Phrom Phrong, an affluent Sukhumvit neighborhood, has always been a haven for gastrophiles. There's everything for everyone, from hip restaurants in the shiny malls and upscale eateries in five-star hotels to shophouse restaurants hidden in the alleys and food trucks cooking on the streets.

Thanks to the namesake BTS station, the term Phrom Phong now covers a massive area along Sukhumvit road: Soi Sukhumvit 35 and Soi Sukhumvit 39 (the original Phrom Phong) in the north and Soi Sukhumvit 22, Soi Sukhumvit 24 and Soi Sukhumvit 26 in the south.

Don't know where to start? Let us be your guide.

Bangkok’s culinary scene has gotten just a little bit more exciting. Award-winning Korean-American chef Akira Back introduces Thais to his brand of cooking at his namesake restaurant in Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park hotel. Soaring above Sukhumvit on the 37th floor of the five-star hotel, Akira Back breaks new ground by offering cuisine that fuses Japanese, Korean and Western influences. Avid foodies would know who Akira Back is. But in case his name doesn’t ring a bell, Back is a US-based chef whose fame travels across continents. Prior to becoming a world-renowned culinary figure, he was a pro snowboarder and a part-time cook at local restaurants in his hometown of Colorado. Severe injuries from a snowboarding accident prematurely ended his career in extreme sports. Another door opens when one closes; Back decided to shift his path towards the kitchen, starting out as a prep cook at Kenichi restaurant in Aspen. This was soon followed by a senior position at the famed Yellowtail restaurant in Las Vegas, which eventually led to a decision to venture out on his own and launch his namesake brand. Akira Back’s Bangkok outlet is a study in sleek, contemporary Asian décor. Japanese shinto ropes hold up elongated arches and provide an interesting canopy to the entire space. Abstract paintings by the chef's mother adorn the walls. The posh restaurant is an expansive space that can seat up to 100 diners at a time, composed of a main dining room, sushi bar, omakase bar and f

Sereechai Puttes/Time Out Bangkok

Posh hotel bars that serve great cocktails are, in most cases, rare in Bangkok. (We usually encounter juice-heavy numbers that skimp on booze). But new waves of establishments, including Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, are doing their best to change this situation. Launched alongside the highly anticipated Akira Back restaurant, ABar impressively combines style with substance by pulling off well-rounded libations in two distinct venues: a Victorian-themed drinking palace and a rooftop drinking space up above. Upon entering the bar, your eyes are met with awe-inspiring, moodily lit interiors that make the most of dark wood, black marble and brass details to pay tribute to Victorian London aesthetics and gritty retro-Manhattan elements. (The whole thing looks like something straight out of the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.) The outdoor terrace, fitted with apothecary-like cabinets, provide an area for puffing on vintage cigars while looking out to Sukhumvit’s glittering skyscrapers. The bar is helmed by Rojanat Chareonsri, who honed his skills at Nopa Kitchen + Bar in Washington DC and Fillets in Bangkok. The cocktails put the focus on premium dark spirits, so expect whiskey, rum and cognac to make their way into your drink (though we also noticed a couple of gin-based items). Study in Stone is a sour with Nusa Cana rum, sherry cream, citrus oleo saccharum (macerated lemon oil) and lemon (B415). Another offering, The Oxford, smartly reinvents the class

The Pagoda, a Chinese restaurant that purveys authentic Cantonese fare at its best. Pagoda is set in an eclectic dining room decorated with interiors inspired by Chinese pagodas (tiered ones with eaves, not to be mixed up with the pagodas found at Thai temples), which are believed to bless diners with power and wealth. The kitchen is helmed by Hong Kong native Chef Oscar Pun, who spent the past two decades working at notable Michelin-starred restaurants in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Just because Siam Tea Room has never been on any best Thai restaurants list doesn't mean it ain’t any good. The dining room at the Marriott Marquis Queen's Park Hotel in Soi Sukhumvit 22 is known for churning out comfort Thai dishes as they should be—hot and sweet enough to tickle your taste buds.

