Chinese Restaurants in Bangkok

Bangkok’s got so many spots for Chinese food that picking one feels like a challenge,but that’s a good problem to have. From the old-school dim sum joints in Yaowarat (Chinatown) to slick, modern spots around Sukhumvit, you can find it all if you know where to look.

If you want authentic Cantonese cuisine, the little eateries on Yaowarat Road are where most locals go for late-night bowls of stewed pork or steamed dumplings. My favorite? T&K Seafood doesn’t just do seafood,they’ve got killer roast pork buns that aren’t on every menu. It’s loud, messy, and exactly what you want in a night out.

And if you’re in the mood for something a little upscale, head to Hua Seng Hong in Silom. They’ve nailed Peking duck, and the crispy skin is something I talk about long after the meal. One tip: try to go lunchtime on weekdays,the place is quieter, and dishes come out fast so you don’t have to wait forever.

Chinese food in Bangkok isn’t just about noodles and dumplings; steaming hot clay pots full of winter melon soup or those slippery rice rolls that melt in your mouth are a must-try. Don’t be shy,if the restaurant’s busy and the menu is in Chinese only, that’s usually a good sign.
