Updated Review:
So... I believe that eating local cuisine is one of the best ways to experience a city or country.
I think that one of the best meals one can eat in Bangkok is the roast chicken at Nittaya Kai Yang. Seriously. I have been here many times, and the food is consistently perfect.

There is no roast chicken in the world that comes even remotely close to this roast chicken. To paraphrase Quentin Tarantino: If you’re gonna compare a Nittaya Kai Yang roast chicken... you compare it to every other roast chicken ever made - wasn’t made - by Nittaya Kai Yang. In other words... if you like roast chicken, then you must add this to your bucket list.
I reluctantly post this because I want to make sure I can always get a table... but... if you ever come to Bangkok then you must come here and order the roast chicken. You will thank me. (Tell them that Todd sent you.)

If you plan to go there, I suggest you arrive early for both lunch and dinner otherwise it can be crowded. I am not sure the opening time, but they are ready to serve before 11...
