Opened a few months, Streetfood Bangkok, is located at a street next to Canal Saint Matin in Paris 10th district. The area always gives the impression of trendy bars And eateries that is serving food more for tourists and young. Several times I read something nice about this place, but was put off by the location.
We decided to give it a go Saturday, 2 weeks ago. Arrived without reservation around 10 pm, there was already a queue of around 7-8 persons inside the restaurant. It was pretty confusing some were buying take away, some were waiting for seats and placing orders, some waited to get paid… The confusion lasted at least 20 minutes, once we got our seat, things were getting much better.
We both ordered the cold food + hot food + rice. Mr naf ordered an XXL version and pay 3 euros more (I got 3 skewers and he got 5, actually a very good deal!).
I got cold crunchy pork with sliced sausages, herbs, ginger, with crispy rice and red curry.
Mr. got thinly sliced pan fried beef, with crispy rice, onions, mint, basil, with chilli with fish sauce.
We both got the grilled chicken on sticks marinated with coconut milk, curcuma, and tamarin. With a satay sauce on the white rice. Note that the cold and hot food are all served in the same box…
XXL version
For drinks, we ordered a gingembre, with lemongrass, fresh ginger, lime and coconut sugar and cinnamon. We found the drink a bit bland.
We found the food quite decent and authentic, maybe a bit expensive compared to the real Thai street food, but hey, you are eating Thaï in Canal Saint Matin, Paris…and according to the notice on the wall, the recipes are conceived by an ex chef from Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Bangkok.
I’ve heard that they will opening soon a second address.
