Bangkokโs Most Trendy Dining Street
Langsuan Road in Bangkok has transformed into one of the cityโs most fashionable dining streets over the past few years. Once a quiet area with offices and residences, it now features a vibrant collection of restaurants, thanks to the arrival of luxury hotels like Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok and Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, as well as the trendy Velaa Sindhorn Village. With more than 40 restaurants lining the street, ranging from upscale venues to hidden gems offering affordable options, Langsuan has become a must-visit destination for food lovers seeking variety and quality in the heart of Bangkok.
VELAA SINDHORN VILLAGE
Velaa Sindhorn Village on Langsuan Road is a stylish semi-outdoor community mall located in Bangkokโs upscale Ploenchit area. This trendy destination blends urban convenience with green spaces, offering a unique shopping and dining experience. Stretching over 300 meters, the complex features open walkways, natural ventilation, and a canopy design inspired by tree branches, creating a park-like atmosphere. Visitors can explore a variety of international restaurants, chic cafes and premium services such as Villa Market and designer boutiques.
Rongsi Potchana
Rongsi Potchana is, without a doubt, our favourite restaurant in Velaa. The food is excellent, the atmosphere lively, the service is fast, always friendly, and efficient, and the price is good considering how expensive everything is in this village. For those in the know, Rongsi is part of a group of successful Thai restaurants, including Kub Kao Kap Pla. The restaurant has a garden area where pets are welcome.

KURA Premium Yakiniku and Sushi
Kura is a popular Japanese yakiniku restaurant with a vast choice of dishes, including sushi, but the main reason people go there is always the ever-popular grill place in the middle of the table where you grill your meat, veggies or seafood. It brings the yakiniku atmosphere to Bangkok, and you could think you are in Japan, especially when the team greets incoming customers with a loud โIrashaimase!โ (welcome!). Itโs fun, tastes good and is reasonably priced; itโs a good place to share with friends.

Hoppe Coffee House
Hoppe Coffeehouse at Velaa Sindhorn Village is one of our regular go-to spots when weโre in the Langsuan area. Itโs a small place with only a few tables, but the cosy atmosphere and friendly service make it stand out. The menu mixes comforting Western and Thai dishes, all well presented with clear photos that always tempt us to order more than we planned.
We usually come back for the roast chicken or the beef stew with rice, both simple but consistently satisfying. Thereโs also a surprisingly good wine list, with a thoughtful selection by the glass starting at 280 baht. For something more special, the bottle list is even better.

Shabu Baru
Shabu Baru is the latest restaurant in the village. It serves the ever-popular shabu in individual pots placed around a central counter instead of the usual central cooking pot shared by up to four guests. The place is beautiful, but the price is a little high, especially for meat, to compete with other shabu around town. Good to know: the cheapest meat set is the best.

Tonkatsu Aoki
Tonkatsu Aoki just opened at Velaa Sindhorn Village, and itโs already packed, especially at lunch. Even though itโs new, people are lining up, and the wait for food can be 30 minutes or more during peak hours. The space is small but well-designed, with wood panelling and an open kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing each tray with care. They specialise in Japanese pork cutletsโcrispy outside, juicy insideโwith different cuts like hire (fillet) and rosu (loin).
Each set comes with rice, shredded cabbage, pickles, and miso soup. The coating is light and crunchy, not oily, and you can taste that theyโre using great quality pork. Prices are higher than average, but the portions are very generous, and everything is done properly. Service is polite, though the kitchen clearly works hard to keep up. Itโs a good stop for fans of proper tonkatsu, but best to go early or outside peak times!

The atmosphere has a warm, elegant touch, with a splash of colour and playful energy. The long open kitchen lets you see the team in action, and the staffโdressed in matching bright apronsโadd to the charm. The menu features Thai dishes inspired by regional recipes but presented with a modern approach and fine ingredients. We really enjoyed the grilled river prawns and a Shan-style tomato relish with a crispy fritterโwell-balanced and full of flavour.

El Gaucho is well known in Bangkok as the main restaurant in Sukhumvit, next to Terminal 21 Shopping Mall. This new branch has only one vast room because of the high price.

VIVRE LANGSUAN
The new Vivre Building on Langsuan Road has quickly become a culinary hotspot in Ploenchit. This modern complex houses several exciting restaurants that are worth checking out. Baannok offers authentic Korat-style Thai food. Tokyo Shabu Shabu brings the popular Japanese hot pot experience to Bangkok. Laugh by Nico Nico serves up delightful fusion dishes in a cheerful setting. Thepnakorn, run by a Michelin-starred chef, specialises in Thai noodle dishes. I-Sang presents innovative Korean fine dining, while Sushi Kuuya provides an intimate omakase experience.
Baannok Bangkok
Baannok Bangkok on Langsuan Road is one of my favourite places to enjoy Korat-style food. The restaurant, located on the second floor of Vivre Langsuan, serves dishes inspired by family recipes. I always recommend trying the Pad Mhee Korat with giant river prawns or the Kaeng Liang Kam Thale So, a spicy soup packed with herbs. The Korat sausage is another great choice, and their caramelised banana dessert with coconut espuma is a perfect way to end the meal.
The atmosphere feels welcoming, with a mix of modern and nostalgic decor. What makes Baannok Bangkok even more special is the ownerโs friendliness; he often chats with guests and sometimes surprises everyone with opera singing! The restaurant is very popular, so itโs often busy. If you plan to visit, I suggest booking a table in advance to avoid waiting.

