New Heng Kee — Restaurant in Si Phraya Subdistrict

Found New Heng Kee on Google Maps and trusted our guts to go dine there, we never regretted it. We were welcomed by the owner, who is now 83 year-old and is still very involved in the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. He was kind and always happy to chat with his customers. He helped us with the menu because he seemed to be the only one who could speak English there. Yes, there is an English menu with a variety of food but it doesn't have many photos, so he recommended some best-selling dishes to us. The food was so authentic that it felt like our childhood comfort food. Some of my favorites include the wontons with delicate soup, the stir-fried cabbage with super tender pork, and especially the stuffed chili peppers (OMG!). The prices at New Heng Kee are very reasonable, considering the quality of the food. The restaurant, including the toilet, is also very clean and well-maintained. I love how the family has decorated the space with love, using old photos of the owner and traditional furniture with strong characteristics. New Heng Kee just makes me feel like home and I would definitely come back for the food and the...

And I kept coming back here again and again for the food. They basically reminded me of the food that welcome you back home or your nextdoor restaurant if you living in a Chinese-Thai commercial area.

Some might found the service here is a little bit confusing and slow, please stay calm, it worth the waited 😊 the style of the restaurant is still using old school system such as hand written order (by yourself) calculate bills by hand (let them know if mistakes) and they are busy all day.

I admire the way they keep the old recipe since opening (the black board in video shows the original menu and price like seriously 5 baht!!)

Recommended dish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Set menu (so you can try a little of this and that) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️โกยซีหมี่ Crispy noodle with bamboo gravy sauce, this will taste tingling at beginning and after that you will find it unstoppable (the potion is huge, if come alone I recommend to order from set menu)

There are 2 floor, bottom floor is hot and noisy but you can see them cooking just in-front of you😉 Second...

Old-school Thai-Chinese spot that feels reassuringly local — in an area crawling with tourists, everyone inside was Thai. Always a good sign.

The Pad See Eew came with proper wok hei credentials, though it was leaning towards the dry side and could’ve used a bit more flavor magic. The Sweet and Sour Pork? Delicious. Just… gone in about three bites. Same story for the Shrimps with Yellow Curry Powder — sauce was spot on, heavy on that classic celery kick — but three lonely little shrimps? Really?

Morning Glory stir-fried nicely, no complaints there. Prices are fair, but portions run on the petite side. Still, tasty food, authentic atmosphere....
