Tonoak is on everyone’s list for a few reasons: fresh food, flavors you’ll find at grandma’s kitchen, and great value. This is the best balance between price and quality you’ll find in Bangkok, with the business mostly kept afloat by hungry tourists, and office workers and students looking to save their cash. The menu is full of comforting home-style meals that are perfect for sharing, such as minced pork balls, Thai-style omelettes, and cat rice (fried rice with Thai mackerel).
