If you're interested in discovering a hidden gem for local cuisine from the north-eastern region of Thailand, particularly E-san foods like BBQ Grilled Pork, Somtam, and Fried Chicken, I highly recommend Yum Sab Restaurant. Getting there is quite convenient and easily accessible on foot. Simply start your journey in front of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
There, you'll find a local boat service here, which can take you across the river. On the opposite side of the river called "Wat Suwan", and you can hop on a local boat for just 5 baht per person. After a brief one-minute walk, you'll reach the restaurant. On the boat, you will find a beautiful scenery of Bangkok riverside where Icon Siam and Mandarin Oriental Hotel are located. The food at Yum Sab Restaurant is not only delicious but also affordable and prepared with great hygiene standards. E-san cuisine is known for being reasonably priced, and the flavors are both delightful and not overly spicy.

The place was inside the alley, very hidden, because you have to go by foot to go inside the restaurant. Not that far from the road tho, if you come with taxi 👌🏻

First time we entered the resto, it was empty, because we had a late lunch ~2PM. But, i didn't hesitate to eat here because once we arrived there were bunch of people just finished and their plates were very clean, then i just knew it was good.
We ordered the pork meat, tom yam and papaya salad for people of two. The meat perfectly cooked, the tom yam taste rich but not to sour (which the way i like) and lastly their papaya salad was so refreshing! with a bit crunchyness with the nuts. All in all, BEST lunch ever in Bangkok 🔥🔥
Worth to try if you are nearby and looking for complete Thai lunch...
Read moreHands down. This is the best tom yum I have ever had in my life. You think you got the OG one on the other side of town? Try this one before you speak my dear friend. We were just about angry because of our endless confusion knowing our lunch place is already closed. So we had to explore google maps once again and made determination of dining something good. We got here by accident and even the locals eat here. The place is located inside a narrow alley.
We ordered tpm yum, papaya salad, and pork fries. The pallette is not for weaklings because it is spicy!
I WILL recommend this to anyone looking for savory meals because its...
