Go to Yaowarat (Chinatown) in the evenings, tons of inexpensive Chinese and Seafood restaurants. You have to go by taxi, or you can take the subway (MRT) to Hua Lampong and walk about 6-8 blocks. Lots of Thais there,few farangs. Very safe. Yaowarat is also the place to go to buy gold, but the gold stores are closed in the evenings.

If you notice the list given to you earlier, many, many restaurants in hotels who pay to have their restaurants listed. I am not saying any or all of them are bad, but hotel restaurants (good or bad) have the budget to advertise and "get advertised" by "impartial" food critics.

Tong Lai Sun is a good Chinese restaurant. They have several Szechuan dishes. The are located at Sukhumvit Soi 41, in a small soi in back of Miracle Mall.

Bkk is one of the great eating destinations in the world. One proof of that is the fact that the city has some amazing Chinese restaurants in addition to her great Thai restaurants. Two of my favorite places are:

Ta Yang Grou - 5/4 soi Ngamduplee (just off Rama IV), a block south of Sathorn Road, next to the Pinnacle Hotel. This place has amazing dumplings & great northern Chinese food. It is open from 10am - 10:30pm.

This storefront restaurant has only 6 tables, but its authentic Beijing-style dishes are excellent. I recommend going the whole 9 yards by ordering the pan-fried dumplings (pork and leek & shrimp, vegetarian), the little "steamed stuffed buns" with pork stuffing, and the "lightly fried dumplings" stuffed with chopped greens and pork in thin pastry. That comes to around 40 dumplings, which should be enough for two hungry people, but I always order ma po dofu (hot Sichuan style ground pork and tofu dish) too. Have I whetted you appetite? Believe me, this is a world class dumpling place!

Rut & Lek - at corner of Yaowarat and Soi Texas (Soi Phadungdao) is a great sidewalk Chino-Thai seafood restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. It is open from 6:30pm to 2:45am.

The restaurant's specialties include mollusks grilled in their shells, whole kingfish smothered with minced coriander and herbs then baked in foil with black pepper and garlic, grilled succulent giant prawns, deep-fried squid with garlic, whole snapper steamed in a broth with ginger, green onions and preserved Chinese plums and crab fried rice. Don't miss this place. I have been coming here for years.

Gogul, thanks for your recommendations. It seems you have a good grasp of chinese food. In your opinion, which restaurant would you recommend for good and authentic Cantonese dimsum?...I prefer Cantonese over the trendy Teuchow cuisine.

Totally agree on Rut & Lek, great place, didn't really know the name but know the location well, great seafood and very, very reasonable.

If we are discussing dim sum, one place I go to often (again don't know the name) is located roughly between the Ratchatewi and Playathai BTS stops. Ratchatewi is the stop in front of the Asia Hotel. If you exit at Ratchatewi on the Asia side and walk up to Phetburi Road, cross it, then the dim sum restaurant is about another 200 yards/meters up. Not small, maybe seats about 100 people, never seen another farang in the place. Each plate was 15 baht, and a large choice of dim sum as well as larger thai dishes and seafood. It has always been very crowded each time I have gone. Dim sum is excellent as well as the chrysanthemum tea. The place is an easy 15 minute walk to Panthip as well.

Khagai, wow you are two for two on my posts so far. I will make an effort to check out your recommendation. Your thoughts are right, when you see loads of chinese/thai, etc. in a restaurant, you can be sure that the food is good and freshly prepared. Dimsum is great for lunch as it gives you a chance to try different plates and share them with friends and the girls.

Went there today, had eleven dim sum plates, an order of stir fried vegetables vegetables, and chrysanthemum tea, bill 250 baht. Incidentally, the place is called Khrua Krungthep (Bangkok Kitchen), sorry, don't have Thai keyboard and have not memorized where all the Thai consonant and vowels are so I will abstain from writing it in Thai script.
