Try Me Thai & Vegetarian Restaurant

4.7(1,797 reviews)$$$$

Tucked along Soi Samsen 4 in the residential Ban Phan Thom area, this casual neighbourhood eatery has earned a strong reputation among both locals and visiting travellers for its traditional Thai cooking and genuinely accommodating approach to vegetarian dining. The dual focus on meat and plant-based dishes makes it a practical choice for groups with mixed dietary needs, a combination that is less common at smaller local restaurants. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, consistent with the everyday neighbourhood setting rather than a tourist-facing dining strip. The menu draws on classic Thai preparations, with the kitchen noted for handling spice levels and dietary requirements thoughtfully. The budget pricing makes it accessible for travellers watching daily costs without compromising on authentic flavour, and the consistent popularity across a broad mix of diners reflects a reliable standard of cooking. A practical advantage worth noting is the opening hours: the restaurant operates from 10am until midnight every day of the week, including weekends. This flexibility suits travellers dealing with jet lag, late arrivals, or simply those who prefer eating outside peak meal times when queues at popular spots tend to be shorter. The Facebook page serves as the restaurant's primary online presence and is worth checking for the latest menu updates or to make contact ahead of a visit. The Soi Samsen 4 location also places diners within a quieter, more residential pocket of Bangkok, offering a straightforward contrast to the busier central tourist areas.

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.
