Baannok City Edition, Groove CentralWorld บ้านนอก City Edition (บ้านนอกเข้ากรุง) Groove เซ็นทรัลเวิลด์

Baannok City Edition is the downtown spin-off of Baannok Khao Krung, a Korat-style regional Thai restaurant whose original sits on the 2nd floor of the Vieve building on Langsuan Road under Nara Group. This branch is on the 1st floor of Groove, the Ratchadamri-side block of CentralWorld, in room G119. Daily News reported in July 2026 that the founder is Phumipan 'Jom' Iempornmate, a former head butler at The St. Regis New York, which explains the retro New York look and the train-platform chairs lifted from the parent brand's logo. It runs as all-day dining with a bar, drinks and desserts, from late morning to midnight according to the paper (Google lists 11:00 to 22:00). The dishes the restaurant leads with are Korat-style pad mee, gaeng liang with prawns and village greens, the 'air hostess recipe' Luang Prabang papaya salad, and crossover plates such as steak in jaew butter, a river-prawn roll with shrimp-fat mayo, a larb moo burger and chilli-paste BBQ pork ribs.
