HAGOW Yaowarat ฮะเก๋า เยาวราช

HAGOW Yaowarat is an open-kitchen dim sum shophouse at 387 Yaowarat Road, under five minutes from MRT Wat Mangkon. The name is the order: har gow prawn dumplings with a thin wrapper and, as Wongnai reviewers repeat, a firm snap to the prawn. The menu page lists them at 85 baht, other pages at 95, depending on when they were captured. Prawn siu mai is the second dish every review mentions, Grab points to the custard cream buns for dessert, and foreign reviewers go for the crispy Hong Kong-style noodles under thick gravy, the crispy pork with char siu rice and the three-roast combination. Wongnai puts the spend at 101 to 250 baht a head, roughly half what the upstairs dim sum room Lao Teng costs. Open daily 11:00 to 21:30. The room is small and fills early on weekend evenings; reviewers note the ground floor has no air-conditioning and that parking nearby is close to impossible, so come by MRT. Google rates it 4.7 from about 3,600 reviews. A good choice for a table with children or older relatives who do not want to eat standing at a cart.
