Go Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice has humble beginnings.

After pushing a street-food cart selling Hainanese-style chicken rice around, Sombat “Go-Ang” Pluekpaiboon decided to start his own restaurant. He opened his first outlet in Pratunam, and it has firmly stood here for over 50 years.

Born to a Hainanese family, Go-Ang learned to cook from his father. Today, his stall has been recognised by the Michelin Bib Gourmand two years in a row, in 2018 and 2019, and has even expanded internationally.
Before ending your meal, finish it up with the Bitter Melon and Pork Ribs Soup (฿50). Though it’s a little bitter, it helps clear the throat and can make you feel better after a filling meal. Go-Ang also serves Duck and Mushroom Soup (฿60) and Chicken Soup with Extra Bones (฿20).

The interior is a simple, classic restaurant. The stainless-steel tables and wooden stools give it an old-school look too. The staff are all attentive and were quick to attend to us, and are able to give you information about the dishes if you need.

Thanks to its well-known reputation, you will probably have to get ready for a queue – so come by early! In the mornings, customers start rolling in at 11am onwards, and the crowd gets bigger during the afternoon lunch break. You may have to wait, but trust me – it’s worth the time.

Plus, the stall is open till 2am, so you can even pop by after a night out for a good supper meal. Or if you’re an early bird, the store opens at 6am just in time for breakfast.
