Nusara opened in 2020 and is named for the grandmother of chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn
Nusara opened in 2020 and is named for the grandmother of chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn, whose recipes anchor the menu. Run with his brother Chaisiri 'Tam' Tassanakajohn, it occupies a tiny dining room in Ta Tien in the Old Town, seating only around ten guests and looking straight out at the golden spires of Wat Pho.
That combination - a heartfelt family tribute in one of Bangkok's most beautiful settings - has made it one of the hardest reservations in the city, and it ranks No. 5 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2026. It holds one MICHELIN star in the 2026 Thailand selection, the second star in the family after Le Du. The room's view of Wat Pho lit up at night gives every meal a sense of occasion.
Across roughly twelve to fifteen courses, Ton reinterprets his grandmother's home cooking alongside traditional Thai and royal dishes dating to the Rama V era of the early 1900s. It is more nostalgic and heritage-driven than his flagship Le Du, the flavors familial and deeply Thai.
Temple views and family recipes make this a signature Bangkok table. Book far in advance, aim for an evening seating when Wat Pho is illuminated, and treat it as a special-occasion dinner in every sense. Dress is smart casual, with no flip-flops or tank tops.
