Saep Sudjai Thonglor แซ่บสุดใจ ทองหล่อ

Saep Sudjai is the Roi Et-style Isan kitchen Thonglor turns to after midnight: it opens at 11am and keeps going until four or five in the morning. It sits on the lower stretch of Sukhumvit 55, about ten minutes from BTS Thong Lo, in an air-conditioned room for forty to eighty, and from 8pm onward the tables are mostly full. Grilled items are the strength. Grilled pork neck is 139 baht, grilled beef 139 baht, and reviewers keep coming back to the grilled intestines and beef tongue. Alongside those, order the pork neck nam tok at 129 baht, catfish larb at 149 baht, soi ju raw beef at 149 baht, tam sua at 89 baht, or the pork jim jum set at 289 baht if the table is settling in for the night. Regulars ask for the liver grilled medium rare. Count on 200 to 450 baht a head, cheap for the area. The caveats: some reviews find the larb and som tam inconsistent from visit to visit, and there is no parking, so you leave the car somewhere in the soi and walk. Best as a no-booking Isan session with friends after work or after the bars.
