4 months agoIG: @melvineateat One of my go-to spots for shark’s fin in Bangkok—no need to trek to Chinatown. Comfortable air-conditioned space, decent size, and consistently good quality. 8/10 $$ (2000–3000 THB) Large Braised Shark’s Fin with Crab Meat (2000 THB) – 8/10 Great value vs SG. Generous strands of fin in a rich, savoury brown broth. Customise with parsley, bean sprouts, vinegar, and pepper to lift the flavours. Crab Meat Fried Rice – 7/10 Well-executed with egg and decent crab meat. Pairs nicely with fish sauce, though lacking that wok hei punch.

3 months agoI went there based on fantastic reviews on Google. The actual fact is as follow: 1) The food is over-rated by reviewers. 2) Atmosphere is nostalgic & clean. 3) Servers are attentive 4) Walking distance to Asok BTS(7mins) Pleasant dining experience overall. Last but not least, the food tasted normally nice and not that fantastic as you read in the reviews. Been to alot of places that serve sharkfins in Bkk, you will be surprised there're better option out there. Definitely OVER-RATED.

4 months agoMy favourite restaurant in Bangkok! I always make it a point to come. Always a highlight for my trip. Love the food - super delicious, authentic Thai Teochew flavours that you can’t find elsewhere. My go-to is the fish maw soup, super comforting . They now even offer frozen packs for you to bring home!!! It’s cooked and frozen upon request. Doesn’t get any fresher than this. The other favourite is the prawn vermicelli. 🥰🥰🥰

6 months agoGot into a nostalgic private room for our group of 12. While walking in we get to see all all the picture with all the asian celebrities that had been at this restaurent on the wall. 😯 The people are nice. The food was pretty good, i discoverted a few dishes i never tried before. Its an experience to try at lease once in a life time. But i would definelly return to get the fried noodle with shredded chicken.

4 weeks agoThe food is on a totally different level. The umami is heavenly. Had the fish maw soup which was amazing. And the goose web feet noodle is the killer.. mind blowingly superb.
