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.

Why go, and how to do it well
Boat noodles first. Several stalls here do them, you pick your meat and your noodle thickness, and the broth is good enough that you shouldn't need to pile on the chilli and sugar from the caddy. That's my test for any noodle soup, and this place passes it. Beyond that you've got pad thai, pork rice, grilled skewers, fried chicken, papaya salad, curries and Thai desserts, which is enough spread that a group with different appetites can all eat happily. The Thai tea has had its critics, so I'd drink something else.
It sits on the 6th floor of MBK Center, air-conditioned, clean, with shared seating and the usual food court efficiency. Prices are fair for central Bangkok. Some of the stalls have been here for years, which is why regulars keep coming back rather than treating it as a shopping-trip afterthought.

Reviews from Google
MBK Food Legends is a popular food court inside MBK Center offering a great mix of tasty Thai and international dishes at reasonable prices. You’ll find classic local eats like pad thai, grilled skewers, papaya salad, curries and desserts, plus drinks and snacks — all in one clean, air-conditioned space. It’s a convenient stop for a quick, affordable meal between shopping at MBK or exploring the nearby Siam area.
This is a food court, customers have to use a payment card where money is paid in. Then when they're finished, any money left in the card will be refunded upon its return. Any criticism about ambience and having too much people, traffic, energy, activity, etc is misplaced. That said, after a whole day of shopping and taking in the frenetic mall culture, in such a highly urbanised setting like Bangkok --- MBK Food Legends becomes a welcome oasis with good food, at reasonable prices. We came with a Thai friend who explained that she used to come here often as a young professional, at the end of very long days at work. Now she was back with us, she reminisced about how much she actually missed the local stalls, since she's based in a different part of the city nowadays. Well, we couldn't agree more. The quality is good and the price even better, so you can have at least two courses: mains and dessert! Like we did.
The food court uses a prepaid card system. There are many varieties of food. We ordered the pork rice and fried chicken. The Thai tea did not taste authentic.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
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.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
