Yusup
The Thai-language sign in front of this restaurant boldly says Raachaa (King of Biryani) and Yusup backs it up with flawless biryani (try the unusual but delicious khâo mòk plaa , fish biryani), not to mention mouth-puckeringly sour oxtail soup and decadent kaeng mátsàmàn . For dessert try roti wǎan , a paratha-like crispy pancake topped with sweetened condensed milk and sugar - a dish that will send most carb-paranoid Westerners running away screaming.

Yuy Lee
This aged but spotless eatery serves a variety of dishes, but most folks come for the northern Thai noodle duo of khâo sawy (wheat noodles in a curry broth) and khànǒm jiin náam ngíaw (fresh rice noodles in a tomato and pork broth). The former, although not bad for Bangkok, can't compete with the real deal from Chiang Mai, but the latter is an excellent take on a hard-to-find bowl.
