This slightly odd eatery feels like popping around to your slightly eccentric uncle’s house for dinner, so don’t expect much privacy while eating and perhaps even a table visit from the man himself. You won’t care either way, though, because Sam’s fish and chips (B129) are some of the best in Bangkok. With a choice of John Dory or tilapia, you get two generous fillets of breadcrumb-coated fresh fish. Unlike many places, the breadcrumb batter here is wonderfully light and crunchy and the fish moist and meaty without ever being greasy. Sam, who does all the cooking himself, clearly uses good quality oil.
