Nara Restaurant, Bangkok

July 11th, 2006

I just had a chance to dine at this restaurant and think it is one of the BEST Thai restaurants in Bangkok! The restaurant is located at the lower ground floor of the Erawan Sogo Bangkok and the easiest way to get there is to take the BTS Skytrain and get off at Chidlom Station. From here there is a connecting bridge directly go into the shopping plaza). The decoration of the restaurant is simple and contemporary Thai style in the cozy atmosphere but the food is really great! My recommendations for its specialities are:

Recommended choices for a simple and quick lunch menu:
* Phad Thai Kai Krob (Stir-fried rice noodles with prawns in sweet tamarind sauce with 
   crispy fried plain omlette)
* Kuay Tiew Rua (Famous Ayuthaya boat noodle served dried or with soup with pork 
   or beef)

If you have more time - we would recommend the following dishes:
* Mee Krob (Crispy fried thin rice noodles with sweet tamarind sauce)
* Yam Som O (Thai-style Pomelo Salad)
* Koong Tord Makam (Fried river prawns with sweet tamarind sauce)
* Poo Nim Phad Pong Curry (Stir-fried soft shell crab with yellow curry)

Prices are ranging from around THB 80.00-THB 350.00 each depending what you order but all in all we think they are very reasonable. The restaurant is opened for lunch and dinner daily from 11.00 a.m. 10.00 p.m.

Well - if you are looking for an authentic Thai restaurant at reasonable prices in the city center of Bangkok - here is your choice!

By the way - its very casual restaurant so no proper attire needed even for dinner.
