The menu at Kabuki may be huge, but the portions are not. If you are on a diet, this is the place to go to. From the outside it would seem that the restaurant is empty, but appearances can be deceiving: actually the dark wood restaurant, with its waterfall wall screening a kabuki stage, is quite...

Despite a capacity of about 300 seats, Baan Khanitha@Gallery still manages to fill up, even on days plagued with heavy rain like when we visited. Moved from Soi Ruam Rudee last September, Baan Khanitha is a lot bigger than the former location and has been made...

Though the food from street vendors can’t be beat, during the rainy season there are times we’d rather enjoy the unofficial national dish, somtam, without the added smell of the damp, filthy ground. (Can you blame us?) Plus this is sale season. Famished from filling our shopping bags...

Feeling a certain kind of craving for normal food without too much ceremony, over-the-top decoration and priced in an end-of-the-month sort of range, we opted for a newly refurbished restaurant whose reputation preceded it. Phrakakrong on...

While there are many privately run restaurants in Bangkok where you can have an excellent dinner, there are actually only a handful—especially when it comes to European restaurants—where you can be assured of an excellent dinner night after night after night. Based on a few recent meals...

The brand is the same but the owners aren’t, so Saigon Rimsai Sukhumvit 65 isn’t a “second branch” of the long-running restaurant on Thong Lor. (It’s a franchise. Whatever.) It’s obviously newer but also bigger and much nicer than the original. Located in a quiet...