Homeland

Phrom Phong

Photograph: Homeland

Responsible production and conscious consumption – Homeland lives and breathes these values. Every dish is built on locally sourced ingredients, and behind every plate is a smile from somewhere in Thailand. Homeland is one of those places where the food feels like it comes with a story – and in this case, it legitimately does. Every dish here is a collaboration between Thai farmers, producers and makers. Nothing is standardized here: not the shape of the pumpkin, the shade of the eggshell, or the size of the okra. That’s the beauty of it. They don’t pressure local suppliers to meet rigid cosmetic standards. Instead, they celebrate the unpredictability of seasons and nature, and everything that comes with it. The space feels incredibly homey, almost like eating at your grandmother’s kitchen table (if your grandmother were quietly chic). There’s warmth in the walls. Thai pumpkin soup is what I’ll be ordering again next time – no question. It’s so fresh, so simple, but deeply comforting. The aftertaste is heavenly with the texture of spiced pumpkin seeds and local goat’s cheese, and a little hint of tamarind sauce that makes it land in the right spot. Every dish here tells a story. The Thai Sansai Pasta features organic Thai vegetables like pak kood (edible fern) and okra, tossed into a comforting bowl of flavors you don’t usually find in a pasta dish. The Hummus & Eggs came with poached organic eggs, creamy hummus and sourdough from their neighbours at Larder. A reminder...

%Arabica at Emquartier

Cafés
Phrom Phong

Kenika Ruaytanapanich / Time Out Bangkok

It’s been two years and two (actually, two and a half) branches since Kyoto-born coffeehouse %Arabica launched in Bangkok, spurring photo-snapping crowds and long queues in every spot it has opened at. As a follow-up to its flagship store at ICONSIAM and second branch at centralwOrld (plus a tiny kiosk in Siam Paragon), % Arabica has snatched a vacant spot on the mezzanine floor of EmQuartier. This third outlet maintains the brand’s signature minimalist-white aesthetics, still designed by no.10 of Nomurakougeisha, who’s responsible for setting up most of %Arabica's stores around the world. This EmQuartier branch is sunlit and spacious, with more organized seating that separates the dine-in/drink-in guests from those just coming for a grab-and-go (significantly more peaceful if you want some alone time with your cuppa). One more thing that makes %Arabica’s third Thailand branch different from its sister stores is the presence of a vintage Probat roaster, a German machine that can roast beans in big batches, thus establishing the EmQuartier shop as the brand’s central roastery in Thailand. Among the beans that are roasted here are Kona % beans grown at the brand’s own farm in Hawaii. A favorite among connoisseurs, these coffee beans offer a smooth but robust flavor profile with hints of lemon and chocolate. Ice cream lovers will also find haven at this new store, which will soon debut two new flavors of the brand’s signature soft-serve—soft cream and affogato.

What it is: In a charming corner lot that feels miles from the usual Bangkok bustle, Simple Natural Kitchen is a cosy, sun-drenched space where the emphasis is on fresh, wholesome ingredients and creative international dishes that make you feel truly nourished. It's the kind of spot you recommend to a friend who values true quality and the ambience of an architects’ personal residence. Why we love it: In a city that’s constantly buzzing, sometimes you just want breakfast that feels like a warm hug, but without the guilt trip. Simple Natural Kitchen delivers precisely that. They champion, well, simplicity and natural goodness, without ever sacrificing flavour. Their breakfast menu is a delightful ode to wholesome beginnings, from smoothie bowls packed with superfoods to beautifully executed avocado toasts that actually live up to the hype. Like us, you'll likely find yourself lingering over their original kra prao quinoa with Cumberland sausage or eggplant shakshuka in a sizzling cast iron. Time Out tip: If you're driving, you’re in luck there is private parking in a bucolic courtyard. And while everything on the menu is tempting, their homemade baked goods are often a delightful surprise – grab one for later!

Just like other hotel rooftop bars, Aire Bar at Hyatt Place offers expansive views over Bangkok. The difference is, the drinks here don’t empty out your pocket. Offering the perfect lookout to Benjasiri Park against a backdrop of skyscrapers, the bar caters to punters on a budget—sparkling wine starts from B199 while cocktails created by mixologist Nick Braun sets you back around B260.

