foodwOrld
Situated on the 7th floor of CentralWorld, one of Bangkok's largest shopping malls, this food court brings together a wide range of stalls under one roof, with a particular emphasis on Thai cuisine and desserts. Visitors have noted the impressive variety of options, from savoury dishes to beautifully presented Thai sweets, making it a reliable stop for groups or solo diners wanting flexibility without committing to a single restaurant.
The atmosphere is lively and casual, typical of a well-patronised mall food court. Dessert offerings receive consistent praise from visitors, with Thai glutinous rice and other traditional sweets among the highlights. Portions are decent for the price, and the quality across multiple stalls is generally considered good value.

Reviews from Google
I tried two different food stalls inside the Foodworld at CentralWorld. I don’t remember the exact names, but both dishes were really good. The taste and portion were worth the price. A great place to try different foods if you’re visiting.
Need to buy a credit QR coded paper from a kiosk. This QR coded paper is be scanned to pay for all food & drinks here at FoodwOrld. Cashless handling. There are 2 kiosks side by side & these 2 only take cash. No credit or debit cards. Can be troublesome if no cash. The Thai orange drink is the best of the 4 plastic bottled drinks: lime, pomegranate, avocado & passion fruit mix. Prices range from THB 40, 45, 50; a paper cup of ice is THB 3. The pork knuckle with rice & 2 vegetables is THB 69. Good if chosen pork knuckle was braised long enough to soften the ‘collagen’. First try was great. Second try was not so soft, chewy at thinner parts. The boil egg is so soft yet firm. Not onsen egg but still very jelly like soft & firm. Cost 15 THB. The pad thai with 2 prawns (shrimp) is nicely presented but too sweet. Cost 80 THB. Many options. Seats are easy to find during off peak periods. 2026 January (3rd week)
Need to deposit money in the Kiosk Machine, then will issue out a receipt with QR, this receipt can use to order food inside the food court, just present this receipt to will do. Food portion a bit small and taste not so good, for me is normal and the price nothing to complain since inside shopping mall. Balance money can be refund in the kiosk machine by scanning the QR code will do.

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.
