4. Craving a good dim sum buffet with all the soup dumplings you could ever eat? – Tai He Xuan Chinese Restaurant

Another alternative to shabu and seafood, is the Dim Sum Buffet at Tai He Xuan Chinese Restaurant.

Serving up traditional Cantonese Dim Sum in bamboo trays, you’ll also get 1 soup, 1 congee, and 1 dessert along with the buffet.

The must-try here is definitely the Xiao Long Bao, also known as Chinese Soup Dumpling – Chinese dumpling with hot and super delicious soup within.

Whether you pop the whole dumpling in your mouth and feel the soup burst out, or nibble on the dumpling skin and slowly slurp the soup out – it’s great either way. (Do be careful and wait awhile to let the dumplings cool down as the soup can be really hot!)

PS: Keep your eyes peeled for their awesome promotions that often include a Peking Duck promo in the Dim Sum Buffet, or a free Peking Duck for large groups for the Dim Sum Buffet.

5. Free ice-cold beers to go with your seafood! – Anda Seafood Grill Buffet

No gimmicks and no hidden prices. Anda Seafood gives you free beer to go with the varieties of fresh seafood to cook on the charcoal grill!

With its minimalist concept and white tone décor, when you enjoy the food at Anda Seafood you will feel easy and relaxed. Though the restaurant can be packed with many people, you will never feel crowded and the food never runs out.

Have you ever tasted a horseshoe crab? You won’t regret trying it here!

It’s a simply perfect place to duck into and cool down from the hot Bangkok sun with a nice glass of cold beer and delicious seafood.

6. All about the soup and vintage Thai country style – Shabu Ban Rai

The décor of Shabu Banrai will take you back to vintage Thai country-style living in the 60s.

The food even comes in Thai-styled food trays and Thai tiffin boxes, adding a quaint touch to the cute country styling.

The highlight of this restaurant is that there are 5 different types of soup broth to complement the Shabu to choose from.

1. Spicy clear soup

Their slogan is “Heaven for BBQ lover”, so if you’re a die-hard BBQ fan, you know just where to go. It’s also a cool and hip hang out after-class joint for students from nearby colleges!

Known for their brass grill pans and good cuts of quality beef, like brisket, hump, chuck eye, sirloin tip and more – but the tender ribeye is the most highly demanded.

They can’t refill it fast enough, and there are also other meats apart from beef as well, such as pork, chicken, and choices of seafood for everyone to enjoy.

If you’re a meat lover, be sure not to miss this restaurant.

8. Shabu and chill by the river – Shabu Indy

Relax and feel the cool breeze by the river while enjoying good quality food. Sounds just like paradise? If so, Shabu Indy is the place for you.

It’s just on the outskirts of Bangkok with a big open air space by the Chao Phraya River.

The aromatic clear soup sets them apart from other Shabu places, and they also infuse Thai flavours in the traditional Japanese Shabu.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try mixing this Thai delicacy “Shrimp Brain Paste” in the soup – the result will blow your taste buds away.

Shabu Shabu Nang Nai has several branches all over Bangkok and the country.

They offer varieties of seafood and thin sliced meat that is so very tender, it almost melts in your mouth!

The star of Shabu Shabu Nang Nai is mozzarella cheese. The smell and taste of melted cheese goes really good with any meat or even seafood.

11. Love a good lobster and dozen oysters? They’re huge here – Chills Lay Seafood

People flock to this restaurant for flathead lobsters as big as a human hand. Its delicate taste is claimed to be superior to crabs and prawns.

And if you’re a big fan of oysters, Chills Lay Seafood has huge raw oysters available too! Be sure to put the toppings on top, just like the Thai people do. It adds interesting flavours and texture which elevates the taste of oysters to a whole other level.

It’s also right on trend with the open-air “street seafood” concept in Thailand – and though you may find that Chills Lay Seafood is not as big as other mega seafood places, they are still huge on good service and friendly staff.

They really do pay attention to your needs, and ensure that every hungry guest leaves the place feeling on top of the world.

12. If you like authentic shabu and fried chicken, you have to try this – Shabu Samurai

“Homemade” or “at home” is what you will feel at Shabu Samurai. Sitting in this cosy restaurant with a Japanese style bar will make you feel like you’re sitting in someone’s home kitchen.

One thing you won’t find in other Shabu restaurants is its fish stock soup. This homemade stock is made from dried fish just like the authentic Shabu restaurants in Japan. They also have Tom Yum soup if you’d prefer something more spicy.

And the best part? All meat is freshly sliced when you order – you can see it right in front of your eyes!

We recommend you try their signature appetiser, the Crispy Fried Chicken USA Style, which is made with spies that the owner personally brought back from USA.

It’s a perfect blend of Thai, Japanese,and American tastes all in one place.

13. This authentic Isan dish will spice up your day – Isan-NangNua Buffet

Isan makes up the northeastern region in Thailand, and the traditional Isan dishes are hot and spicy.

With 24 different types of Som-Tum (Thai Style Papaya Salad) made to order – and over 20 different types of Spicy Thai Salad made from seafood, corn, ground pork, chicken, mushroom, duck, bamboo shoots… Let’s just say the variety is guaranteed to leave you in awe.

What’s a must-try? The Thai delicacy, pig’s small intestines that comes deep-fried or poached!

No need to worry about waiting for a table or slow servers at this restaurant. They have 2 seating zones, outdoor and indoor, with plenty of tables.

Everything is self-service, and you can simply pick from prepared dishes at the buffet line, or order items off the menu directly from their open kitchen and watch them cook your food.

While waiting for your food, listen to the music at the restaurant – what you hear is the traditional music of Isan!
