You’ll find by far the most authentic best tasting dumpling in Bangkok Chinatown at The Canton House. It is not easy to reach the famous Yaowarat Road in Bangkok by public transport. But to eat dumplings here we took the effort a couple of times
Atmosphere.
It is one large open room with fake brick walls and black and white paintings on the walls. They fit as many tables and chairs inside as possible. Let’s just say you don’t go here for the atmosphere but for the food.
Food.
In the menu you’ll first find a variety of Thai style salads and steamed vegetable options. This is followed by some typical fried seafood and vegetable as starts. You’ll also find main dishes like steak, chicken and fish. But the very best are the authentic dumplings. The variety of dumplings is huge from steamed to fired to different kind of fillings. My favorite are the buns and the ones that have a mushroom filling.
Price.
The dumpling dishes cost around 30 Baht each. For two people we would generally order 6-8 small plates.
Location.
As said, The Canton House is located on Yaowarat Road, in the heart of Chinatown in Bangkok. It’s best to get here by taxi. Here is a Google Maps Link to the restaurant.
More information about The Canton House you can find on their website.
Last visit of the restaurant was May 2019.
