What we are seeing now is a new mix of restaurants shaping where and how people choose to eat, with concepts that feel considered and easy to step into. This selection includes some truly fresh openings alongside places that have been around just long enough to build a name but still feel new enough to be part of the conversation.

This list brings together 11 restaurant openings worth knowing now. Some are already drawing attention, others are still settling in, but all feel like they have something to say about where Bangkok dining is heading this year.

Curry Up

Central Embassy welcomes something a little different with the arrival of Curry Up Bangkok, a Japanese curry shop with roots in street culture. Created by Nigo, the name behind Human Made, this marks the brand’s first outpost in Southeast Asia. Sitting right next to the Human Made store, the space combines food and fashion in a way that feels natural, with a clean, casual setup that leans more lifestyle than traditional restaurant.

The menu keeps things focused, with a short list of signature dishes rather than a long selection. Options include butter chicken curry, known for its rich and rounded flavour, alongside spiced beef curry and lighter choices like eggplant curry. There is also a half-and-half option for those who want to try more than one at once. Beyond the food the space carries exclusive Bangkok items, from T-shirts to small collectibles, making it just as appealing for browsing as it is for a quick meal. It is an easy stop for both food and fashion, especially if you are already in the area.

2nd Floor, Central Embassy, Phloen Chit Road, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok. Open daily from 10am–9pm.

Hippopotoshi

Soi Ruamrudee has a new spot worth knowing, and Hippopotoshi BKK fits right in with the neighbourhood’s easy mix of casual and polished. This French Japanese bistro, led by Chef Hitoshi Komatsu, brings serious kitchen experience into a setting that feels relaxed from the moment you walk in. It is the sort of place you can bring anyone and still feel like you have discovered something a bit special.

The menu keeps things interesting without overcomplicating them. Saumon marine is fresh and neatly balanced, while burrata tomato salad does exactly what it should, simple, clean and impressive. For something richer, foie gras okonomiyaki is a fun standout, and maguro hoho steak shows off the kitchen’s skill with a rare cut that is both tender and full of flavour. Round it off with poulet roti, which is comforting in the best way. Prices feel fair for what you get and that alone makes this one easy to come back to.

15/2 Woodberry Common, Building B, 1st Floor, Soi Ruamrudee, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok. Tel: +66 82 547 7005. Open from Tuesday to Sunday from 4pm–11pm.

Jakawaan

Set just off Thonglor Soi 9, Jakawaan is one of those new openings that has quietly started to draw attention. Led by menu development chef, food stylist and food designer Vipittichak “Nick” Pitthayanont, whose work sits behind several well-regarded kitchens in the city, the concept leans into Thai dining through a mix of tapas-style bites and the more structured samrub. It feels considered but still easygoing, with a sense that something more is already taking shape and the menu is only just getting started.

Early glimpses of the menu suggest a focus on Thai flavours presented with a more contemporary touch. There are a few playful bites inspired by traditional snacks, alongside more composed dishes that bring in depth and technique. Relishes and dips seem to play a role as well, designed for sharing and building a table. Desserts follow the same direction, taking traditional ideas and giving them a gentle update. It comes across as the kind of place that is easy to be curious about right now.

209 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok. Tel: +66 64 294 2365.

Lemon and Garlic

Just off Naradhiwas Soi 2 near Chong Nonsi, Lemon and Garlic brings a light Mediterranean feel into the city with a space that leans bright and easy to settle into. The setting moves between indoor and outdoor seating with a soft, garden-like mood that makes it feel slightly removed from the pace outside. It is also pet friendly, making it an easy choice for those looking to bring their dogs along for a slow brunch or a casual afternoon stop.

The menu includes a mix of brunch and Mediterranean plates, from garlic prawns and grilled chicken with miso to lighter options like tomato and burrata salad and carrot yoghurt. There is also a strong focus on toast-based dishes and house-made elements, alongside desserts that take things a step further. Options such as crepes and chocolate mousse round out the menu, with an emphasis on balanced flavours and good ingredients. It reads as a spot that keeps things simple but with enough detail to make it worth the visit.

6 Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Road, Suriya Wong, Bang Rak, Bangkok. Tel: +66 82 849 4880. Open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9am–10pm.

Piscari

High above the city on the 23rd floor of Andaz One Bangkok, Piscari brings a Mediterranean mood to Bangkok with a setting that shifts from sunset dinners into late-night drinks. The space is designed for social dining with a main dining area, an open terrace and a selection of private rooms for smaller gatherings. A hidden bar sits in the background, adding another layer to the experience.

The menu centres on shareable Mediterranean plates, with dishes such as cured ocean trout, veal loin and pâté en croûte, followed by mains like grilled octopus, seabass and iberico pork. Desserts keep things light with options like pistachio mille-feuille to finish. The bar plays an equally important role with cocktails built to be fresh and balanced, making it easy to move from dinner into drinks as the night picks up. It’s a place designed for long evenings, whether you start early or arrive later for the atmosphere.

23rd Floor, Andaz One Bangkok, Rama IV Road, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok. Tel: +66 2 483 1234. Open daily from 5pm–12am.

Quilombo Bangkok

Thonglor has no shortage of steakhouses, but Quilombo Bangkok stands apart with its focus on fire, meat and a setting that feels a little unexpected. Located in Thonglor Soi 5, the space leans into a moody, stone-clad interior that gives it a sense of escape from the usual city pace. Created by Christopher Mark and Manuel Palacio, the restaurant brings a straightforward take on Argentine cooking, where the emphasis is on quality ingredients and confident grilling.

