Today I want to show you why I think Bangkok’s best value dim sum is not in Chinatown, it’s in Charoen Krung Road. This will be my third video from Bang Khao Laem and I think I may have just saved the best till last!
What makes Tuang Dim Sum so special is that Hong Kong-born chef Yip, was the man behind the success of the 5 star Shangri-La Hotel’s Shang Palace restaurant. He gave that up to open this small little non descriptive dim sum eatery and hasn’t looked back!
When you see its walls pasted with food certificates and awards, you know instantly that this is a step up from your typical Thai dim sum joint. Praised by many as one of the best and most affordable dim sum restaurants in all of Bangkok, Tuang is my pick as the best value dim sum in Bangkok, if not Thailand!
We had Sui Mai, Bao Buns, Har gow, Xia Long Bao and Cheong fun all times 2 or 3!
The whole feast we had came to 488 THB - £11.45 / $13.95 which is what it would cost for two pieces in London! This is 5 Star Hotel Dim Sum at Thai Street Food Prices!

We actually also went to a Chinese noodle shop after as I say at the end of the video but the owner was so friendly that I decided it needed a separate video! You can view that by clicking the link below:

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this KZbin channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

The thick Xiao Long Bao is done for a reason, it goes with their style of operation, they have to resist over steaming and breaking up, they are not delicate like other restaurants which are more genteel.
