Isaan Hot Pot & Grill

Chim Chum Suthiporn — Right Across the Street

One of the soi's most beloved spots, sitting directly opposite B.U. Place. The star of the menu is jim jum — a bubbling, herb-fragrant Isaan-style hot pot you cook at your table — but there's plenty more: char-grilled pork neck, som tum, and a full range of Isaan classics. Lively atmosphere, generous portions, and open late every night. Open daily 17:00–02:00.

A long-standing neighbourhood favourite that locals on the soi come back to again and again. The signature tom yum broth is bold and aromatic, and you can customise your bowl with a wide choice of toppings and noodle types. A proper local lunch spot — arrive early as it sells out. Closed Tuesdays.

Northern Thai

Khao Soi & Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao — Northern Flavours, Local Prices

Convenience Store

7-Eleven In-Building — The Biggest One on the Soi

The ground floor of B.U. Place has one of the largest 7-Elevens on the entire soi — which means a noticeably bigger food selection than your average convenience store. Hot toasties, steamed bao, fresh bread, chilled drinks, fresh-cut fruit, salads, and onigiri are all stocked daily. Ideal for a quick breakfast, a late-night snack, or stocking up before a long day out.
