About Khao Tom Jay Suay

Freshly cooked Thai-Chinese street plates hit folding tables fast along the Phlap Phla Chai pavement. Locals crowd the sidewalk stools for khao tom kui, balancing steaming bowls of plain rice porridge with dishes wok-tossed to order from raw ingredients displayed upfront. Plates arrive in quick succession—charred duck, crispy fried red pork, and minced pork dumplings floating in a tart pickled plum broth. Teochew chatter blends into the hum of wall-mounted fans while servers hand out complimentary iced tea. It is cash only, open late, and built around sharing family-style spreads deep into the night.

  • Cooked-to-Order Thai-Chinese: Dishes are wok-cooked to order from raw market ingredients displayed right outside the open kitchen.
  • Old-School Sidewalk Dining: Bustling sidewalk seating along Phlap Phla Chai Road with cooling fans and an energetic street feel.
  • Late-Night Value: Fast-moving service with staff speaking Teochew, budget-friendly shared plates, and cash-only payment.

    I’ve been eating here since I was a kid and the taste is still just as good today. They also serve free tea. My favorite is the minced pork dumplings with pickled plum soup!!!!! perfect to enjoy hot. So comforting and delicious!

    Wir waren hier an unserem ersten Abend in Bangkok nach einem 16 Stunden Flug Essen und wurden herzlichst empfangen. Die Auswahl an Gerichten ist sehr groß, aber man wird bei keinem einzelnen enttäuscht.
