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, not 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 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 is organized by her own system of five senses and five elements of taste, with the story of the family pharmacy running through it. 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 52nd floor 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 an uninterrupted run of the Chao Phraya, a striking stage for a Chinese dinner above the Chao Phraya.
Under chef Sam Pang, the kitchen feels like 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 prawn dumplings, and delicate xiao long bao. It is a polished, dual-tradition choice for Chinese fine dining in a strikingly designed space in central Bangkok.
See Nan Bei.
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 a Cantonese fine-dining room that carries a Michelin Guide Plate distinction. 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. Mott 32 (Silom)
Mott 32 carried its Hong Kong pedigree to Bangkok inside The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, translating the group's blend of Cantonese, Beijing and Shanghai cooking for the Silom crowd. The second-floor room wraps a signature octagonal island bar in moody lighting, layered stone and timber, with a greenery-framed terrace that is at its best at dusk as Mahanakhon lights the skyline. The kitchen leads with a 42-day apple-wood roasted Peking duck carved tableside in limited numbers each day, alongside smoked black cod, Shanghainese soup dumplings and handmade dim sum, so it is worth reserving the duck at least 24 hours out.

Best for: a design-led Peking duck dinner with a terrace view.
6. China House (Bang Rak)
The China House at Mandarin Oriental in Bang Rak occupies a two-floor colonial residence beside the hotel entrance. It reopened in 2025 after a redesign that replaced its former dark, dramatic interior with a brighter, more modern space in pastel tones, alongside a dedicated tea bar. It is one of the most atmospheric Chinese dining rooms on the river.
Now led by 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.
7. 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, with a menu that changes through the year to take in bird's nest, live seafood and congee. 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.
See Liu.
Best for: a Cantonese dim sum lunch or an abalone dinner.
8. 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 lunch of 33 items, from steamed dumplings to barbecue favorites, with unlimited servings and a pot of Chinese tea included. 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.
9. Man Ho (Sukhumvit)
Man Ho is the JW Marriott Bangkok's long-running Chinese restaurant, a Sukhumvit institution that has drawn dim sum devotees for years with classical, master-chef cooking in the Cantonese tradition with Szechuan accents. The traditionally styled room, done in deep blue and dark wood with Chinese artworks, seats big family parties at large round tables and offers seven private rooms for business lunches and celebrations. The headline is dim sum, served a la carte or as a much-loved all-you-can-eat lunch of more than fifty handmade items, alongside roast duck, barbecue meats and a range of Chinese teas.
See Man Ho.
Best for: an all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch or a private-room banquet.
10. 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, including dim sum, built for sharing around the table. 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.
