Supanniga Eating Room Tha Tien — Restaurant in Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict

We booked the table 15 days in advance before going there because we wanted to sit on the top floor with a full view of Wat Arun and the river. It was super busy when we got there. The waiter took us to the top floor, straight to our table closer to the river side and it had a clear view to Wat Arun. It was 5PM and it was still sunny. The sunset was not there yet. We sat there with the sunlight on our faces and like other people there, we opened our umbrellas. We expected sunset and we were early for sunset. It was so fun that everyone hid under the umbrellas. I ordered a Jai Yen Yen blend and when they brought it out in a 2 liter bottle.The color of the drink was so beautiful and it tasted lightly sweet with a green smell of butterfly pea flowers. Our first dish was mieng yong which was dried shredded pork, peanuts and sweet roasted coconut wrapped in cha plu leaves. It was presented in a shot cup and I felt like we would have a shot of starter. I never had raw cha plu leaves before and I didn’t think that I could make them raw. The old leaves had a stronger smell and I usually used them to make fried pork wrapped in cha plu leaves or used it like other herbs to add some notes to the soup or braised dishes. It was super delicious.Everything blended together perfectly. Another recommended dishes was Yum Crispy leaf fish. Fish was crunchy, herbs smelled awesome and a little spicy. They went very well with the sweet and sour sauce. The taste was boom. We liked it very much that everytime we talked about that day, it was the first thing we remembered. Another dish we tried was Tom Khloang Pla Nue Ain Krob. My taste buds weren’t back to normal so I still couldn’t eat too much spicy food. It didn’t mean that the food was not good, it was that I had some problems. The soup was spicy but I couldn’t stop eating it. It was so good. The mushrooms were fresh and crunchy. Like other Thai dishes, they used a lot of herbs and spices to make the soup smell like heaven and easier to deliver umami taste to people. We ordered some simple dishes with rice then finished our meal with Thai tea panna cotta. It was smooth and creamy with the taste of Thai milk tea and we loved it. Last time we tried Chang beer so this time, we tried Singha beer. After the first sip, I realized Singha beer was stronger than Chang beer and the taste of beer was stronger too. Still it was not as bitter as those other beers we tried in other parts of the world. I remembered when we had a free drink in Rome, we tried beer. It was not strong and the taste was bitter. It went very well with crispy onion rings we ordered as a side dish.At 5.30 PM, we didn’t have to use the umbrellas anymore. The sun slowly went down to the horizon. A cloud covered part of the sun and the light went down to the temple like it was light from heaven. As it was getting darker, the light was on and we got to see another image of Wat Arun.We finished our dinner at 7PM as the staff reminded us when they started cleaning the roof top area. I suddenly understood why they only allowed people to be there until 7PM. It was dark there and if they turned all the lights on, we couldn’t see Wat Arun as clearly as we...

I specifically reserved a riverside view of the Chao Phraya on the roof during sunset for my wife and I’s anniversary (included in the reservation notes). We travel to many countries and visit many Michelin restaurants around the world and we’re excited to try Supanniga in her home country because this restaurant was also on the list.

I reserved the table months ahead of time for our anniversary celebration, but when we arrived the staff seated us far away from the riverside view. We thought this seating was a mistake, and asked about the tables overlooking the river with the “reserved” signs on top. They told my wife in Thai that those tables were reserved by other customers. We mentioned that it had to be a mistake because I reserved one of those tables months ago. The staff did not try to accommodate us and ignored our request, which was quite unprofessional.

This could be ignored if not for the fact that when we ordered our food, it arrived far too quickly. We didn’t think this was suspicious at the time because of how hungry we were. We ordered several dishes and drinks, trying to ignore our bad view of the river and enjoy our celebration, but hours later we developed severe food poisoning. This restaurant was our only meal for the day; we were left with vomiting and diarrhea for the rest of the night.

For a Michelin star restaurant, if the service is going to rude and unaccommodating during our celebration, we would at least expect food safety standards to be met -at the bare minimum-. Food safety aside, the food taste was just ok and mid-level at best.

I’m not the type of person to leave a review, but this has to go down as one of the worst restaurant experiences of my life, our worst anniversary by far, and certainly needs -a lot- of work to be on-par with all other Michelin star restaurants; in Bangkok and also worldwide. As the restaurant currently stands, it doesn’t meet the Michelin star standards at all. I cannot in good conscience...

Have eaten at Supanigga Eating Room numerous times now, though always at their Thong Lo branch.

Visited their Tha Tien location in Aug 2024 and again a few months later.

This location is definitely better in terms of food, service, location and vibe.

If you can, reserve their outdoor location (terrace/rooftop). If you want to sit closer to the river select "riverview" for an unobstructed view of Wat Arun.

The food was great. Ordered the crab curry, tom yum goong (creamy), fried mushrooms and stir fried cabbage. The crab curry was fresh and didn't have any fishy taste,. though it's spicy and rich. The tom yum is more than enough prawns with some chunky bits of mushrooms and baby onions.

The fried mushrooms are exquisite, ask for their spicy sauce and chopped chillies with fish sauce on the side. This adds an additional kick (if you can handle the spice).

If you like to experiment a bit, dip the fried mushrooms in the spicy crab curry for the extra zing!

For dessert had the coconut ice cream with mango sticky rice, which was okay.

Though on a previous occasion had the Thai Tea Pannacotta, which is flavourful and delicious.

They are always busy, so reserve online in advance. I'm assuming there is no parking around, as it's located at the end of a small street in Bangkok's old town.

The outdoors can be loud with the boats moving, music and people talking. Though it's still easy to speak to your group at the table comfortably...
