About Polo Fried Chicken (Soi Polo)

Tuck into Bangkok’s legendary gai tod—golden, thin-skinned fried chicken buried beneath a fragrant mountain of crisp fried garlic flakes. Diners routinely steer their friends toward this energetic shophouse off Lumphini Park for affordable, Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized plates. Tear off chicken pieces with sticky rice, spoon up fiery dipping sauces, and order a plate of lime-forward som tam to cut through the garlic crunch. Just remember to bring cash.

  • Mountain of Fried Garlic: Golden, thin-skinned fried chicken buried under an avalanche of deep-fried garlic flakes.
  • Zesty Som Tam: Sharp, lime-forward papaya salad that provides the ideal refreshing counterbalance to the savory chicken.
  • Michelin Bib Gourmand Value: Bib Gourmand-recognized street-level dining that stays remarkably budget-friendly.
  • Bustling Cash-Only Shophouse: A fast, energetic local shophouse experience; note that payment is cash-only.

Why locals and travelers choose Polo Fried Chicken for their Bangkok dining plans.

  • Classic Papaya Salad Pairing

    Crisp fried chicken is traditionally paired alongside tangy, citrus-forward green papaya salad and sticky rice for a harmonious combination.

    The papaya salad with the sauce taste uniquely sour but very subtle and refreshing, kind of slight lemon sour thing. Pair the papaya with chicken in one spoon to make the experience totally complete.

  • Convenient Lumphini Park Proximity

    Conveniently situated in Soi Polo right by Lumphini Park, making it an easy midday stop for tourists and locals.

    Very close to Lumpini Park. Service was quick and efficient. A cheaper way to experience a Michelin Bib Gourmand Restaurant.

  • Bustling, Fast-Paced Lunch Turnaround

    The energetic, no-nonsense shophouse delivers dishes rapidly to accommodate fast lunch turnovers.

    The food is served very quickly. We waited about 10 minutes for dishes for three people.

    The somtam was the best, flavour leans towards lime which is very refreshing on a hot day.
