Sanamluang Café

Over the years, Sanamlauang has attracted fans from near and far for its large, crowd-pleasing menu of homestyle dishes—and there’s nowhere better in the area for a meal after midnight. Start with the classic tom kha kai, a spicy coconut soup with plump chicken, mushrooms, lemongrass, lime juice and fresh chili for a refreshing starter. Then take a menu detour with the krapow gai, a satisfying and fiery chicken-basil-rice stir-fry topped with an optional egg, and khana moo grob: These crispy and juicy chunks of pork paired with broth-wilted Chinese broccoli are a must. Note that Sanamluang can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so a little patience might be required to snag a table on Friday and Saturday nights.
