Garden Kitchen Kanchanaphisek Garden Kitchen

Garden Kitchen is a Thai garden restaurant at 1531 Kanchanaphisek Road in Bang Khae Nuea, about 1.6 km north of The Mall Bangkae. Grab and Wongnai describe the same place: plenty of greenery, lots of seats and room for big family tables. Google rates it 4.5 from almost 300 reviews, and it opens daily from 10:00 to 23:00.

The menu on Wongnai runs to about 400 listings, from fish and curries through yam salads to a Japanese section. The recommended dishes carry clear prices: creamy tom yum goong with coconut, 250 baht for the large bowl; the house "tiger" pork ribs, 200; fried snakehead fish pae sa in a sour herb broth, 300; herb-fried free-range chicken, 150; fried cured pork ribs (naem), 150; and prawns in tamarind sauce, 200. Sea bass and snakehead dishes sit between 150 and 350 baht, yam and laab between 90 and 250. Wongnai's Bang Khae list also picks the chu chee fish curry and bitter melon stir-fried with egg, while Grab adds sea bass fried with fish sauce and pad thai with fresh prawns.

Shared between three or four people, a meal comes to about 200–400 baht a head.
