Som Song Potchana — Restaurant in Wat Sam Phraya Subdistrict

One of the most authentic & delicious meals we had in Bangkok! Super local and dishes we had never seen before.

Small, unassuming place, menu is in Thai only but you can choose what you want from the display.

We got everything that was recommended to us by a local friend - green Thai curry with freshwater fish balls, pork and mango salad & this amazing rice noodle dish with coconut cream, pineapple and dried shrimp. Mind blown! The sweet server also recommended we get pork noodle with crispy pork fat. Yum! And nice homemade iced tea. All this for under 300฿ 🤯

Go here if you’re looking for a local Thai meal....

I went there yesterday at 12:40 and แกงเขียวหวานเนื้อ Thai beef green curry was already sold out... Anyway, we ordered 5 dishes (For two). The main dish that you need to try is ขนมจีนซาวน้ำ Kanom jeen sao nahm which is vermicelli with pineapple, coconut milk, raw garlic, chili, and shrimp powder. Their noodles is also great, soft and thin, just right. My favorite is กะเพราเนื้อ Beef stirred fried with Thai holy basils.

Another one that you need to try is ข้าวฟางเปียก Kao fang pieak which is similar to a rice pudding but with millet, coconut milk and pandan....

Without question, the best food we have eaten in Bangkok. The food tastes like you are visiting home and your mother is cooking. Everything here is delicious, especially the beef curry, papaya salad, and tom yum soup. For the people complaining about their service being slow: this restaurant is run by an older couple and they are super busy with local customers. Just come here to enjoy the food and you won't be...
