Aonchorn Thai restaurant
Come for the food and forgive everything else. This is a small family-run place on Prachathipatai Road, in the old Phra Nakhon part of town, and the cooking is the whole point: som tum, larb moo, gai yang, moo yang, spicy salads with real heat behind them. More than one diner mentions three dishes coming in around 200 baht, which in central Bangkok is close to unheard of.
The flip side is that the place is scruffy and the service wobbles when a crowd arrives. Reviews describe forgotten drinks, long waits, and at least one "not spicy" order that turned up spicy anyway. Nobody's rude about it, they're just a small team handling more people than the system can take. If that would ruin your evening, eat elsewhere. If you'd rather have great grilled pork than tidy plates, you'll be very happy.

Reviews from Google
Delicious food at unbelievably affordable prices. Tried a number of dishes such as som tum, spicy salmon salad, spicy Korean chicken noodle, larb moo, gai yang and moo yang and everyone one of them were excellent. The staff were super friendly and service was fast. They don't sell alcohol but you can bring your own. Highly recommended.
Really good food here. Flavoursome, authentic Thai food. Would’ve had a dessert but a large group of noisy young backpackers came in towards the end of my meal ( obviously not the restaurants fault). Highly recommended!
The food was ok, but the place is very messy. It took really long time to get our food and they were also constantly forgetting parts of our order, like drinks. We had to remind them multiple times. Also my friend ordered noodles and asked for non-spicy. And eventually after probably forgetting about this order, when we reminded them, noodles came and they were spicy. People are friendly, looks like family business, but they don't manage a high turnover of guests.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Nearby Places
