Baannok Bangkok | บ้านนอกเข้ากรุง

Excellent meal here with probably the best tasting massaman I’ve ever eaten and I’ve eaten a lot. Service and food quality were exceptional, especially for the very reasonable price. Our visit was only let down somewhat by there being a very large party booking of maybe 20+ people. Sadly, as is often the case with such large parties, they act like they booked the whole restaurant and have little regard for other diners, manners is something some people have no regard for. This is not the fault of the restaurant it’s just people these days, or at least some! Docked the atmosphere to 2 because of that, otherwise it would be a 5. We would 100% go again but absolutely NOT if there’s a large party booking (we’ll check when we book) or insist to be seated in the adjoining dining area.

The first impression here is the staff. All waiters are very nice & polite. Especially Khun Neung, he brought a lot of positive energy to our table, since we arrived and during the food ordering. All dishes are yummy and also the atmosphere is nice too. We’ll definitely come back here again.

Nueng restaurant was a little quiet for lunch but made up for it with amazing food and service. Tucked away upstairs on 1st floor the music was excellent 80’s and 90’s UK and US hits. The food was fresh well prepared and presented and tasted amazing. See pics. Shrimp with egg and zucchini, stir fried pumpkin and gang Liang soup were amazing and stir fry cabbage good too but not as flavoursome as the others. Definitely recommend a visit.

My biggest pleasant surprise in Bangkok was this restaurant, Baan Nok. First of all, a special shoutout to the waiter Nueng. His service was incredibly warm and attentive. From the moment we sat down, he patiently introduced every dish, adjusted the spice level to our preference, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. It felt welcoming and personal rather than formal or distant. And the food was outstanding. Their tom yum soup was the best I’ve had in Bangkok. The other dishes we ordered were just as impressive, comforting and memorable without a single miss. The overall experience absolutely lives up to its recognition by the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years. It’s not the kind of Michelin place that feels stiff or overly fancy, but rather warm, authentic, and so delicious that you immediately want to come back again. If you’re in Bangkok and looking for high-quality, truly local Thai food, this place is more than worth a dedicated visit.

Came here from a friends recommendation (and Michelin mention). Was beyond impressed, the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere was beautiful. The best food we have had in Thailand all trip. We got the > egg rolls (4/5 - amazing but overshadowed by everything else) > Sausage salad (5/5 - both my wife and my favorites thing. So much flavor) > Grandmas egg soup (5/5 - sweet but so so savory. Amazing and a close second for favorite dish) > fried noodles with crispy pork belly (5/5 - zero complaints, but the other items wowed me a bit more) > coffee jelly dessert (3/5 - not my thing personally but I can see how someone into this would love it.) Drinks: > ruby ring (?) (5/5 - an amazing, simple and sweet mocktail. Immediately wanted another) > nostalgia (5/5 - blew my mind. It did give me a nostalgic kick from something that I couldn’t place my finger on. This could be a dessert shake/drink!) > Thai milk tea (5/5 - well balanced and yummy) > espresso (5/5 - great!) Team (our server) knocked it out of the park! He was extremely attentive and kind. He gave us amazing food recommendations. The owner came by the table a couple times as well and is a very kind gentleman who is (rightfully) proud of his restaurant. Nothing but great things to say.
