood som tam was also tasty with fresh ingredients. The restaurant starts to get busy around lunchtime, so be sure to arrive early to avoid the crowds and enjoy your meal promptly.

Roast Duck with Egg Noodles

Delicious Roast Duck and Crispy Pork

The crispy pork at this restaurant was to die for! I also really enjoyed the spicy Tom Yum Soup. The only downside is that the restaurant is far from my home, but I would love it if they opened a branch in the Sukhumvit area. Overall, a great dining experience!

The Pad Thai at Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu on Dinso Road is a must-try for anyone visiting Bangkok.

Hia Buay Ancient Noodles

Tom Yum Noodles

Sat 06:30-16:00

Affordable and Authentic Tom Yum Noodles with Quick Service

Hia Buay Ancient Noodles serves up a variety of noodle dishes, with Tom Yum being the top choice. The flavors are good, and the prices are hard to beat at just 50-60 THB per meal. The service is fast, but the lack of a parking lot means you might need to park along Witthayu Road or near Lumphini Park.