The menu keeps close to tradition, including classic starters such as empanadas, chorizo and crab with avocado before moving into a selection of dry-aged steaks cooked over a charcoal parrilla. Cuts like the t-bone are a key focus, served alongside simple sides such as mushrooms and crisp-fried onions. There are also options like chicken milanesa and caesar salad prepared at the table, adding a bit of variety to the lineup. To finish, desserts lean traditional with flan and chocolate cake rounding things off. It reads as a place built for those who enjoy a proper steakhouse experience without overcomplicating it.

105/2 Sukhumvit 55, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok. Tel: +66 62 987 9777. Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 5.30pm–12am.

Sakkwa

Talat Noi has a new table worth booking and Sakkwa feels like a natural next step for those who followed Kavee. Led by Chef Worathon “Tae” Udomchalothorn, this modern Thai restaurant shifts from fine dining into a more relaxed and shareable format without losing its sense of detail. The room is warm and easy, set above the street in a part of the city that already feels full of character.

The menu leans into familiar Thai flavours, reworked with a lighter touch. Dishes include marinated tiger prawns that read bright and aromatic, while scallops with coconut and cucumber offer a refreshing start. Plates such as smoked duck sausage and stir-fried celtuce add depth, and curry of grilled pork cheek with cassia leaves keeps things grounded in tradition. To finish, pineapple dessert brings a clean, balanced end to the meal. It all feels considered but not complicated, with prices that make coming back an easy decision.

4th Floor, 839 Charoenkrung Road, Talat Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok. Tel: +66 63 926 6575. Open from Wednesday to Monday from 5.30pm–11.30pm.

Sasa Khaotom Bar

At Market Place Thonglor, Sasa Khaotom Bar brings a fresh, slightly glammed-up take on the classic khao tom experience. Set on the second floor, the space leans photogenic and playful, with an open counter that keeps things moving in a fast casual rhythm. It is the kind of place where Thai favourite food meets a more social, late night energy.

The menu centres around small plates designed for mixing and matching, with a mix of Thai-Chinese Teochew flavours that feel familiar but dialled up. Expect everything from comforting staples to more creative twists, all with punchy seasoning that works well alongside the house khao tom. There is a free-flow option if you feel like settling in, or you can go for individual dishes and build your own table. It reads as fun and easy especially if you come with a group and try a bit of everything.

2nd Floor, Market Place Thonglor, 323 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok. Tel: 081 075 2980. Open daily from 10am–2am.

Silo

Silom’s dining scene gets a jolt of energy with Silo, a tight fire-driven space that puts its kitchen fully on show. Built around an open-flame setup, the restaurant leans into smoke, heat and instinct, with chefs working the grill in full view. It is still in soft opening and already drawing attention, helped by a compact room and a mood that feels more underground than polished, in a good way.

The menu moves between small plates and larger cuts, all shaped by the fire. Expect dishes like grilled squid and soft-shell crab with koji alongside red snapper and wagyu, with the jasmine wagyu often singled out as a highlight. Flavours come through direct and confident, with just enough restraint to let the ingredients speak. It is the kind of place that feels current, slightly raw and worth getting in early before it settles.

Trinity Complex, 425/4 Soi Silom 5, Si Lom, Bang Rak, Bangkok. Tel: +66 95 425 6990. Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 6pm–11pm.

Somsak

Ekkamai gets a lively new addition with Somsak, a modern Isan restaurant that leans fully into its personality. Backed by the team behind Fatboy Izakaya and Kim Jeong Grill, the space is colourful and full of energy, with music and design that set the tone from the moment you walk in. The name comes with a story inspired by a taxi driver who won the lottery in London before returning to open a restaurant, and that sense of character carries through the entire experience bringing a sense of fun into both the setting and the food.

The menu includes a wide range of Isan dishes, from som tam and laab to grilled meats and sharing plates. Expect punchy flavours across dishes like marinated salads, spicy soups and charcoal-grilled cuts, alongside playful options such as fried squid with laab seasoning and rice dishes built for sharing. There are also desserts and drinks that lean into the same spirit, making it just as suited for a full meal as it is for a longer night out.

Ekkamai Corner, 1319 Sukhumvit Road, Phra Khanong Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok. Tel: +66 83 262 9154. Open from Sunday to Wednesday from 11am–10.30pm and from Thursday to Saturday from 11am–11.30pm.

Wisetwiso

Sathon has a new fine-dining address, and Wisetwiso is one to keep an eye on. Rooted in royal Thai culinary traditions, the concept reinterprets heritage recipes through a more contemporary lens. Led by Chef Chakkrapoom “Poom” Boonyakom, the restaurant draws from recipes passed down through his family, set inside a restored house on Chuea Phloeng Road. His background, from growing up around royal Thai cooking to working with farms and local producers, is evident in the way he cooks.

The menu is presented as a tasting format, moving through dishes inspired by traditional Thai flavours. From what is being shared, highlights include dry-aged fish with tom kha elements, river prawn gaeng liang and mains such as grilled chicken with chilli relish and wagyu panang. It comes across as a thoughtful addition to Bangkok’s fine-dining scene, particularly for those interested in Thai cuisine with a stronger link to its roots.

44/7 Chuea Phloeng Road, Thung Maha Mek, Sathon, Bangkok 10120. Tel: +66 98 919 2244. Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 6pm onwards.
