Four years ago, a street food-focused restaurant called The Local Canteen swiftly broke the boundless monotony of lunch routines across...
There’s a new spot for affordable Southern Thai cuisine on Silom.
Looktor Norliang serves old-school recipes like kanomjeen namya poo (cold noodles with crab curry, B160), hot-and-sour nam choob (Phang-nga-made shrimp paste, B120) and deep-fried pla rang fish (B150) from the Andaman coast.

The buzz: Chong Nonsi really is the new Phrom Phong. After a slew of cool new bars and cafes opening on Sathorn Soi 10-12 (plus a couple ultra-luxe offerings at the intersection), the area's revival has made it all the way to Thanon Pan, a leafy soi running from the Hindu temple on Silom to the...
Maisen, in Tokyo, is famous for specializing in tonkatsu. But now you can also get a taste of their renowned breaded pork cutlets at Silom Complex, where they opened a branch in partnership with S&P. Despite opening onto the basement of a mall, the homey, wood-heavy décor manages to achieve...

Matcha Mood offers a variety of superior-grade matcha products in a very contemporary (read: minimal) space that seeks to capture the peaceful, meditative spirituality rooted in tea-drinking culture.
Newbies might want to try their signature cold aged matcha (B130), which has mellow, nutty notes...
Matoi Sushi fits within that league of Bangkok sushi restaurants that hide behind dark Soi Thaniya doorways and require you to shuffle past karaoke hostesses to find. Its presence is made all but invisible not just by girls in skimpy dresses, but also thanks to its uber-kitsch sister barbecue...
Sala Daeng is a whole different vibe to Soi Thaniya, just opposite on Silom. While Soi Thaniya turns into a seedy Japanese red light district at night, Sala Daeng, particularly Soi 1, fills up with office workers from the nearby towers. And while we wouldn't recommend the food at Miharu over what...
