Taweechok Mookata's Banthat Thong shop is branch 9 of a mookata chain with more than 20 branches listed on Wongnai, and Wongnai marks it as the head office. It sits on the corner of the Banthat Thong intersection on Rama VI Road, opposite Stadium One. The shop is air-conditioned and has a second floor.

You order sets, not a buffet. Ryoii lists a small set at 330 baht, a medium at 440, a large at 550 and a beef set at 499, and Wongnai reviewers ordered the 330 set and a 399-baht "moo jiao perd jai" set. Add-on plates include pork neck, pork shoulder, pork belly, sua rong hai beef brisket and pork intestine.

The second draw is the som tum, yam and fried-food kitchen, which runs under its own name: Luang Prabang papaya salad 69 baht, yam mama instant-noodle salad 99, salmon salad with salted egg yolk and moo yor 189, seared Isan-style beef 159 and fried rice with pork crackling 39. Reviewers mention live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Listings disagree on hours: Google gives 16:00 to 01:00 on weekdays and 11:00 to 01:00 at weekends, Wongnai 16:00 to 23:30 on weekdays and 11:30 to 23:30 at weekends, and Ryoii 16:00 to 02:00 every day, so call ahead if you plan to arrive late. Wongnai notes there is no parking. Google rating 4.9 from more than 3,000 reviews.
