Samrub Samrub Thai Bangkok

Stepping into Samrub Samrub Thai was like entering an art gallery—you are assaulted by ideas, yet there are details so subtle you need time to feel their presence.

I was told the chef worked with local artists on many details of the restaurant—from decor to tableware—and collaborated with local farmers for supplies. Food-wise I loved the menu at first bite.

Chef Prin Polsuk delved into ancient cookbooks to reproduce heritage dishes using seasonal ingredients. Traditional cooking techniques combined with updated approaches to produce a rollercoaster of flavours—it was intriguing.

I was tickled by the current range of tableware themed on the female nipple—it was feminine without being salacious.

Samrub Samrub Thai in Bangkok is renowned for offering a unique, intimate dining experience with a focus on reviving ancient Thai recipes. Chef Prin Polsuk, who previously worked at Nahm, leads the restaurant and is known for his deep knowledge of Thai cuisine. His aim is to create meals that blend traditional Thai flavors with innovative presentations, resulting in dishes that are distinct yet rooted in heritage.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Samrub Samrub Thai, where Chef Prin Polsuk’s May-June 2024 menu paid homage to traditional Thai flavors with a modern twist.

The journey began with colorful prawn crackers and beef dumplings, each providing a delightful play on textures. The steamed banana blossom curry with grilled chicken stood out for its layered flavors, perfectly accentuated by the curry's aromatic spices.

In the main course selection, the grilled blue river prawn paired with star gooseberry and Indian mulberry leaves delivered a refreshing citrus and herbal medley, while the caramelized sea bass with pickled mustard greens provided a beautiful balance of savory and tangy notes. The medicinal pigeon curry, bursting with wild ginger and lemon basil, offered a deeply aromatic taste, while the stir-fried rice field eel added a bold, spicy, and sour kick.

Dessert was a revelation with a unique sun-dried banana cake and a burnt pandanus pudding. The lychee ice tube, refreshing and fruity, capped off this unforgettable dining experience.

Samrub Samrub Thai is a celebration of Chef Prin's culinary mastery, creating an exceptional dining journey that seamlessly blends the heritage of Thai cuisine with innovative flair.

The restaurant has a cozy, private atmosphere that bridges the gap between the kitchen and guests, allowing diners to witness the preparation of these intricate dishes. Its innovative approach and Chef Prin's dedication to quality earned it a Michelin star, highlighting its status among the city's top dining destinations. Less

“It’s all about love,” says Prin Polusk.

When you see this irrepressibly happy guy behind the counter at @samrubsamrubthai, you know it’s true.

Tb to my autumn visit. Belated congratulations to @prinpolsuk and @goodmorningmint on the Michelin 🌟 accolade! Samrub offers a fresh take on Thai ingredients and flavors, presented with cheekiness in spades. No rules, no restrictions. It’s so much fun being here, in the couple’s family home, where they can do exactly what they want. The only difficulty is trying to stop Prin from refilling your glass. Less