Sukhumvit drinking den Dim Dim has collaborated with Singapore-born coffee shop A Stimulant by Sarnies to open a coffee shop within its premises during the day. Owned by Australian entrepreneur, Ben Lee, and Malaysian barista, Eric Chan, A Stimulant by Sarnies started off as a shop churning out hearty burgers in Singapore’s Telok Ayer neighborhood. Its owners saw a business opportunity in Bangkok and later on opened a small roaster-slash-coffee house in the back alley of Sukhumvit Soi 39, offering brews from carefully selected beans and providing a number of cafés around Bangkok with in-house roasts. As in the first Bangkok outlet, A Stimulant by Sarnies’ pop-up at Dim Dim offers single origin brews as well as original Sarnies’ blends such as Picks & Shovels, which mixes beans from Laos, Brazil and the Ban Mai Pattana Farm in Chiang Rai. Giving off a well-rounded flavor with slight chocolatey hints in the end, the blend mixes well with most espresso variations—it’s what they use for their orange mocha (B140), a refreshing pick-me-up that may (or may not) be a playful reference to the drink preferred by the ill-fated models in the first Zoolander movie. The Dim Dim branch, however, carries its own signatures—they serve a cold brew (B100) that’s infused with goji berry and a hint of cinnamon to add complexity to the naturally sweet drink. While you’re there, don’t miss out on the freshly baked brownies (B140), which follows a recipe put together by Ben’s great-grandmother....

At-Ta-Rote

Thai
Phrom Phong

Numerous cooking lessons with respected Thai food master Srisamorn Kongpun inspired Kannida “Gift” Thantisunthorn to bring century-old, royal-court-style recipes to new life at this modern Thai restaurant. At-Ta-Rote means “heartfelt wording” in poetic Thai, while rote by itself means “flavor.” The space was dressed up by same teambehind coffee house Casa Lapin’s interiors, so do expect a combination of wood, metal and brick, and glass walls that bring in plenty of natural light. Old school kitchenware deals in a homey, vintage feel. Entice your palates with ancient recipes taken from Srisamorn’s cooking tomes. The miang kham (B185) wraps Thai condiments in lotus and betel nut leaves and comes with a sweet roasted coconut sauce. A simple fried rice dish like nam prik long ruea (B220) highlights the delightful contrast between salty shrimp paste and caramelized pork, while a stir-fried snakehead fish dish (B210) is livened up by homemade chili paste. The dessert menu is filled with traditional Thai treats injected with a few twists like caramelized dried bael served with ice cream that’s been smoked with an aromatic candle (B155).

Designed as an authentic sake bar and izakaya, Hanakaruta feels like it was teleported straight from Japan. From the moment guests step inside, they are immersed in Japanese culture. The highlight of the space is a striking floor-to-ceiling liquor cabinet showcasing a bewilderingly diverse selection of Japanese spirits and sake. Their signature is take sake served in a 500ml bamboo flask, which further enhances the fragrance. Careful though, it packs a punch and you’ll be limited to just three flasks per visit! The menu here ranges from small bites to more substantial dishes and includes authentic sushi rolls and tempura. Sukhumvit Soi 39, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana. 02-662-7339. Open daily from 6pm-2am.

It’s been a couple years since Man Fu Yuan, a respected Cantonese restaurant at the InterContinental Singapore, expanded to Thailand, opening a restaurant at the posh Rajapruek Golf Club in northern Bangkok. Business was so good that it’s opened a sister eatery at Emquartier’s Helix Quartier. Set to be a more casual, all-day-dining venue, Man Fu Yuan is simply dressed in classy ivory hues with elegant yet comfortable sofas and a smattering of Chinese pottery. Expect to savor signature dishes such as smoked duck (B600 for a half-serving), crispy roasted pork (B265) and king-sized river prawns with ee fu noodles (B490) at more affordable prices. The kitchen also turns out mouth-watering dim sum selections such as prawn dumplings (B135), chee chong fun with scallops (B145) , chili crab buns (B135) and salted egg-yolk custard buns (B100). Complement your meal with a choice of Chinese tea blends, which include Man Fu Yuan 5 Elements, Royal Red Robe, aged pu’er and Imperial Double Blossom Chinese tea.

If you’re tired of overpriced mall food, this food cart parked near the entrance of luxury mall Emporium offers the perfect solution. There is only one thing on the menu: Hainanese-style chicken rice that got all the components right. The fragrant rice is packed with garlicky flavors, while the boiled chicken is juicy and tender. A fried option is also on the offer and the chicken is served crispy and not too greasy. For parties of two or more, a slightly peppery-sweet soup with whole chicken bone is served. Here’s the tricky part—trying to nab a seat is like a game of musical chairs. The minute you spot an empty chair, seize it as fast as you can. Otherwise, the remaining alternative is to take your place in the notoriously long queue for take-away orders—or eat while standing.

