Bangkok Chinatown Hidden Restaurant Tour: Top 5 Local Recommended Restaurants


Bangkok Chinatown is a place with a variety of restaurants, and there are many hidden restaurants loved by locals. In this article, I will introduce the top 5 restaurants in Chinatown recommended by locals, and explain the features and menus of each restaurant in detail.


Chinatown Scala

This is a place where you can eat shark fin at a low price. I went there to try shark fin. And since it is a very old Chinese restaurant, I was curious about what the shark fin made by Chinese people tastes like, so I visited. You can taste Chinese dishes that you have always been curious about at a low price, so if you are interested in Chinese cuisine, I recommend visiting. I personally remember that Chinese restaurants in Malaysia and Thailand were all great. This restaurant also has a great atmosphere, so I recommend visiting.


Characteristics: This is a Chinese restaurant with a long history, where you can taste authentic Chinese cuisine. It is especially famous for its variety and delicious dim sum. Menu: Various Chinese dishes including dim sum, fried rice, and noodles

Reason for recommendation: Recommended for those who want to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine in a clean and neat atmosphere.


T & K Seafood

Actually, I visited this restaurant with my Thai friends in the evening. If you have a group, I recommend visiting this place. You can taste really fresh Thai seafood dishes, and the atmosphere is also good enough to enjoy the food while drinking beer. They sell various menus, and lobster is the representative dish. Since our group wanted to eat a variety of dishes, we couldn't order expensive ones, which was a shame. Instead, I tried Thai Tom Yum Kung for the first time here, and it was really delicious. However, this place is really noisy, so if you don't like noisy atmospheres, I recommend visiting another quiet place.


Characteristics: This is a seafood restaurant popular with locals, with fresh seafood dishes. In particular, lobster dishes are famous.

Menu: Various seafood dishes including lobster, shrimp, and crab

Reason for recommendation: Recommended for those who want to enjoy fresh seafood at a low price.


Nai-ek Roll Noodle

The signature menu here is the roll noodle. There are many menus, but I recommend the fried pork rice bowl. The reason I recommend this place is because it is very clean in terms of hygiene and the happiness that comes from the taste that has been recognized by Michelin and various broadcasts. In fact, this restaurant is so famous that I am worried whether I should introduce it separately, but it is a place that is so delicious that I cannot help but tell you about it, so I recommend that you visit at least once. The recommended menus here are the pork belly rice bowl and the pig's feet rice bowl. I remember being so happy eating it while sweating in the hot summer.


Characteristics: This is a famous Kuai Jap (chewy noodles) restaurant in Chinatown. The chewy noodles and rich soup are the best, and it is popular with both locals and tourists.

Menu: Kuai Jap, pork intestine dish

Reason for recommendation: Recommended for those who want to try the Kuai Jap that locals enjoy.


Kuway Chap U-Eun Pochana

Once you enter the restaurant and order the menu, the staff can speak Korean, so you can order in a comfortable atmosphere. They also explain each menu and recommend what to eat, so you don't have to worry about choosing the menu. The food here is so delicious that I wonder if there was anything more delicious than this in Bangkok. Bangkok street food is so great that it deserves a Michelin star, but this place really offers the best taste. The meat broth is so delicious that I always thought I could eat only this while eating the food. So, you should definitely try the noodles here.


Characteristics: This place is famous for its Chinatown Kuway Chap with Nai Ek Roll Noodles. You can enjoy Kuway Chap in a more local atmosphere than Nai Ek Roll Noodles.


Menu: Kuway Chap, various noodle dishes

Reason for recommendation: Recommended for those who want to enjoy Kuway Chap like the locals.


Lucky Ngou (ลัคกี้ โหงว)

If you have a meal, you must have dessert. This time, I will introduce you to a place where you can taste a really special dessert. This place had a special dessert ice cream flavor that I have never tasted anywhere else, and the plate in the bowl had a very unique shape. This was also a bowl that I have never seen anywhere else. And the atmosphere here was also really nice. Personally, I think it was much more comfortable and nice than the atmosphere I felt at Starbucks or other franchises. However, the price was a little expensive. I ordered one ice cream, and honestly, I thought it was a little expensive for the amount.


Still, the comfort of a small shop and the fact that you can taste delicious desserts are reasons to visit this place.


Characteristics: A place where you can taste various kinds of Chinese desserts, and mango bingsu is especially famous.

Menu: Mango bingsu, red bean bingsu, various Chinese desserts
