ctira Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 "American Fried Rice" served at a shag next to an apartment complex doesn't do justice when I want a real, authentic American meal (by the way when did raisins, sausage, and ketchup become U.S. symbols?). Where are good foreign restaurants in Bangkok? I like "Beirut" on Silom road for a casual middle eastern meal. Roadhouse on Surawong road has the "american bar" feels with great tasting food. Where do you go dine and what dish(es) do you recommend? Suggestions on any type of restaurants are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyd Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Last time I was in Bangkok I went to the Bull's Head and another bar which was like a sports bar not far from Bull's Head (can't remember the name, but i'm sure people will know) They both do really nice, really big Cheeseburgers, and the chips were good too.

Oberkommando Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Bull's Head is muck. The vast majority of Western restaurants in Bangkok are very poor indeed unless you are willing to splurge and go upmarket to Lord Jim's or equivalent. I ate in the Dubliner recently. Terrible food and extortionate prices, seems to be par for the course in Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattias33 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I enjoy the bayoke skytower buffé much because it has much af all things we normaly eat in restaurants back hoe.

Pushit Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 "American Fried Rice" served at a shag next to an apartment complex doesn't do justice when I want a real, authentic American meal (by the way when did raisins, sausage, and ketchup become U.S. symbols?). Since the Vietnam war, for sure, was it Josh came up with the raisins etc? anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldar1 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Le Banyan on soi 8 for french <---- By far my fav restaurant in thailand and my 3rd fav french restaurant in Asia L'Opera Suk soi 39 for Italian (not as good as it used to be) New york steakhouse in the Marriott for a decent steak. I used to go to china house for chinese, but the last 2 times i was there the food was not that good, so it's not really worth the trip all the way across town for it.

DP25 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 There is no where in Bangkok that recreates the taste of 'home' for me. The closest in Thailand would be Miguel's in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man River Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Taste of home? For me, McDonalds. What is more American than McDonalds? KFC is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myauq Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 burger king - magnifique first class venue to luncheon with clients, though i notice they tend to go a bit overboard with the sauce here in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullservice Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I do crave good pizza and steaks sometimes and even though I didn't want to post it that all of you can enjoy it i guess its your lucky day. You will love it (if you know what good thin and crispy italian pizza is like and not some fat american one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphodbeeblebrox Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm from L.A., and neither Sunrise nor Tacos & Salsa remind me of home. Koi, Suk 20, does. Koi Bangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froglegisgood Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Italian - la villa, thonglor soi 9. Italian with great food (fusion asian-european somehow), managed by the guy who used to run the winebar of l'opera. That's where I take my customers French - sukhumvit soi 8, at the end at the back, i think le banyan also Indigo in soi saladaeng, which after a downhill period is catching up, great meat for people who like it "bleu", not US burnt sole style japanese food - Tensui - sukhumvit soi 16 American - can this be qualified as food? heard burgers at the entrance of nana plaza are quite tasty North African - if you like coucous, crepe & co on sukhumvit is not bad Cheeza is a bit general and has great menus, good cooked dishes Home anything... I recommend they have a great new website, so easy to order, they have the largest selection of good restaurants in bkk and they are quite good in delivering on time. When we can't be bothered going out, it is a good alternative. I am sure there are many good ones I can not remember but this is a good first list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 American - can this be qualified as food? heard burgers at the entrance of nana plaza are quite tastyBourbon Street - for one - is quite good, but perhaps not meant for the ignorant.

jrbkk64 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 French: Le Beaulieu, suk soi 19. In my humble opinion the BEST restaurant in BKK/Thailand, Le Normandie, Oriental Hotel is very good too but too formal for me. Italian: Giusto, suk. soi 23, Gianni soi Thonson Seafood: Lord Jim's Oriental Hotel Swiss: Chesa, suk. soi 20, is pretty good but not special Casual try Tapas suk. soi 11. Convenient, food ok!

Gold2005 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I always like the buffet at the Marriott on the river. Get the free boat from Saphan Thaksin pier. Old rice barge takes you to the hotel. Good value for what you get and worth every baht. Food is great and lovely setting. But not for the 100 baht meal seekers Take a couple of thousand baht with you. But lovely place and food variety is outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
