tookwan cottage Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I am sure this has been asked before, but, please, if anyone knows of a place to buy decent khao soi in BKK, then I MUST know immediately. I was even considering traveling to Chiang Mai just to eat the dish again, which used to be my daily morning treat when I was living there. But I now love BKK so much that I have resorted to the TV forum, of all things! Please, please, if you can help, I will extend so much gratitude that you will be questioning your astrology sign. Thank you in advance, TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterme Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I found some in a food court in Pantip Plaza some time ago. Pretty darn authentic too, I might add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deke Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 There's also a shop in the food court at Big C, Rama IV that sells it. Sent from my GT-N8000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamSipEt Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The Terrace on the fourth floor of Terminal 21 (Asoke BTS) has it on the menu but I haven't tried it. The stuff I did eat was ok so I expect the Khao Soi is to. Good luck in your hunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkt83100 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Theres a Thai joke about this, they will point you to a moto-taxi .. just ask someone to explain, its far beyond me. With a sloppy pronounciation it (Khao Soi) might be understood as "Into the Soi", which is where a motorbike taxi might take you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konfuzed Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 make it yourself - from scratch - hard but awesome... there was a good mcdang recipe online before, but i can't find it... found this which looks similar: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/tvone_story_skin/445330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inasia Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) The very best place is down the road from Mayfair Suites Apartments on Yen Chit in Sathorn. The owner is from Chiang Mai, and it tends to get very busy at lunchtime. They do Khao Soi - and other Lanna style food.http://goo.gl/maps/Pw71X If you spent any time living in Chiang Mai - you DO NOT want the culinary disappointment of buying this in a food court or airport. I had the Don Mueang Airport concoction once - not recommended. Edited March 26, 2014 by inasia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaguy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I am glad someone else asked this as I didn't want to come off as a dork. I have been searching for years for good Khao Soi after my gf from Chiang Mai making it for me weekly for a few years and then eating it at several places around CM. It can be found but not very good. I found it once near the big Bangkok Bank building on Sathorn but can't remember where now. Cannot be found in Onnut or Prakanong.

Gutterboy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Little soi off Sukhumvit directly opposite Thonglor. Just a few metres from Sukhumvit there's a handful of restaurants on the right, one of them does excellent Khao soi. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrain5000 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I believe the food court at Emporium mall also has it, although I haven't been there in a year or so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbailo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Little soi off Sukhumvit directly opposite Thonglor. Just a few metres from Sukhumvit there's a handful of restaurants on the right, one of them does excellent Khao soi. Enjoy! Soi 38 I believe, last shophouse on the right just before there's usually the Daniel Thaiger burger van on the left on the other side of the road. I believe the food court at Emporium mall also has it, although I haven't been there in a year or so.... They still do it, turn left in the food court and it's about 3 stalls up. I first tasted it in BKK and loved it, since I went to CM and to Khao Soi lam duan nothing even comes close here, I taught myself to cook it and can make a pretty good stab. I find the best way is to simmer the meat in the sauce for hours and hours so it really gets the flavour of the meat into the sauce. Apparently there's a Khao soi lam duan at Rangsit but I'm not sure where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpov Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Sukhumvith Soi 22 (opposite Queen's Park Plaza) used to have a small Northern-Thai restaurant that served Khao Soi. I assume it's still there though I haven't checked in a long long time.............good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Byron Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 S&P also has Khao Soi Yes! Actually the restaurant Shokudo (from S&P) on Silom Road has the BEST khao soi I've had in Bangkok, just as good or even better than those I've had in CHiang Mai and CHiang Rai. Find it on the basement of the United Center Building. You will cry it's so good. And they have some other pretty good dishes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeandduke Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I like the Noodle House in Siam Square. I also like a Thai-named place by the Phahon Yothin MRT. It's either Exit 4, Lad Prao Soi 1 or Exit 1, Lad Prao Soi 4. Between the MRT and a two-floor bar. Sorry, maybe someone can direct you better.

ihunnieibee Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Khao soi at Little Home & the restaurant that is attached to iberry which I forgot the name of right now-- sorry-- I know they have a location in La Villa Ari & Thonglor I'm trying to ask my friend where she brought me to a street place it's around Klong Toey --- I don't know the address but if she ever replies to my message I will post here. *edit: spelling Edited March 26, 2014 by ihunnieibee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaiMei Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Fortune Mall, basement, not bad, Don Meung airport - quite good. Is that Fortune mall Pra Ram 9? Sidenote: the best Food court Tom Yum I've ever had was there adjacent to Lotus. Have had Khao Soi at basement food court below Robinson's at Asoke and it was good. Now that everyone goes to Terminal the Robinson's food court doesn't get heavy traffic which is nice. btw - Most of the time avoid food courts (eg, Paragon - just too damn annoying) but the above are pleasant exceptions.

cyborgx Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wednesdays only - lunch, half way down Patpong - left hand side coming from Silom. It's actually THURSDAYS ONLY, and the place is called Derby King. Amazing flavour and still so cheap. Been going for many many years, highly recommended! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriki Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am khao soi lover too, the best khao soi I had was at Queen Sirikit Convention Center food court, abit spicy then usual though but still the best for me. Someone already mention S & P, that was good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
