The Best Chinese Restaurants in Bangkok
A ranked 2026 guide to Bangkok's best Chinese restaurants, from Chef Pam's Michelin-starred Potong to grand riverside Cantonese rooms and sky-high dim sum.
Why we wrote this guide
Bangkok's Chinese dining scene rests on two deep foundations. The first is the city's own Chinatown, Yaowarat, where generations of Teochew and Cantonese families put down roots and where a new wave of chefs is now reworking that heritage into some of the most exciting cooking in town. The second is the grand hotel dining room: along the Chao Phraya and across the luxury districts of Ploenchit and Wireless Road, a run of polished Cantonese kitchens has served refined dim sum, barbecue and Peking duck for decades.
This guide ranks the best Chinese restaurants in Bangkok in 2026 by real search demand, so the order tracks what diners are genuinely searching for rather than a single critic's shortlist. The range is wide: a Michelin-starred Thai-Chinese tasting menu inside a 120-year-old Chinatown shophouse, benchmark Cantonese fine dining, storied riverside hotel rooms, and sky-high rooftop kitchens where dim sum comes with a skyline. Whether you want a progressive multi-course experience or a classic banquet of Peking duck and hand-folded dumplings, there is a table here for it.
One practical note before you book. Outside Las Vegas the restaurant reservation sits with the venue, not with us. We point you to the right room and hand you off to the restaurant or its booking partner to secure the seat.

The ranked guide
1. Potong (Chinatown)
Potong occupies a 120-year-old Sino-Portuguese shophouse in the heart of Yaowarat that once housed chef Pichaya "Pam" Soontornyanakij's family's Chinese pharmacy and herbal-medicine shop. That ancestry runs straight through the food: her one-Michelin-star restaurant is a progressive Thai-Chinese tasting menu, and Pam, named World's Best Female Chef, layers storytelling and heritage into every course.
The single tasting menu runs to around twenty courses and is organized by her own system of five elements, salt, acid, spice, texture and the Maillard reaction, with much of the pantry, from soy sauce to miso and fermented tea, made in-house. Ranked number 13 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025, it is one of the hottest tables in Chinatown and a defining example of Bangkok's new Thai-Chinese cooking.
See Potong.
Best for: a landmark Chinatown tasting-menu night.
2. Breeze (Bang Rak)
Breeze sits high on the 51st and 52nd floors of lebua at State Tower in Bang Rak, reached by a dramatic LED-lit sky bridge that has become one of the building's signatures. The open-air setting delivers some of the most breathtaking river views in the city, a striking stage for a Chinese dinner above the Chao Phraya.
Under chef Sam Pang, the kitchen reads as a tour of the Cantonese repertoire, interwoven with sourcing from Hokkaido and the chef's own Malaysian-Cantonese inheritance, offered as a chef's tasting menu or a la carte with dim sum. The room was named World's Best Chinese Cuisine Restaurant at the World Culinary Awards 2025, underlining its standing among the city's rooftop dining rooms.

Best for: a dramatic open-air Chinese dinner with river views.
3. Nan Bei (Ploenchit)
Nan Bei, whose name means "north and south," celebrates the cuisines of northern and southern China under one roof, occupying the 19th floor of Rosewood Bangkok on Ploenchit Road. The dazzling Art Deco room is framed by two open kitchens, one dedicated to southern seafood and the other to northern Peking duck, with the main dining room set between them.
The cooking moves confidently between the two traditions, and the signatures make the case: a celebrated Peking duck, squirrel fish, tiger prawns with salted egg, and delicate xiao long bao. It is a polished, dual-tradition choice for Chinese fine dining in a strikingly designed space in central Bangkok.

Best for: Peking duck and dual-region Chinese in a stylish room.
4. Yu Ting Yuan (Charoenkrung)
Yu Ting Yuan at Four Seasons Bangkok, on the Charoenkrung riverfront, is the only one-Michelin-star Chinese restaurant in the city. The elegant room, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, centers on an open show kitchen and stays close to Cantonese tradition, with a modern lightness and the occasional Thai accent that root it firmly in Bangkok.
Executive chef Tommy Cheung brings serious lineage, having cooked at Hong Kong's two-star Yan Toh Heen and led the one-star Ya Ge in Taipei. His kitchen turns out handcrafted dim sum, barbecue and Peking duck alongside refined tasting menus built on dishes such as double-boiled fish maw soup. It is the city's benchmark for Cantonese fine dining.
See Yu Ting Yuan.
Best for: benchmark Cantonese fine dining or a special dim sum lunch.
5. China House (Bang Rak)
The China House at Mandarin Oriental in Bang Rak occupies a two-floor colonial residence beside the hotel entrance, reimagined as an opulent Art Deco room inspired by 1930s Shanghai, with dark-wood furnishings, low lighting and a dedicated tea bar. It is one of the most atmospheric Chinese dining rooms on the river.
Now led by Michelin-starred Chef Fei, the kitchen celebrates the flavors of Chaoshan (Teochew) and Cantonese cooking with contemporary refinement. Highlights range from double-boiled geoduck soup to pan-fried peppered Australian Wagyu with Sichuan peppercorn and Xisha-style Boston lobster, backed by rare Chinese teas and ceremonial pairings. It is a refined, storied choice for a riverside Chinese dinner.

Best for: an atmospheric, storied riverside Chinese dinner.
6. Liu (Wireless Road)
Liu at Conrad Bangkok, on Wireless Road, is an award-winning Cantonese room that fuses tradition with a contemporary touch across dim sum, barbecue and Chinese seafood. The all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch is a draw in its own right, while dinner leans into a la carte classics.
The kitchen is known for its signature Peking duck and refined seafood, and its dim sum reaches for luxury with plates such as black truffle fried rice with braised abalone. Polished service and a central location make it a dependable choice for a Cantonese lunch or a special-occasion dinner in the Ploenchit and Wireless Road district.

Best for: a Cantonese dim sum lunch or an abalone dinner.
7. Shang Palace (Bang Rak)
Shang Palace at the Shangri-La in Bang Rak is a long-standing Cantonese dining room by the river, serving classic dishes for some three decades. Its calling card is roasted Peking duck served Hong Kong style, with the crisp skin presented alongside pancakes, the legs with plum sauce, and the meat returned to the kitchen to be stir-fried with spring onion and ginger.
Beyond the duck, the room is known for an all-you-can-eat dim sum brunch of steamed dumplings and barbecue, with unlimited servings that can include suckling pig and freshly made dim sum. Authentic Cantonese flavors and attentive service, set in an elegant riverside room, make it a reliable choice for a classic Chinese banquet.

Best for: a classic riverside Cantonese banquet or dim sum brunch.
8. Yao Restaurant & Rooftop (Surawong)
Yao sits atop the Bangkok Marriott The Surawongse, with a smart Chinese dining room on the 32nd floor and a rooftop bar reached by stairs and lifts above it, delivering sweeping views over the city skyline. Chinese-influenced decor, lanterns and dark woods give the space a warm, slightly theatrical feel.
The kitchen serves refined, modern Cantonese and Shanghainese dishes, with signatures that include a Peking Duck Thai Style served across three courses with lychee sauce, caviar and salmon roe, alongside dim sum and a Yao fried rice with XO sauce. Pairing skyline views with a strong Chinese menu, it is a stylish choice for a dinner-and-drinks evening.
See Yao Restaurant & Rooftop.
Best for: a Chinese dinner paired with rooftop drinks.
