Samrub Samrub Thai


Samrub Samrub Thai is a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand focused on traditional and regional Thai cuisine. It was awarded a Michelin star in 2023.

History

Owned by chef Prin Polsuk and his wife Thanyaporn "Mint" Jarukittikun, Samrub Samrub Thai grew out of a post-work gathering of chefs that began in 2015. Polsuk and Jarukittikun started the restaurant in 2017, and it found a permanent location off Charoen Krung Road in 2019. It later moved to Silom and in 2024 to larger quarters in Sala Daeng.
Samrub Samrub Thai received a Michelin star in December 2023, and it was listed as number 29 on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list.

Restaurant

Samrub Samrub Thai occupies the lower floor of a renovated 4-story building where Polsuk and Jarukittikun live. Jarukittikun designed the interior, which has black wood and brick floors; the kitchen staff's uniforms are decorated with motifs based on past menus, and the restaurant's logo, a hybrid of a dog and a pig, developed out of an image of a pineapple.

Cuisine

Samrub Thai means "for Thai"; the restaurant serves Thai food, showcasing regional cuisines, lost dishes, and local ingredients. Polsuk and Jarukittikun were featured in the chili pepper episode of Omnivore, a documentary series created by René Redzepi and Matt Goulding.
