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 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!
Some of the dishes in the menu are new to me - not a typical Thai restaurant dishes. I wish I have more time in Bangkok to taste the dishes. Plenty to choose from! The decor is cozy and not over the top.It felt like going to a neighbourhood restaurant, cozy and great ambience to entertain guests. It feels like going to a good local restaurant instead of going to a tourist place. Excellent service, super yummy food and a cozy place to spend time with your company.