Sereechai Puttes/Time Out Bangkok

Sugar Ray was a mainstay in Ekkamai’s nightlife scene for a reason—its creative cocktails and rustic-meets-minimalist speakeasy vibe drew both eclectic hipsters and cocktail connoisseurs to the second floor of Baan Ekkamai. The bar, however, has just gone through a complete makeover, and it includes a new address on Sukhumvit Soi 24. Tucked within new restaurant complex Octo Seafood Bar (we won’t spoil the fun by telling you where the entrance is, but we will say that you have to hunt down a chap that looks as if he’s dressed for Comic Con in the medieval times), the new Sugar Ray is now a sleeker and more dapper version of its former self. Dressed in fine black marble and leather, the dimly lit space now features ample bar seating, which was conspicuously absent in its former digs. In true Sugar Ray fashion, the guys behind the bar are still up for conversation, mostly on cocktails or the bar’s selection of fine whiskey. Head mixologist Vipop Jinaphan and his team have come up with a short list of signature drinks that cater to all kinds of flavor-profile preferences. Un Poco Loco (B420) is a fruity and sour drink that packs a punch with a mix of tequila that's sous-vide with saffron, Amaro, mango, yogurt, lime, salt and bitter. East Coast Boulevard (B420) is a twist on the good old Boulevardier, infusing Bengalese spiced tea into Campari and the smooth blending of rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Punt e Mes, and chocolate and grapefruit bitters. Local flavor shines in Born...

The bar door opens onto a Parisian dream, a cafe-bar that feels plucked straight from a European film. Inside, elegance whispers from every corner, subtle lighting and dark wood turning the space into something intimate yet cinematic. The venue splits into two moods: a dining area at the front, soft with daylight, perfect for brunch or dinner, coffee or mocktails served with effortless style. At the back, the Club zone hums differently, a DJ weaving chill beats while live jazz sneaks in on certain nights, turning the room into a slow, playful dance of sound and shadow. Every corner is made for lingering, for stories shared over cocktails that taste as intriguing as the space itself, moments that somehow feel cinematic even before the first sip.

What is it?: A fusion vegan bistro, serving plant-based versions of familiar favourite comfort foods from around the globe. Why we love it: Vistro was good when it opened in 2019, and it is even better now. The menu knows no boundaries so expect to see dishes from every continent, re-interpreted to plant-based perfection. It says something about the restaurant that the kitchen is almost as extensive as the seating area, which remains informal and inviting for a meal at any time of day. The non-alcoholic drinks menu ranges through kombucha, cold-pressed juices, lattes, smoothies and coconut milk-based shakes. Food-wise, try chili bao bao in soft buns with sweetly glazed meat substitute filling, or vegan crab croquettes that are super creamy in a fried bread crumb case with spicy mayonnaise. For noodle lovers, damn good dan dan combines substitute meatballs with mushrooms, red pepper and dark green bak choy, adding vibrant colours to a mildly spicy soup. In total there is a wide selection of noodles, bowls, wraps, tacos, salads, yum cha items, and cakes that include their famous chocolatey raw Snickers bar with plenty of vegan goodness inside. Time Out tip: Sunday brunch at Vistro is a great way to eat with friends sharing a selection of plates while discussing the various issues of the week. But do not be shy about coming alone, as there is counter top seating to pull up a stool to and scroll, read, or gaze down onto the street below.

Later that night, I wondered – was I being dramatic for wanting to go back again tomorrow? But when the memory of the Pork Kim-cheese Toastie resurfaces, I know I’m not. Homemade kimchi, melty cheese, and thick-cut sourdough (baked in-house by Sarnies) come together in a perfect storm of flavour. It's crunchy, tangy, savoury – dreamy, even. This space is what happens when two rule-breakers decide to rewrite the clean-eating script. Pimp My Salad and Sarnies. One built its name on bowls that are vibrant, nutrient-dense and full of personality; the other is known for turning the everyday cafe experience into something bold and unapologetically flavorful. The space itself is bathed in natural light all day long. Ideal for catch-ups over brunch or those spontaneous candid IG stories. But back to the food: Nutty Acai Bowl is the real post-toast finisher. Sure, acai is known as a superfood, but this bowl is also super tasty. Topped with a chunky raw brownie that’s 100% plant-based, gluten-free and dairy-free. Zero guilt, zero sugar spikes – just whole, thoughtful ingredients. And if you're not in the mood for toast or smoothie bowls, don’t skip Hula-Hula Tuna. Chilli miso ponzu gives it this bold, spicy depth right from the first bite. It’s layered but not overwhelming – savoury, tangy, a little sweet. Their house-made kimchi adds a nice kick. It's a masterclass in clean eating with intent: every element feels considered, from texture to taste to how it makes you feel...
