Review

At Baan, one of Thailand’s leading home-grown chefs, Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, steps back from the modernist culinary techniques he learned in New York to focus on homey everyday Thai meals. Co-run with younger brother Chaisiri, Baan dishes out unpretentious meals that prove chic, high-quality dining can be delivered at pocket-friendly prices. It’s an ideal spot for visitors to experience authentic, simple Thai dishes, elevating Thai food court and street food staples with refined execution and seasoning. Beef pad kra pao features a combination of dry-aged beef with a seasoning twist that intrigues even local diners. Pa loew tom zap combines the central Thai dish, pa loew, with Isaan tom zap, creating an exquisitely well-rounded blend of both regions. Baan uses well sourced ingredients, and the portions are ideal for sharing, making it suited to family-style dining. The taste of many dishes evokes memories of childhood or perhaps meals that grandma would prepare at family gatherings. Located on Wireless road, Baan is easy to find and maintains a family style ambience. Service staff at Baan are keen to offer recommendations. Complete your dining experience with classic, coconut sticky rice with mango, one of the best in town. The drinks menu offers variety, complementing the cuisine. Overall Baan delivers on expectations; authentic Thai home-comfort dishes in a friendly setting.
