เกาเหลาสมองหมูไทยทำ — Restaurant in San Chao Pho Suea Subdistrict

Pork Brain Soup (Kaolao Samong Moo) – Phraeng Nara Neighborhood (near the Tiger God Shrine)

If you’re someone who enjoys trying rare or unique dishes, this hidden gem is a must-visit. This old-school spot is tucked inside a vintage wooden building in the heart of the city, full of classic charm that feels like stepping back in time. Despite the nostalgic setting, the kitchen — located right at the front — is clean and well-organized.

Signature Dish: • Pork Brain Soup – The broth is rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. It comes with various types of meatballs — some firm, some bouncy — and generous chunks of pork brain. Surprisingly, the brain is very clean, tender, and not gamey at all. • Steamed Rice – Light, fluffy, and dry-grained — a perfect match with the soup. • Liver Sausage (Gun Chiang Tub) – Displayed in a glass case out front. It’s a must-try! Firm, flavorful, with a slight liver aroma. Tastes amazing with a drizzle of sweet soy sauce.

Atmosphere: Medium-sized restaurant with several tables. The open kitchen is right at the entrance, letting you see everything being freshly prepared. Customers come and go throughout the day, but it never feels overcrowded.

Owner: The sweet grandma who runs the place is incredibly kind and polite — it feels like visiting a relative’s home for a comforting meal.

Overall: Perfect for adventurous eaters looking for something different but genuinely delicious. Clean, affordable, and full of charm. A taste of old Bangkok that’s hard to find these days.

Rating: 5/5 – For rare ingredients, great flavor,...

Quite surprising they use a clear soups, unlike most stall selling pig offal will uses strong pepper or vege pickled soup-bases to hide offal odours tastes. They pig brain dish is not easy available and the offal have to clean very carefully, even so there is still traces of the origin offal taste in it (maybe not like by most people). They have to be respect to keep the their traditional and authentic to prepare it, which is really difficult to find at my hometown and southeast asia chinese Community. Lastly the lady is still in the stall to greet...

Have you ever eaten Pork Brain? If not, must try. It is my first experience trying it today and yes I find it a bit strange with the texture. But indeed I love this restaurant. So rich in history and the deep root in great attention on details especially the presentation and selecting the best ingredients with such an affordable price.

MUST try all the small side dishes. Super tasty and yet the price is truly reasonable. If you are in the area don’t miss it.
