Lung Yai is one of the better local Isaan eateries in Bangkok, which is saying a lot, with hundreds of spots to choose from, and the only thing that can compete with the food are the amazingly low prices. The homey place, hidden off the street on Din Daeng, does not get a lot of foreigners, but those in the know come back here again and again for its incredibly tasty food. Everything on the menu is good, but highlights include the spicy tom sep pork soup, the fragrant grilled chicken, and any of the various larb meat salads. There is beer, whiskey, and plenty of good cheer to wash down the spice with, and the locals will be impressed that you have found this gem. Its only drawback is its slightly out of the way location via public transport.
