Our story

The story of North

From its first day, North has cooked Northern Thai food as gastronomy, fit for any table in the world.

How it began.

North เริ่มต้นอย่างไร

North Restaurant opened in 2022 on Sukhumvit Soi 33, founded by Northerners, with Northern chefs in the kitchen. The intention was simple: Lanna cooking, served as fine dining, in Bangkok, for guests from anywhere in the world. The standard was set at the first service, and it has only risen since.

The cooking is the serious part. Everything else, we kept easy.

Lanna was shaped by exchange.

ล้านนาหล่อหลอมจากการแลกเปลี่ยนทางวัฒนธรรม

Lanna sat on the old trade routes and never closed itself to what travelled them. Tai Yai, Chin Haw, Siam and the caravan traders brought ingredients, techniques and tastes. Lanna took them in, kept what suited it, and made them its own.

Our Khao Soi is an icon of North, inspired by the distinctive flavors of Lampang, our founder's hometown. Authentically northern and beautifully rich, every bowl begins with curry paste pounded fresh each day and coconut broth simmered slowly to silk, then layered with fresh egg noodles, crisp fried noodles, pickled mustard greens, shallots and lime. Each edition celebrates one exceptional ingredient, framed by the deep, unmistakable character of Lampang-style Khao Soi.

The hands in the kitchen.

มือในครัว

Chef Nu is a Northerner who cooks Lanna food the way it was handed down, then asks what more it could be. For the chef, the recipes are the root. His questions are the rise.

Our philosophy.

Root holds. Rise moves.

Green lie the northern lands, a million fields of rice,fresh with the scent of grain and fish and all good things.Wisdom of soil and water, of each season’s turning:the tall tree stands because its root holds tight.

Rise

A hundred stories lift it ever higher,for it never leaves the old behind.The same thing, parted only by time,Lanna’s flavour growing in every bite.

Root

The root lies hidden under the earth, passed over,yet it lends us an understanding that is of today.Ingredients chosen from far-off lands,a steady hand, a heart that will not change.

Bistronomy = Bistro + Gastronomie.

บิสโทรโนมี = บิสโทร + กาสโตรโนมี

At North the equation is the philosophy. Gastronomie is the root: the hand, the local ingredients, master technique and the deep Lanna stories, all of it in the plate.

Bistro is the rise: we take out whatever feels stiff in the flavour, the room and the time. Order freely, walk in or book, and eat at your own pace, in a green house under a high timber roof that opens onto its garden.

Michelin-level Lanna cooking, on your own terms.

First meal in Thailand and did not disappoint. Came in for lunch menu rather than tasting menu & can say their signature dish is best soup broth I have ever tasted.
