Charmkrung

Another packed day of shopping, eating sightseeing to Jim Thompsoms House, and finally a stop off at a very lovely localish spot. Charmkrung is the bigger sister of Charmgang downstairs across the road. From what I was told, they had better wines, better seating, better views, better vibes. Sounded good, so we tuktuked our asses over there! We walked in as it was opening and it was empty at 6, but full by 7. Service was fast but relaxed, with a room mixing affluent locals and foreign like us seamlessly, without any awkwardness. Food was way above average with great flavours and quality, and the chefs showed real skill. Direct, salty sweet and meant to be eaten quickly. The Beef Martabak Wellington is one not to be missed, the duck was also fantastic... which was tough couse we had already rated one of the starters a solid 9.2/10 🤣 (Dry aged fish sitting on a betel leaf btw! Don't miss it either to be fair) All washed down with a sparkling rosè and a sparkling water. A chilled spot with no pretence. Just good drinks and fab bowls in a district that feels local, lived in and quietly confident.

The food is delicious and good for sharing. Go with a bigger group—that way you can order and try more dishes. They have several non-spicy options (like the grilled chicken, duck, and grilled catfish) for anyone who can't handle the heat. The restaurant has nice vibes, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the entire service. Food ordered for four person, with complimentary crème brûlée.

We booked a table in advance to welcome our crews from BC, but ended up had to wait at the bar even we showed up earlier than our booking time. The service s nice overall, only some tried to clear a table while we are still eating and didnt have more order to come. All dishes are good (esp the oyster very fresh and creamy in seafood sauce) tasty, nice fusion design. But some as the curry that came out too salty, even we mentioned our concern to a staff, they insisted that it should be salty this way( That is our main complaint), another was dried beef that came out pretty hard but it s ok. We ended up been served my coconut ice-cream which led us to think that is a way to apologize but not really as we noticed that the staff also served these to other tables. Overall is good except some concerns that didnt get any solution till the end.

Food and service were amazing! Despite calling it a wine bar, i do think its family friendly! The food were spot on and the service was immaculate My personal fav was the pani puri crab and the watermelon salad (super spicy) but the fusion of the ingredients just made it so memorable for me The balance of flavours were fantastic and i wont be surprised if this restaurant gets recognized in the top awards / guides soon

Food was good, but the service wasn’t so I wouldn’t go back. Some of my favorite dishes were the crab pani puri, prawns in tamarind sauce, panang and green curries as well as the coconut ice cream based dessert with pandan sago, pineapple jelly and a crispy coconut wafer. The food came in a timely manner but the drinks took ages. My husband had to wait over 20 minutes to get a bottled beer and our friends had to wait ages to get their wines refilled which was annoying. For a place that is really hyped up in Bangkok I wish they had more attentive staff. It may not take away from the high quality of food, but it does affect the customer experience.

I love how they present Thai dishes in a fun, creative way while still keeping the flavours truly authentic. The vibe is absolutely perfect for hanging out with friends slightly smoky, warm, and filled with the aroma from the open kitchen—a great spot for good food and good company.

Offshoot of the popular Charmgang. Great vibe, amazing food. Appetizers especially good. Mussels served like satay, fried tofu with pork (I will be dreaming of this) . Several others looked great as well. I enjoyed some of the main course options but I really loved the appetizers and would drive out of my way for those. Wine list was quite strong and one of the better ones I have seen in Thailand. Only slight downside was service. I thought it could have been a bit more attentive and we had to waive servers multiple times. We were also delayed by 15 minutes to leave because their POS went down.

Had a dinner here with a group of ~10. Sadly we dined on a buddism holiday, so no alcohol allowed by the (new) law. 🔀 I have mixed emotions with foods. They are good, but not the ordinary Thai more like a mixture from different cuisines. Would not recom if you're looking for authentic Thai foods. ⛔️ Portion is quite small for Appetizer and Dessert. Nothing special with non-alcohol drinks. ✅ other than that all great. Vibe is good, ambience not too loud, lighting just enough. Would be great for a date. Worth the visit if you're looking for something new from normal Thai tastes.
