Lay Lao Ari เล ลาว สาขาอารีย์

Lay Lao Ari is the original branch of the brand, at 65 Soi Phahon Yothin 7 a few minutes on foot from BTS Ari. The cooking is Thai-Isan with the seafood leaning of Hua Hin, where the owners come from. A 2019 Michelin Guide feature says this branch held a Bib Gourmand and singles out the dried mussels grilled on skewers with papaya salad and the Lay Lao squid with roe; the current Michelin listing keeps the restaurant but shows no award. Prices recorded by a Wongnai reviewer: Luang Prabang som tam 115++ baht, sunrise fried larb 185++, half grilled chicken 185++, glass-noodle pork rib tom saap 225++. Grab's Ari list points to the Lao suki and the claypot tom yum as the crowd orders. Expect 300 to 700 baht a head. Open daily 10:30 to 22:00; groups should call ahead. Google 4.5 from 2,603 reviews.
