It's not just one of the best places for dim sum but also one of the most elegant spots for Chinese cuisine. Large bays windows look out upon a manicured lawn running towards the Chao Praya. Looking in, the decor is timeless and cream-toned. And despite his perfectly authentic Cantonese fare,...
Thai spirit Mekhong’s first restaurant, Mekhong Mystique, has just arrived at Asiatique. With all the trappings of a wine bar—think leather couches and hanging lamps—the food is also your typical fusion fare, like New Zealand mussels with spicy Thai herbs (B160), squid ink spaghetti with seafood (...

Samsara has become one of our favorite spots by the river. Set in one of those charming wooden houses you pass as you ride the express boat along the Chao Phraya, the restaurant is tucked down a little alley behind Wat Pathumkongka (where you can hardly park your car). The place feels halfway...
File this under: missed opportunity. Set in what was once an old boathouse right by Phra Arthit Pier, Sheepshank’s themed decor of old pulleys, crates and buoys is topped only by the river views, which are particularly stunning come sundown. The menu, from Seven Spoons’ chef Somkiat “Joke”...
Song Pochana has been around for more than 37 years in this neighborhood, with the restaurant’s popularity seeing the original small shophouse expand into the pretty large dining space you find today. (And they’ve also now opened a more modern second branch in Kalaprapruk Rd.) We think the reason...
