Jirakaan serves Thai food from recorded old recipe of Ratanakosin Era inherited from the reign of King Rama 2. The most prosperous years of cuisine evolution is during the reign of King Rama 5 when Thailand started to have printing/publishing house and royal family members who had been assigned to work in royal kitchen started to share their families' recipe to public. Thai cuisine has been drastically changing, developing, evolving since then. We trace back how Thai people eat in the past both in Palace and Village and revive those beautiful memories onto the plates at Jirakaan. No pork menu and all meats are from halal sources.
Excellent service and recommendations from our server. We had the appetizer platter, which had a nice selection. The brisket was super tender and juicy.The mango salad was refreshing. Our favorite was the Kaeng Rawaeng curry.
Excellent food with great ambience. Love the steak. Will definitely come back.
Jirakaan Restaurant is a charming Thai restaurant with a large tree towering in the center, offering an inviting atmosphere perfect for entertaining guests.The cuisine is Thai, yet it has a European flair. I highly recommend ordering the dish featuring large fried shrimp drizzled with a little “nam chim gai,” a sweet chili sauce. Since the restaurant is located a short way down from Soi 51, it’s a shame that the walk from the BTS Thong Lo Station is quite long. It would have been nice if they offered a shuttle service. Another regret is that I was too full to try the dessert this time.
The prawns were particularly plump and delicious!
