Book NowAbout Long Chim
Subterranean Bangkok street food inside the State Buildings cellar, hitting hard with real chilli heat and loud urban energy. Forget watered-down curry—this kitchen refuses to dial back the birds-eye chillies or aromatic herbs. Regulars point friends straight toward the sharing banquets: grilled tiger prawns tossed in sharp chilli and cucumber, crisp tamarind-glazed chicken wings, and wok-seared pork running on high heat. Behind the counter, the bar mixes clever cocktails to cut through the spice before Thai tea ice cream and warm banana roti cool everything down.
- Unapologetic Spice: High-heat Bangkok street dishes packing serious chilli punch, from glazed wings to wok-charred meats.
- Sharing Banquets: Generous sharing banquets built around signature plates, keeping big tables fed without ordering friction.
- Basement Energy: Subterranean brick cellar under the State Buildings humming with neon, loud beats, and fast cocktail service.

Nene Bolin Attentive Dietary Accommodations
Staff effortlessly adapt courses and coordinate with the kitchen to accommodate allergies and intolerances without compromising group enjoyment.
The waitresses were so attentive and knowledgeable and very accommodating of my nut allergy, even bringing me a separate salad and substituting the main curry on the set menu so that I could enjoy with everyone else at my table.
Bethany Sunderland Authentic Kids Dining Option
Children are introduced to authentic Thai cuisine through gentle classics like stir-fried rice and spring rolls instead of standard Western fast food.
The kids menu was an absolute gem! No chicken nuggets or fish & chips - instead they had stir fried rice & vegetable spring rolls etc. The perfect mix of "not too spicy, acceptable for kids" while still giving them a "Thai food" experience.
Simon Beard Vibrant Express Dining
Fast seating, rapid course pacing, and bold punchy dishes make the venue an invigorating midday escape from mundane workday meals.
Went for a late lunch and it delivered exactly what you hope for: lively room, quick seating, and bold Thai flavours that actually carry a proper chilli kick. Shared a few plates and everything had that fresh, punchy balance — heaps of aroma and just the right amount of heat.

Before you head over
Practical tips on ordering, heat levels, and dietary accommodations for your visit
Opt for Banquet Menus to Sample Widely
Opt for banquet options like the Maa Long Chim menu if you want a broad tasting of dishes without ordering friction. Portions are generous and dishes can be boxed up if you get full.
Prepare for Serious Heat
Dishes here pack an authentic, punchy chilli kick rather than toned-down heat. If you love spicy food, dive in, but communicate heat preferences early if anyone in your group is sensitive.
Flag Dietary Needs and Allergies Early
The team accommodates allergies smoothly—including nut allergies and gluten/dairy requirements—often arranging kitchen-approved dish substitutions on set menus. Notify staff upon seating.
