Kin Lom Chom Saphan — Restaurant in Wat Sam Phraya Subdistrict

This restaurant is right next to the river. The location offers a nice view of Rama VIII Bridge. You need to make sure you reserve a table in advance. We were lucky to show up to get a table somewhat close to the river before the dinner rush. Sadly, we were right next to a small area that the restaurant has set aside as a smoking area. (Given the fact that new smoking laws have recently come into effect at the time I wrote this review, the restaurant needs to seriously rethink allowing smokers to smoke right next to tables where people are eating.)

Regardless of a smoking area stuck right next to the side of the restaurant, I do recommend this place. I strongly suggest you arrive before 6 p.m. to order your food as I noticed many tables were waiting a while for their dishes. However, from what I saw, many of the guests stayed for a longer time as they were also ordering drinks. They had a wide range of drinks at a reasonable price.

The food was a tad more expensive than other popular Thai restaurants, but most of us enjoyed everything that we ordered. However, we felt cheated with the pineapple fried rice. The picture on the menu made it look like half of a huge pineapple would be hollowed out to contain rice whereas we got a very small pineapple. The same price I have paid in the past at other restaurants for pineapple fried rice always got normal-sized large pineapples, not the baby pineapple they served us. I kid you not, if I had wanted to, I could have held the amount of rice we got in my hand as it was barely one cup of rice.

They did have a live band that may have been too loud if we sat near where they were playing. The quality of music was satisfactory.

TIPS -If you want a riverside dining experience, this is a nice restaurant to go to but you will need a car as it is not easy to get to or find without Google Maps. -Make a reservation. -You should also arrive slightly before the 6 p.m. dinner rush and insist that you not sit right next to their smoking area (on the right of the restaurant if you're...

We were recommended this restaurant by our staff at our hostel and we had a beautiful night here.

This restaurant is on Samsan soi 3, a 5 minute tuktuk ride away from khaosan road. It's right next to the river just next to the Rama viii bridge.

It has absolutely stunning views over the chao praya river and Rama viii bridge and a very nice breeze coming over it in the evening.

There was also an enthusiastic live band who were reasonably good but not to my tastes.

We had seabass, beef massaman, chicken cashew nut and mixed vegetable salad. The curries were delicious but portions were not generous. We shared our food amongst five and there was not enough meat for everyone to try. Sea bass was cooked beautifully and I can recommend this. A friend chose the salad thinking it would be something interesting but was chopped onions lettuce and shredded carrots (not interesting).

Overall it was a good experience with great ambience and service. The portions were smaller than average so I would not recommend sharing curries here. The food was delicious.

Finally we were a group of girls and the restaurant staff let us go to khaosan road on their tuktuk free...
