Nestled in the heart of Bangkok’s Chinatown, Restaurant POTONG is more than a dining destination—it is a multisensory journey through history and innovation. Led by Chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij, recently crowned Asia’s Best Female Chef 2024, the restaurant transforms a century-old building into a culinary sanctuary where tradition and avant-garde techniques merge seamlessly.
Its 20-course tasting menu, built upon the philosophy of five senses and five elements, challenges conventional perceptions of flavor. Each meticulously curated dish plays with acidity, texture, umami, and nostalgia, elevating Thai-Chinese cuisine to an unprecedented level. Locally sourced ingredients and pioneering fermentation techniques define the restaurant’s identity.
POTONG’s excellence has been globally recognized: awarded one Michelin star, listed among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, and recently acclaimed as Bangkok’s best restaurant by Top 25 Restaurants 2024. Set in a mystical Sino-Portuguese building with a meticulously curated wine selection, it stands as an unmissable destination for haute cuisine connoisseurs.
Chef Pam and her team continue to redefine culinary luxury, where every experience at POTONG is unparalleled—a sensory journey that transcends dining itself.
