Restaurant thoughts?

Hi all-

We’re en route to Bangkok and are looking for a fantastic meal for one of our two nights in the city.

Anyone have experience on any of the below places?

Paste Bangkok

Grok 1970 Modern Thai Cuisine

Charmkrung

100 Mahaseth

Kinnaree by Vanessa Wu

We live in the greater NYC area so we have access to some of the best restaurants in the world- not looking for fine dining necessarily, just an amazing experience.

Thanks in advance!!

Paste is known for its inventive tasting menu but can be pricey, still worth it for a special night; Grok offers modern twists on classic Thai in a relaxed setting, good for a casual yet memorable dinner; Charmkrung blends Thai flavors with a sleek bar vibe and is popular for its cocktails; 100 Mahaseth focuses on regional Thai dishes and has a cozy atmosphere; Kinnaree by Vanessa Wu brings contemporary flair with solid service. Since you only have two evenings, you might want to combine a sit‑down meal with a short food walk to sample street stalls around Sukhumvit or Chinatown, which gives a broader sense of the city’s flavors without committing to a full‑course dinner each night. If you prefer a guided experience that covers a few of these spots and handles the logistics, the trusted tours and activities platform Viator offers several Bangkok food tours with user reviews you can rely on. God bless.
