Bangkok Street-Food Soul in the East Village
A perennial favourite on the MICHELIN Guide (2021 through 2025), Soothr brings the bustling energy of Bangkok’s Yaowarat Road to East 13th Street — a Thai noodle bar built around generations of family recipes and the comfort of a home-cooked meal.
The name itself means “recipe” in Thai, and the kitchen lives up to it. Founded by close friends raised across Thailand’s distinct regions, Soothr specialises in family noodle dishes — none more beloved than its cult Khao Soi, a rich Northern coconut curry over bouncy egg noodles, served with chilli oil and pickles so you can build the perfect bite. Around it sits a far-ranging menu of street-food small bites, signature noodles and curries that earned a glowing notice from The New York Times’ Pete Wells.
The room matches the food: energetic, warm and unpretentious, channelling the narrow-alley conviviality of a Bangkok night market. A playful cocktail list — the “9 Gems,” each a jewel-toned Thai-inflected creation — adds a dose of glamour to the comfort.
Equal parts neighbourhood noodle joint and serious culinary destination, Soothr is proof that the most soulful cooking in town can come in a steaming bowl.
