“ It was quiet in the morning, which made for a nice, relaxed atmosphere. We were served chrysanthemum tea — seems like it’s a common welcome drink everywhere you eat in Bangkok. We had some dim sum, which was quite decent. ”
“ Ordered delivery. The fried egg noodles with chicken in thick sauce was good. Bbq was good. Fresh spring rolls were so so. ”
“ Thong Kee has been around since 1875, should give you a clue as to its authenticity. At the entrance there is a warm welcome. I chose my seating to savour the atmosphere. Families, couples, mainly Chinese and Thai origin with the odd knowing farang. The place has a calm to it you only get in top end restaurants where the food is super delicious, because everyone is too busy eating to talk. I was recommended the coconut juice, great choice. I ordered Peking duck, steamed rice and steamed bass with sweet and chilli garlic sauce. The timing of the dishes was on point. The care from the waiter attentive but not overly so. The food spoke for itself: freshly cooked, melt in your mouth comfort duck dish. Brought back memories from home and OP is a long way from home. The fish was freshly and perfectly cooked tender but not over cooked , dripping in a balanced sweet but no nonsense chilli infusion. Again melt in your mouth affair. All in all outstanding I order all AutoBots wherever you may be, to make your way to Thong Kee…peace out ”
“ Words cannot do this place justice. The service, ambiance, flavor, prices, and items available for purchase, proximity to other places makes this a hidden gem! I first dined at this restaurant with some members of my group, and between the THREE of us who each enjoyed appetizers, main dishes, and drinks, we were charged 710 baht which totaled up to 20 usd~. The second time that I visited, I was alone and they remembered me! I was given the royal treatment: they gave me a cozy spot, refilled my drink from my bottle-not water from a pitcher, my personal bottle. Be advised that if you eat here alone, there is a minimum required for a bank card. So if you need to buy something else, just buy something from their shelves right behind the register. ”
“ Was wandering around the streets near my hotel in Sukhumvit when I stumbled upon a modest little spot — ท่องกี่ภัตตาคาร-Thong Kee Restaurant. A humble shopfront with a no-frills setup, yet this family-run place has been around since 1872, passed down through three generations! Ordered their roast duck and crispy pork rice — the kind that hits with that perfect balance of smoky, savory crunch — along with a fish maw and crab meat soup that was rich, silky, and comforting. Washed it all down with an ice-cold fizzy lemonade that cut through Bangkok’s heat like a small miracle. Whenever I travel, I try to eat where the locals eat — because that’s where you find the soul of the city. ”
