pianoman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I have a good friend who although living in Bangkok for many years, he rarely ventures out past his normal back and forth, to and from, work... Oh, and the weekly trip to villa & foodland for shopping.... Anyway, yesterday he was wishing that he knew a decent to good place to get a Rubin Sandwich in Bangkok, so I thought I would ask for suggestions to pass along to him... He lives and works around the Sukumitt / Asoke area, so close to that would be best, but he is willing to travel a bit if the suggested place is really good... Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions... Pianoman Edited February 8, 2014 by pianoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Reuben. I can't help with Bangkok but there's a couple of places here in CM, the best one however is the one I make myself, they're not difficult to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Don't know if it's the best, but Dean & Deluca serves them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The OP may wish to plug the following into his browser and see what google comes up with, there's loads of good leads to restaurant magazines and places claiming to have really good reubens, too many to useful post here: reuben sandwich bangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbusman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 From experience, the Landmark does a pretty good job. On a 1-10 scale with Cantors being about a 8, Landmark is a good solid 6 or 7. The NYCC (New York Cheese Cake Deli) in CDC puts out a pretty good 6 but usually out of pastrami, I think they import it from the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issangeorge Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Larry's Dive on Soi 24 not far from your friend serves a pretty good one. The Derby King on Patong 1 use to serve a good one, but last time I was there it was off their menu. What about in Kalasin Piano man any place there serve a good one?

attrayant Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 the best one however is the one I make myself, they're not difficult to make. No they're not. Sauerkraut and emmenthaler is easy enough to find, and thousand island dressing is easy to make from common fridge ingredients, but where do you get corned beef and rye bread? And if I have to travel 50 km to some specialty bakery and then another to some epicurious butcher, it no longer qualifies as "not difficult to make".

anotheruser Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Not hard to make unless you live in Nakhon Nowhere. If you are in Bangkok or other cities all can be easily found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 the best one however is the one I make myself, they're not difficult to make. No they're not.

And if I have to travel 50 km to some specialty bakery and then another to some epicurious butcher, it no longer qualifies as "not difficult to make". Well I live in Chiang Mai and the Rimping supermarket here has a bakery that sells decent rye bread, as do many other places around town. Similarly, beef pastrami is readily available at the deli meats counter, 150 grams sliced very thin costs about 120 baht and the quality is very high. Not knowing where you live I can't advise but I suspect if you look around you'll be able to find those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWMcMurray Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Best Rueben I've had in BKK is at Hemingways on Suk soi 14 (right by Asok intersection) ....

kurnell Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I agree Larry's Dive (is it still open?) and Huntsman Pub Landmark. For a bad one try Angel City Diner. Doesn't both of the bagel shops serve Reubens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I thought the prior Larry's Dive location had closed and been taken over by another business some time back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWMcMurray Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) The Bagel Cafe does have Rueben, and it's ok... But if remember correctly was pastrami rather than corned beef http://thebagelcafebangkok.com Only place I have seen so far with real corned beef was Hemmingways... So far, but also watching this thread to see if any other places are mentioned Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 17, 2014 by CWMcMurray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I thought the prior Larry's Dive location had closed and been taken over by another business some time back.... It has over a year ago, Larry's dive went down hill and closed. over a year ago. Now it is the "No Idea". A complete make over inside and out.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app landmark very good. where not to go - El Osito, the pastrami and corned beef they "home make" are so salt laden i could not eat three bites. It was utterly revolting. 3 sandwiches ordered for 3 people. 3 sandwiches in the trash . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