Shoutaian Tokyo Shabu Shabu
Shoutaian Tokyo Shabu Shabu is an upmarket Japanese restaurant at Vivre Langsuan, known for its premium meats and upmarket shabu shabu dining in a beautiful decor. The quality of the meat is excellent, and while prices are on the higher side, the overall experience makes it worth it, especially if you enjoy well-marbled cuts.
Each guest in the main dining room gets their own personal shabu pot, which means you can take your time and enjoy the meal at your own pace. If you prefer a more traditional shared experience, there are a few private rooms with central hot pots and a more classic group setup.
Service is attentive and friendly without being too formal. Itโs not a big restaurant and itโs popular, so booking ahead is a good idea. If youโre around Langsuan and in the mood for quality Japanese hot pot, this is a great pick.

The house is over 80 years old, and they kept the old Thai-style design, which gives the place a nice, relaxed feel, like visiting someoneโs home. Inside, itโs full of vintage furniture, old photos, and colourful porcelain dishes, which adds to the charm. The food is classic Thai comfort dishes, mostly what people in Bangkok grew up eating.
They serve things like pan-fried eggs in a hot pan, creamy omelette with sausage on rice, and toast with pandan custard. Itโs all very simple, familiar, and tasty. Itโs only open for breakfast and lunch, from 7โฏam to 5โฏpm, Tuesday to Sunday, so it gets busy, especially on weekends. The whole place is small and quiet, a nice change from the usual cafรฉs, and feels like a good spot to slow down for a while.

INDDEE is a new Indian fine-dining restaurant on Langsuan, located in the same house where Gaggan used to be. We remembered the building well, and itโs nice to see it still full of life. The house is over a century old, but itโs been renovated with great care. The dining rooms feel elegant but not overly formal, and the garden outside adds a quiet charm. The space has changed since the Gaggan days, but it still feels special.
INDDEE has earned a Michelin star and offers a set menu that takes you through the flavours of India, from the north to the south. Dishes are creative but rooted in tradition, and the presentation is just as impressive as the taste. We tried the kasundi cod and the chicken khurchanโboth were packed with flavour and perfectly cooked.
The whole experience is refined, from the welcome to the final course. Itโs a place to enjoy a quiet, sophisticated dinner, ideal for special occasions or when you feel like something memorable.

The dining room is basicโplastic chairs, bright lights, and handwritten menus on the wallโbut people come here for the food, not the look.
The menu covers all the familiar Thai favourites, and they cook them well. Dishes like green curry, stir-fried morning glory, and crispy fried fish are packed with flavour and come out fast. Prices are very reasonable, which is rare for this area, especially now that Langsuan has become one of the most expensive streets in Bangkok. Itโs popular with locals, office workers, and people whoโve known the place for years. Service is straightforward, and everything feels relaxed. If you want a good Thai meal without the fancy setting or inflated prices, this is a great spot, just next to Lumphini Park.

Per Te
Per Te on Langsuan Road, just opposite Velaa Sindhorn Village, is hard to spot, and I always thought it was just a small coffee shop. From the outside, itโs a tiny vintage house with an old-fashioned sign and a few decorations, easy to overlook. One da,y we finally walked inโand it was a surprise.
Inside, the space is full of character, with small dining areas and a charming, cosy feel. At the back, thereโs a unique room set up like an old train carriage, with sky-blue clouds painted on the ceiling and soft lamps lining the walls. Itโs a fun and unexpected space for groups.
The food leans classic Italian at affordable prices, and everything we triedโfrom the clam pasta to the grilled lambโwas well-cooked and full of flavour. Itโs the kind of restaurant where the team seems to know their regulars, and we felt welcome right away. Weโll definitely go back.

Sexy Cow
Sexy Cow at Millennia Tower on Langsuan takes a more refined approach to steak house dining. Itโs not casualโthis place aims for an upscale feel with its fancy interiors, dim lighting, and attentive service. The name might be playful, but the experience is quite sohisticated, from the dishes presentation to the wine list.
The focus is clearly on beef, with a strong menu built around steaks and wagyu cuts, both Thai and imported. The waitress even brought a tray of six different steak knives so we could choose our own. Itโs a fun touch and shows the level of detail theyโre going for. We tried the wagyu ribeye and a few side dishes, and everything was well-prepared and nicely presented. The prices are higher than average. Sexy Cow feels like the kind of place for date nights or small gatherings when youโre in the mood for something special but still relaxed. Itโs a new addition to the Langsuan dining scene, and one weโll probably return to when we feel like treating ourselves.

MERCURY VILLE
The Mercury Ville is a small shopping and dining mall located right at the Chidlom BTS Station in central Bangkok. Itโs easy to spot thanks to its bold red exterior and compact layout. While itโs not a major shopping destination, itโs a convenient stop if youโre in the area, with a mix of cafรฉs, restaurants, beauty salons, and small fashion shops spread over a few floors. Thereโs a decent selection of Japanese, Korean, and Thai restaurants, making it a good place for a casual lunch or coffee. Itโs also directly connected to the BTS Chid Lom skywalk for easy access.
Tonchin Ramen
Tonchin Ramen is a respected ramen brand that began in Tokyo in 1992. It became known for its signature tonkotsu-gyokai broth, a rich combination of pork bone and fish stock. The ramen has a deep, satisfying taste without being too heavy, and its clean, modern presentation helped it stand out. Tonchin was later listed in the Michelin Guide Tokyo, which boosted its reputation.
In Bangkok, Tonchin has three branches. The one at Mercury Ville in Chidlom is convenient for visitors staying around Siam or Sukhumvit. The restaurant is simple and modern, with counter seating and a few small tables. The menu highlights their classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, but also includes tsukemen (dipping noodles), gyoza, and a couple of rice dishes.
The noodles are made in-house and have a nice bite. The broth is thick but balanced, and the pork chashu is soft and full of flavour. Service is quick and polite, and the prices are fair for the location and quality..
