September might seem a little boring with no holidays but that’s all the more reason to treat yourself to a new meal and get hyped. BK has gathered our picks of new eateries, including an award-winning Burmese teahouse, spiced up Mediterranean seafood, ramen and boat noodle specialties, and other spots that are freshly opened and ready to try. 

 

 

The recently opened cafe, Jsu a la Maison (read as Jay Su, like the famous Michelin resto Jay Fai) is serving moderately sweet donuts and drinks at Udom Suk’s latest community space. The Fat Kid Set (B139) comes with six mini donuts and one plain. The rest is filled with Biscoff, chocolate, vanilla, earl gray, and lemon curd. For the coffee lovers, we recommend J’su Coffee (B120) which throws bits of Biscoff cookies into the mix. The result is a well balanced caramelized cup of joe with two donut toppings.
 

 

 

Dubbed one of the World’s Best Tea Houses by CNN and inducted in the list of “Essence of Asia” by World’s 50 Best, the decorated Rangoon Tea House has finally expanded to the streets of Thonglor. Like Thai cuisine, Burmese food has its own diversity. You can spot dishes with influences from India, China, and ethnic minority groups around the country. Since the menu is quite large, we recommend trying the Ceylon milk tea (B115) with a layer of milk skin delicacies on top and go for their four fish mohinga (B290) which is similar to Thai kanomjean but with an assortment of fritters for you to dunk in the rich broth.

 

 

 

Zaolarb has merged with Zao Ekkamai leaving a brand new niche restaurant in its place. Saole’s dining concept takes culinary cues from the sea to the mountains. It shines with European-style crustaceans and fish but also doesn’t forget to incorporate wild cards like frog and wild boar on the list. The dishes can be tailored to your palette, so you can choose between authentic western dishes and a cheek-flushing journey through spice. 

 

 

 

After more than 12 years, Quince will be saying goodbye to BKK. But not for long, as they’ll be launching a new Italian joint Tabula Rasa in its place on Sep 9. The new name derives from restaurant Taverna Tabula Rasa in Zurich, Switzerland, home of their incoming chef Ivan Nardozza. Their socials have already been teasing anticipated diners with items like the fresh tomato sardine toast and the lamb neck agnolotti.

 

 

 

If you haven’t been to Random Museum – Tuba’s collaboration with furniture store Papaya Studio and impressionist artist “Give me Museum”  – then this is the month to cross it off your list. Order the Vibrant Valley Ravioli (B350), a pocket of beef and truffle filling served in a pool of spicy margarita sauce. Apart from the snacks and mains, there are mocktails, curated furniture, a photo booth area, and a cookie decorating sesh for you to pack in as much joy as you can in one small visit. The pop up will last until Oct 14.

 

 

 

The world famous ramen joint Mensho Tokyo with branches from Bangkok to San Francisco reopened last month after a brief renovation period. The return features warm tone fixtures reflecting their comforting noodles and belly-warming broth. Amongst the new BKK additions is the GKO, short for Garlic Knock Out (B390), a bowl which created quite the buzz in other branches using their signature Tori Paitan base—a rich broth made from 8 hour boiled chicken—and fusing it with five kinds of garlic. 

 

 

 

Iberry group has struck gold once again with another specialty restaurant, this time serving up Thai-Hainanese-style khao mun gai, meaning chicken rice, at Toh Kim. Their boiled chicken is raised on an open farm and pre-marinated before sizzling it up in front of the house to get that fresh off-the-skillet texture. Take your pick between five sauces and accompanying finger foods. 

 

 

 

The F&B food group “It Happened to be a Closet”—behind the success of names like the experimental Thai resto Ega and the Italian joint A Pink Rabbit + Bob—has established a new boat noodle noodle spot at booming Bantadthong. With the popularity of the street comes skyrocketing food prices. However, Black Me-O Boat Noodle ladles mini bowls of goodies at the affordable price of B30. But don’t underestimate the size. It might be tiny but the soup packs a punch with its roasted chili.

 

 

 

Mitsos brings flavorful European and Mediterranean seafood to the table with Chef Dimitrios Moudios of Ore helming this newly opened kitchen. Their produce is served crudo style, on toasts, and infused with some creative pasta ideas. Those who love their red meat can also enjoy some wagyu striploin steak and end the meal with the mouth watering, Cheesecake Factory-inspired strawberry millefeuille.

 

 

 

Hailing all the way from New Delhi, the lauded Indian Accent restaurant is setting up a one month pop up at Anantara Siam that’ll last until October 5. Placing at No.26 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024, head chef Shantanu Mehrotra will be recreating his award-winning lunch and dinner dining experience in a tasting menu and a la carte style.
