Khrua Khun Kung — Restaurant in Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict

We stumbled across this hidden gem from searching on Google Maps, and it took us a bit of asking around to find the exact location, but this is definitely a restaurant that you should try if you're visiting the Grand Palace and Wat Pho.

Located inside the Navy Club, you'll need to walk into the Navy Club carpark and towards the river to find the blue signboard saying restaurant. Thanks to its slightly hidden location, you don't get hordes of tourists from the palace cramping up the place, but it still does get substantial traffic from the locals and tourists with tour guides.

The restaurant serves mainly seafood dishes and Thai food. The fish is popular but you'll need to wait 30 minutes for it. We ordered the curry crab with eggs, squid and vege.

This place seems to cater for large tour groups which we noticed were given priority. Nobody came to take our order, had to almost physically grab a waiter to get attention.

Asked if the morning glory was also coming and the waiter nodded and disappeared. Half way through our duck a waiter asked if we had ordered morning glory! We told him to cancel it as it was too late now. Would you believe it turned up just as we had finished. We rejected it saying it was now too late. Rated as 2 star as the duck was OK and at least they did adjust the bill not to include the morning glory. To sum up - food OK,...

This is the lowest quality restaurant experience I've had in Bangkok at this price point.

The bathroom is gross and there's no hand soap even after we asked. Might be why it's the only eatery that got everyone in my party (4 of us are southeast Asian native) food poisoning the next day. We are sure of it because it's the only new place we've been to in the past few days. Some of us ended up with stained sheets due to vomiting.

Although there's English on the menu, the receipt is all in Thai. They brought out the wrong dish and insisted we pay for it. Unfortunately we couldn't speak Thai so it's hard for us to stand up...
