Michelin-starred street food vendor famed for crab omelets
"Still the country’s most sought-after street food experience, the now-legendary crab omelette here is golden-brown—crisp on the outside, custardy within—and worth the wait." - Navya Verma
"Fiery crab omelets headline Thailand’s first Michelin-starred street stall." - Sharan Kuganesan
"A deservedly popular Bangkok icon that doesn’t take bookings, so arriving early and preparing to queue pays off. The begoggled chef’s signature crispy, golden‑brown crab omelettes are simply unparalleled, and the stir‑fried noodles with seafood and gravy offer yet another reason to love this local legend." - Michael He
"Yes, you’ll definitely have to wait for the crab omelet from Raan Jay Fai—we did for over three hours. But how often do you get to win the crab lottery in the form of a crustacean-loaded omelette cooked by an 81-year-old street food legend? The answer is only here. The omelet, and every other dish with crab, like one with celery leaves and chilies, are wholeheartedly worth the wait. Get there as early as you can (they open at 9am), put your name down on the list, and be ready for your number to be called. If you need to kill some time, walk to the nearby Wat Saket Ratchawora Mahawihan Buddhist temple, and then head back for the best crab you’ll have in your life. video credit: Carlo Mantuano video credit: Carlo Mantuano video credit: Carlo Mantuano Pause Unmute" - Carlo Mantuano
