On Lok Yun

We got here around 7:30am on a Monday and there was no line. We were directed to sit upstairs where we ordered our food. The restaurant has definitely been open however long they say it was open. It shows. But there was the basics. Tables and seats. We ordered the basics from the menu that’s in English. Drinks scrambled eggs with 3 toppings and three toasts. It was great and satisfied our needs for the morning. The service was quick and simple, they got your order, they bring your order, they thank you and send you downstairs for payment. By the time we left a line was starting to form. It cost us ฿315 (four drinks, 3 topping egg, 3 toasts) which I don’t think is cheap from a local price point but good find overall. I do recommend to check it out.

What a great way to start the day in Bangkok! We lined up for a few minutes, but it was worth it because we really wanted to try this. The food was so unique, something I’ve never had before. The bread with custard dip was the best! Pair it with coffee and it’s just perfect.

On Luk Yun, tucked in the heart of Old Siam, feels like stepping back into a traditional ASEAN breakfast scene from the early ’90s. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t just fill your stomach, it warms your heart, too. I loved the toast and their kaya. It’s quite different from the Singaporean version tho. Thai kaya is creamier and more custard-like, while the Singaporean one has a deeper, caramelized sugar flavor. Honestly, I preferred the Thai style. The bread was incredibly soft, too, like a Filipino loaf bread but without the crusty edges. It was almost unreal how pillowy it felt. The breakfast sampler was also amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had bacon and hotdogs that satisfying in my 20s! The Chinese sausage was another favorite, it added a nostalgic, flavorful kick to the whole meal. The line was long, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth the wait. Id definitely come back!

I love Ham Cheese Eggs so much !! I’m Thai and I pass by this place all the time. It’s like the original, an old, traditional shop. The menu is simple and easy to understand, but the taste is really delicious.

The pretty lady at the outside counter could smile more and be a bit more polite to new customers visiting for the first time. Other than that, everything here was very nice and friendly. The boss lady taught us how to mix the sauces and explained it well. Really love the vibe here. Still has that old-school feel — simple and happy kind of breakfast.

Visited this place over ten years ago when it was still a hidden gem — getting a seat in the morning was a breeze. These days, it’s a different story. Even at the same hour, there’s a queue system with number cards, and it’s not just locals anymore; tourists are flocking in too. Used to be a little secret, until social media spilled the beans! That said, the staff are still just as cheerful and incredibly friendly. Prices remain very affordable, which makes the wait worthwhile.

Try to come early to avoid the long lines. This place gets busy as early as 7am! But if you do have to wait, it took about 10-15 mins til I got a seat, turnover is quick. Not sure if the elderly man at the front is the owner but he is efficient! He’s everywhere all at once. Milk tea and iced latte are so good. Really enjoyed the traditional and comforting breakfast. I visited twice, but definitely coming back when I’m in BKK again.

Thai breakfast eatery serves classic dishes just like in the old days — from freshly made fried egg , sausage and crispy bacon. The atmosphere feels warm and nostalgic, with simple wooden tables and friendly service.
