Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice in Bangkok

Address: 960-962 Petchburi Soi 30, Phetchaburi Tat Mai Rd., Makkasan, Ratchathewi, Bangkok
Telephone: +66 61 656 9659, +66 2 252 6325
Opening Hours: 6AM-2PM | 5PM-2AM, Daily



Go Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice has humble beginnings.

After pushing a street-food cart selling Hainanese-style chicken rice around, Sombat “Go-Ang” Pluekpaiboon decided to start his own restaurant. He opened his first outlet in Pratunam, and it has firmly stood here for over 50 years.

Born to a Hainanese family, Go-Ang learned to cook from his father. Today, his stall has been recognised by the Michelin Bib Gourmand two years in a row, in 2018 and 2019, and has even expanded internationally.
Before ending your meal, finish it up with the Bitter Melon and Pork Ribs Soup (฿50). Though it’s a little bitter, it helps clear the throat and can make you feel better after a filling meal. Go-Ang also serves Duck and Mushroom Soup (฿60) and Chicken Soup with Extra Bones (฿20).

The interior is a simple, classic restaurant. The stainless-steel tables and wooden stools give it an old-school look too. The staff are all attentive and were quick to attend to us, and are able to give you information about the dishes if you need.

Thanks to its well-known reputation, you will probably have to get ready for a queue – so come by early! In the mornings, customers start rolling in at 11am onwards, and the crowd gets bigger during the afternoon lunch break. You may have to wait, but trust me – it’s worth the time.

Plus, the stall is open till 2am, so you can even pop by after a night out for a good supper meal. Or if you’re an early bird, the store opens at 6am just in time for breakfast.

Roast duck is commonly found throughout Bangkok, especially in the heavily Chinese influenced areas of town like Yaowarat (video) and Bangrak.

Prachak Pet Yang (ร้านประจักษ์เป็ดย่าง) is one of the most famous of the selection, a legendary Cantonese style duck restaurant located right along Charoen Krung road, opposite Robinson’s department store.

Prachak Pet Yang (ร้านประจักษ์เป็ดย่าง), along with Charoen Wiang Pochana, are two of the most well known duck restaurants in the Bangrak area of Bangkok.

From the outside you’ll just see the hanging beauties with a door to the right hand side.

The front of the restaurant doesn’t look too big, but go inside and you’ll find seats and even a couple floors of available tables – so it’s bigger than it looks from the outside.

For a quick and tasty meal of duck and noodles, head over to Prachak.

Jeib Roddeedet (former Rod Dee Det)

Address Jeib Roddeedet: 236/3-4 Siam Square Soi 2, Pathum Wan, Bangkok, Thailand. The old Rot Dee Det was at Siam Square Soi 7.

How To Get There: Take the Skytrain to BTS Siam Station. Jeib Roddeedet is only a 2 min walk from the station.

Opening hours: 09:00 – 21:00 every day (although Google says from 12:00 until 22:00)



If you’re looking to escape the shopping malls and have an authentic Thai meal in the Siam area, you should head for Rod Dee Det at the edge of Siam Square. In an area mostly dominated by the larger food chains, Rod Dee Det is an institution in Bangkok and has been serving delicious beef noodle soup for over fifty years.

In February 2017, Rod Dee Det moved a few streets (from Siam Square Soi 7 to Siam Square Soi 2), changed its name slightly to “Jeib Roddeedet,” and upscaled its interior to a more hip and edgy atmosphere. It seems like the younger generation has taken over and is managing and running the restaurant. But the food is just as good as before, don’t worry! Jeib Roddeedet is still worth a visit!

Since it is close to Siam with all its grand shopping malls, Jeib Roddeedet is an excellent place to head to for some cheap and delicious food in between your shopping.

Kuang Heng Chicken Rice

Opening Hours: 6am–2pm, 5pm–12am
Address: 30 Phetchaburi Rd, Makkasan, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400, Thailand
Phone: +66 2 251 8768



Kuang Heng chicken rice restaurant which is located on the same row (facing Berkeley Hotel Pratunam). Kuang Heng Chicken Rice Restaurant is opened since 1934 and this around 75 years ago.

We visited Kuang Heng chicken rice restaurant in the late afternoon, they just cooked their rice and the restaurant was busy as many tourists wanted to taste the famous chicken rice.

The chicken rice set is 50 Baht and we ordered the ‘boiled’ chicken only. For unknown reason, we forgot to order the deep fried chicken as we wanted to make direct comparison of this boiled chicken with the pink shop Go Ang boiled chicken.

It is the methodology of boiling the chicken as Singapore version is dipping the chicken into cold water to create the smooth skin and the collagen texture while Malaysia version is you get more texture of the meat and also the flavour from the chicken. In Malaysia, they usually glazes some oil to add flavour to the chicken but they use local rice which is less fragrant.

