Best Restaurants in Chinatown, Bangkok

Restaurants in Chinatown, Bangkok fill Yaowarat and Charoen Krung. Wholesale markets run by day, then street food stalls and sit-down kitchens take over at night. Pad thai, Teochew dishes and old family restaurants share the same few streets.

Many shopfront kitchens focus on one dish, so decide on the dish first and then look for the shop. Ask the staff what the kitchen is known for before you order.

Getting there: MRT Wat Mangkon and MRT Hua Lamphong are the nearest stops. Ratchawong pier serves Chao Phraya boats.

At the time of writing (October 2026), listings include Thipsamai Padthai Pratoopee, a pad thai restaurant, White Flower, RONGROS and Hua Seng Hong Restaurant @Yaowarat Road.

Before you choose: the busiest hours are after sunset, and Yaowarat Road fills with people. Go early for a seat, and check the last-order time, because several kitchens stop serving well before closing.
