Bangkok is a city that never sleeps, and neither does its appetite. The City of Angels is a captivating metropolis that tantalizes the taste buds with its vibrant street food scene and renowned restaurants. For expats fortunate enough to call Bangkok home, the city offers endless culinary possibilities; from fiery curries to fragrant stir-fries, there's something to satisfy every palate.

However, navigating Bangkok's bustling streets can be daunting, especially during peak hours. Traffic jams and long queues can turn a quick lunch break into a frustrating ordeal. If you're an expat yearning to savor the city's culinary gems but find yourself short on time or patience, you can, of course, turn to the plethora of food delivery options available in the city. But there’s a reason why GrabFood is the leading food delivery platform in Southeast Asia.

GrabFood offers a user-friendly platform that connects you with a vast selection of Bangkok's most popular restaurants, including hidden gems and local favorites. The best part? Many restaurants boast detailed English menus on GrabFood, making it a breeze to order your favorite dishes without any language barriers.

So that’s good news for those who can’t discern Thai script from hieroglyphics, because you can switch between Thai and English menus on the GrabFood app. That means no more struggling to decipher what som tam pla ra actually is. Just tap-tap-tap your way to "Settings" in the Grab app, then hit "Language & input" and choose "English." Easy as pie (or should we say, mango sticky rice?).

Now imagine craving that steaming plate of Pad Thai from that renowned street vendor you discovered on your last motorbike adventure. But the thought of battling the lunchtime crowd sends shivers down your spine. With GrabFood, all it takes, again, is a few taps on your smartphone to place your order and have it delivered straight to your doorstep (or office!). Say goodbye to long queues and hello to a stress-free dining experience.

Using GrabFood, you can explore a curated selection of Bangkok's most celebrated restaurants, all conveniently categorized. Whether you're in the mood for authentic Thai cuisine, global tastes, or even bubble tea, GrabFood has something to satisfy every craving.

That includes the city’s Thai legends, like Nara Thai Cuisine. The chain is ubiquitous for a reason—it’s particularly celebrated for its boat noodles and authentic Thai dishes, combining high quality ingredients with age-old recipes. On GrabFood, you can order anything from pad Thai to crab fried rice from Nara, and you can certainly grab (no pun intended) more bang for your buck by ordering the restaurant’s value sets.

Another Thai favorite is Pad Thai Old Town, which, you guessed it, specializes in pad Thai (especially the egg-wrapped variety). They also do great curry on rice, samtum, and fried pork belly—all of which are available to order via GrabFood.

We recognize, of course, that Bangkok is not only a melting pot of Thai cuisine, but international flavors, too. GrabFood features international chains like the Bangkok-based The Pizza Company, which is the biggest pizza chain in the country. On GrabFood, all of the restaurant’s favorites are available, comprising a variety of crusts, toppings, and sizes. You can also order pasta, salad, chicken wings, and garlic bread to complete your meal. 

Another restaurant that offers comforting familiarity is Potato Corner. This Filipino franchise specializes in flavored fries, such as barbecue, cheese, sour cream, and chili barbecue. You can also choose from different cuts, such as shoestring, wedge, or loopy. As with most fries, it’s difficult to have just one, so we recommend going for the Giga or Tera buckets—both of which are available on GrabFood.

For a delightful bubble tea fix, you can cool down with a refreshing drink from Kamu Tea, from which you can order the likes of the bobi boba ancient Thai milk tea, or the dark cocoa + mas-kamo-ne’ cheese cream if you’re feeling decadent. Over at KOI Thé, another chain with a huge and loyal following, everything they’re beloved for, from the Koi Thai tea to black bubble tea to mango green tea macchiato, are available on GrabFood.

Now that your heart’s set on what you’d like to eat, allow us to walk you through the simple ordering process on GrabFood. As you can see in the image above, you can begin by selecting “Food” from the list of services on the Grab app. Then, ensure that the delivery address is correct. After you search for your desired restaurant and select dishes to order, don’t forget to tap “Use Offers to get discounts” on the checkout page. Select an offer to get a sizable cut on your total fee or other forms of benefits, such as GrabRewards points. Finally, tap “Place to Order” and wait for your delicious food to be delivered.

Don't let language barriers or long queues hold you back from experiencing Bangkok's phenomenal F&B scene.
