Krua Krungthep Yaowarat ครัวกรุงเทพ เยาวราช

Krua Krungthep's Yaowarat branch is at 530 Yaowarat Road, at the Wat Tuek end of the street, the second outlet of a Thai-Chinese restaurant whose first branch sits beside BTS Phaya Thai. The website styles it The Bangkok Heritage, a neighbourhood kitchen using produce from across Thailand and chefs with more than ten years' experience. Its listed signatures are a whole deep-fried sea bass in fish sauce, premium lump-crab fried rice, flat rice noodles with sea bass in black-bean gravy, tom yum goong in both creamy and clear versions, prawn siu mai, squid with salted egg yolk, and prawns fried in tamarind, X.O. or garlic sauce. Dish prices are not published. What separates it from the shophouse restaurants on Yaowarat is nine banquet rooms the site says carry no venue fee, for parties, meetings and weddings, plus off-site catering. Open daily 11:00 to 22:00. Google rates it 4.0 from more than 1,400 reviews, lower than the old houses nearby, but private rooms and parking are why large groups and company dinners pick it. Four minutes from MRT Wat Mangkon.
