I had already been to this restaurant a few years ago and remembered it best. The place is nice enough, but the food is just mediocre. I don't think I will be back.

Lovely restaurant in an old house with a lovely outside courtyard. The food was excellent and very good value. I would highly recommend it.

After 2,5 years of Covid we returned to Bangkok. Another chance for Baan Chiang to show that downhill is over and they are returning to what it used to be. But no. What are you missing when chicken satay is not available? The sticks? You...do have plenty of chicken on the menu. Maybe spices or peanuts… ha ha? Probably so because our appetizers were both absolutely of no taste. Three mains… so and so but nothing to bring us back. The atmosphere is something you would like to see more in Bangkok but only that does not bring us back to Baan Chiang. Unfortunately. Be more local and give some taste to your food and we might try again… but not in near future.More

Not near anything really other than where we were staying. Call us lazy but we wanted to walk somewhere. Restaurant had about 10 tables indoors and others outside but nicely decorated. Service friendly and efficient. We had lots of really nice food, from red curry,...green curry, massaman, all superb. Pandan leave chicken was a bit dry, calamari a mistake, but other than just those two dishes, we had a lovely evening. Reasonably priced also. In the end we went twice! And I don’t do that oftenMore

We just love to come here. The “Ban Chiang” is our Thai neighborhood restaurant and is located in one of these nice old bungalows in Silom (5 min walking from Surasak BTS). So perfect for a lunch with colleagues during the week, for a dinner...with the family or a get together with friends on the weekend. They have parking for 2-3 cars and a little garden where you can sit outside (smoking permitted). When you sit inside this wooden house with its nice authentic decoration you feel some Siam history. The staff is very polite, but don’t understand much English. The food is of a very good quality and you find all favorite Thai dishes on the menu. It’s not one of those fancy posh places with all that fusion food. Just real Thai, nice atmosphere and very reasonable. We love it!More

Ban Chiang Thai Restaurant We (my husband and I) visited this restaurant based on Trip Advisor reviews. We had not booked so were unable to have a table outside, as we would have preferred. Instead, we were offered a table inside which was very unique...and similar, as had been suggested in the reviews, like someone’s home. We were attended to efficiently and politely, but there didn’t see to be a personal touch as with other restaurants we had visited. Our food was quickly served, well presented and delicious. In summary, it was a good meal but not one that stuck out in my mind as outstanding.More

For us the evening was really a big deception. The service and the two waiters were very unfriendly, no smiling, not even a warm welcome. It looks like they have never learnt how to do a nice and attentive service. The food was okay, but...not better than in other Thai restaurants. We can NOT recommend this restaurant. This was really not a nice atmosphere on the terrace. Very unfriendly service!!More

We returned for yet another lovely meal. The building is a traditional thai style home turned restaurant. Service is professional yet warm and helpful. The flavors were fantastic. A wonderful meal at reasonable prices. I've been coming here since the 1990's and it never fails...to impress!More

For years we have visited Ban Chiang three, four times every year. When we found it, it was a jewel and worth visiting time after time. But slowly the food has lost it charm. Now the last time will be the last for a while....The chicken satay meat had a funny texture, like it was minced chicken and tasted a little raw. Deep fried shrimp (we ordered shrimp but received squid that we sent back to the kitchen) crust was soft, not crispy at all and was like chewing gum. We left half of both appetizers on the table. Main course, chicken in red curry was ok but could have had some sweetness in it. New was 10% service charge automatically added to the bill, which is ok but would be worth mentioning as well that all prices are subject to taxes. A little more attention to the food and service please. We will give the restaurant one more chance next time but if that fails, it is goodbye -unfortunately because place is lovely and in a peaceful location.More

A very interesting restaurant close to our hotel. It has a beautiful patio/terrace and a cozy interior....we ate on the patio in 34 C heat. Food and service were very good, especially the pineapple rice dish.

We found this one accidentally, actually, we were going for another restaurant just across the road but the queues were long (it's quite popular with locals) so we ended up to Ban Chiang. Located on a quiet road a stone's throw away busy and noisy...Silom road, this fancy restaurant looks a converted belle epoque mansion so you get this feeling of dining in a warm, family establishment rather than in a massive huge restaurant without any character at all. The decoration is quite interesting, mainly wood and some old chinese style pottery and wall paintings giving this exotic Asian feels and ambience. Food is delicious, we tried pretty much all the classics and were totally satisfied. Chicken satay, delicious, fish and shrimp cake (fritters) amazing, the best we tasted in Thailand, and the steamed fish with Thai herbs was absolutely delightful. Prices quite reasonable for what you're getting provided this is a venue which is a little bit more elevated compared to the average cheap traditional thai tavernMore

Silom
Despite the lack of any major tourist attractions,
this lively neighborhood is a favorite of many.
Whether it's the (somewhat naughty) nightlife of Soi
Patpong, the various handicraft night markets or the
plethora of dining options that tickle your fancy, a
night out in Silom is a must on every itinerary. It's
worth a stop during daytime, too: join office workers
on a quest to tasty street food during lunch and shop

It's not my restaurant, but the restaurant is 5-10 minutes walk from BTS Surasak at 14 Soi Si Wiang, Surasak Rd., Bangrak . Look at Google Maps north from Surasak station.