To be honest, you will enjoy Thailand version boiled chicken rice but you won’t be super impressed. The Pratunam green shop Kuang Heng Chicken Rice is not as bad as we thought. After we tasted the chicken rice, some of my friends went to taste it and they didn’t enjoy it. We are not sure whether this is the issue of consistency or the bad chef day situation. This is as honest we can say about Pratunam green shop Kuang Heng Chicken Rice.

On a corner side street, just barely a stones throw from the bustling Asoke intersection, is an Uncle who has been making Thai basil stir fry (ผัดกะเพรา pad kaprao) for over 47 years.

He makes a variety of different quick stir fry dishes, but among his specialties is Thai basil stir fry with your choice of either pork or chicken, and either minced meat or sliced meat.

It’s nothing fancy, just a corner building, a few tables and stools, both inside and outside, with a concrete finish.

The menu is written in Thai – he does offer a few other single plate dishes like Thai fried rice and radna.

During this time, the trend of yum-type restaurants is on the rise. Recently, a yam restaurant popped up in the middle of Ratchada, "Khot Yum Huai Khwang". This yam flavor Nua restaurant is famous for having to wait in line for several hours as well. Let's see if the taste will be delicious or not.

Kod Yum Huai Khwang is a restaurant in a very good location. Because it is very convenient to travel by MRT Huai Khwang Station Exit 4, walk out and immediately find a shop. The sign in front of the shop is outstanding. glittering yellow It's as if this is a place to welcome victims who lack the taste of life (ha).

Kam's Roast Goose

Address: 999/9 Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330, Thailand
Hours: 11am to 10pm daily
Phone: +66 2 004 7718
MRT: BTS Siam or BTS Chit Lom(7 min walks from both station)



BANGKOK — The Cantonese roast franchise Kam’s Roast makes its debut in Bangkok opening its first restaurant in Thailand on Feb 11 at CentralWorld.

The Hong Kong-based restaurant is set to open its doors Thursday on the seventh floor of CentralWorld mall, boasting an impressive array of roast duck and pork dishes to quell even the most raucous family gatherings and nitpicking relatives.

I may still continue to dream of the Toro Char Siu (445 baht), slices of warm moo daeng pork belly ribboned with just the right amount of fat, dipped into plum sauce. The Crispy Roast Pork (410 baht) is a delightful mix of thin, crunchy skin and flavorful fat. When dipped in spicy mustard, one wants more of both.

The Char Siu (374 baht) is the leaner cousin of the Toro Char Siu, with just the right amount of toughness around its red edges.

The roast duck (price from 410 baht for one-fourth of the duck to 1,507 baht for an entire duck) takes three days to prepare, the restaurant says, and only 12 can be made at a time. The birds are marinated for a day, air dried for another, and roasted on the third day. It’s dense but neither tough nor stringy.

The original Kam’s Roast in Hong Kong is famous for earning one Michelin star, and retaining it, for seven consecutive years from 2015 to 2021. The first branch debuted in July 2014 by Hardy Kam Shun-yuen, and won their first star just four months after opening.

Kam’s grandfather, Kam Shui Fai, founded another famous roast goose restaurant, Yung Kee in 1942.

Kam’s Roast also has branches in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The Thai store is the largest store in its overseas franchises, with a seat capacity of 120.

Chicken rice is a dish loved by many. It’s simple, tasty, and cheap. So here’s a challenge for the ultimate chicken rice lovers: Sri Leung Pochana is a stall in Bangkok that serves a gigantic plate of chicken rice that weighs a whopping 3kg. Plus, if you eat it under an hour, you get it for free!

Our overall experience at the restaurant was good. The service staff and owner were very helpful and made us feel comfortable during our time there. She did mention that the restaurant gets really crowded during the lunch break, so it was great that we went down in the late afternoon and escaped the queues.

So if you’d like to have your face on their wall of fame for your chicken rice-eating superpowers, head down to Sri Leung Pochana to show off your talents. More importantly, you might just walk away with free chicken ric

It’s a century old Hainanese Chicken Rice recipe. Thai Heng restaurant has been opened since 1920 with 3 generations making Hainan-style food in Chinatown. “Ancient Recipe” is what locals dub it and highly praise for its consistently delicious food.

Hainan chicken is known for its big juicy slices of chicken meat. In Hainanese style, the oily rice has a bit more color than others from cooking with chicken broth, but is still fluffy and not too oily.

Also, instead of using sweet soy sauce as dipping sauce, Thai Heng uses soy bean paste mixed with chili to provide a little more kick to the dish.
Another signature dish is Thai Sukiyaki. You can order with soup or pan-fried style. Whichever style you choose, it comes with Hainanese-style Sukiyaki Sauce. It’s made from pink fermented tofu paste, which is different and not easy to find at any other Sukiyaki restaurant.

Also, instead of using sweet soy sauce as dipping sauce, Thai Heng uses soy bean paste mixed with chili to provide a little more kick to the dish.
