Chef Yis (Halal)
29 Soi Rat Phatthana 15, Ln 2, Saphan Sung, Bangkok 10240
Order across the menu, not down one column. Start with a wood-baked pizza and a Thai dish such as the beef with basil, and add the crab curry with cha-plu leaves if you are a group of three or more. The separate men's and women's prayer rooms make this one of the easier sit-down options on this side of Bangkok for Muslim diners.
Chef Yis sits on Soi Rat Phatthana 15, Lane 2, in Saphan Sung, off the standard Sukhumvit map and built inside a classic Thai house. The kitchen is fully halal and the menu reaches across Thai, Italian, Mexican and Halal cooking, which sounds wide on paper and works on the plate because the wood-fired pizza oven anchors the Italian side and the Thai cookery sits on its own foundation.
The signatures span both ends. From the oven: wood-baked pizza with fresh chewy dough and stretchy cheese, built on solid ingredients. From the Thai side: beef with basil, crab curry with cha-plu leaves and butterfly pea noodles, and the fish and chips on the lighter European pages. Most dishes price under a thousand baht, so a four-person table with two pizzas, two Thai dishes and starters lands in honest territory.
The room is calm. A classic Thai house frames the dining area, and the atmosphere reads warm and family-paced rather than scene-driven. On-site parking takes the edge off the location, and separate prayer rooms for men and women are set up on the property, which is the practical detail that makes this address book-worthy for Muslim diners across Bangkok.
Hours run Monday 10:30 to 21:30, Tuesday to Thursday 11:00 to 21:30, and Friday to Sunday 10:30 to 21:30. Drive in rather than relying on BTS; the soi is set back from the main road.
Come with family, order one dish from each section of the menu, and use the on-site parking instead of working out the bus route.
