Soul Food Mahanakorn

Good Thai Food, mostly focused on Northern dishes. Nice place and good atmosphere. We enjoyed the grilled tiger prawns, stir-fried eggplants and lamb curry. The downside is that we waited one hour to get all the food on the table. Plus some dishes could have been hotter.

Arriving 5 minutes before opening (5pm) we got lucky and scored a table for two without a reservation! We were asked to leave by 8:00pm for another party, which was far more than enough time.

The service staff were wonderfully present and helpful but didn’t crowd us at all. They answered a couple questions and added to the experience.

The food was very fresh tasting, delicious in its complexity of flavours even though the ingredients, overall, were seemingly simple. One of my favourite dishes of the entire trip was the fried banana blossoms.

Would happily return again if there weren’t so many other places to check out on this adventure!

We visited on a weekend afternoon (they only serve lunch on the weekend) which I understand is much less crowded than their evening service. Food is amazing. Although the fried chicken is the most photogenic, the winners for us is definitely the banana flowers and fried egg and the eggplant salad with their homemade bacon and duck eggs. It's an explosion of flavor. The Thai milk tea inspired whisky sour cocktail was also a delight. Mind you these aren't even their signature dishes...can only fathom how delicious those are. That said the menu doesn't have photos, but they're all in English and the staff are very helpful and will show you photos of the food on a tablet (which they did for two Korean diners who didn't really read English well). Top knotch service.

We stumbled across this Michelin guide Thai restaurant as it's just across our hotel. Food was great but nothing extraordinary. We would definitely recommend the smoked spicy eggplant with duck egg as it's the star of the meal. The rest was pretty good. It's a nice restaurant for date night as the restaurant is tastefully decorated.

Decided to have our last dinner in Bangkok since a friend recommended this place. And we were not disappointed. The food is top notch!
Food is well cooked and their green curry with smoked duck breast is one of the best dishes I had in Thailand! The ribs with tamarind sauce was also good.
It's small restaurant and the seatings are on two floors. We didn't make any reservation on that evening and we had dinner sitting at the bar on the second floor. But it was just fine. Reservation is recommended. And they seem to serve lunch only during weekends.
It's not far from the BTS station, I'd guess 10 minutes walk in slow pace. I'd say 4.5 stars and the food is equally good as the Local but costs half as much. Think I paid 1600 baht for the meal with 3 small beers. I recommend this place!

Excellent thai style dishes and very good service. Ribs and Smokey eggplant were the highlight of the dinner. Reservation highly recommended. Don't recommend the classic cocktails.

Service is quite nice, but food is pricey for small portions. 양적고 비싸요ㅠㅠ 메뉴는 케바케라서 어떤건 잘못시키면 느끼하고 짜기만 한...

I went with a local Thai friend and ordered three dishes, all recommended by the waitress.

Our favorite was the banana flower salad - it was better than any som tum I had before!!! My new favorite Thai dish!!

The ribs only had 5-6 pieces. The meat stew was very greasy and salty.

Staff are attentive and friendly. My lime juice without sugar was also fine.
