Guy Kao Grilled Squid
414 416 Yaowarat Rd, Chakkrawat, แขวงจักรวรรดิ Bangkok 10100
Guy Kao Grilled Squid in Chakkrawat is the right choice in Samphanthawong when charcoal-grilled squid in the Chinatown street food format is the specific goal. The whole squid with the house dipping sauce is the correct order and the grilled prawns are worth adding for the table. Order the som tum and steamed rice to complete the format alongside the grilled seafood. Arrive in the early evening before the Chinatown crowd builds from the Yaowarat Road corridor.
Guy Kao Grilled Squid operates in the Chakkrawat area of Samphanthawong serving grilled squid and seafood in the street food format of the Chinatown district. The kitchen specialises in the charcoal-grilled squid preparation that defines the restaurant, with whole squid cooked to the slightly charred exterior the format requires. The squid is served in the cut-and-plate format with a dipping sauce selection covering sweet chilli and the house seafood sauce for the table. Freshness is the core principle with the squid sourced daily for the grilling operation through the evening service. Grilled prawns run alongside the squid as a secondary protein option for those who want the shellfish on the same plate. A seafood preparation section covers steamed mussels and clams in the garlic butter format for the table sharing approach. Simple Thai accompaniments of steamed rice and som tum green papaya salad round out the meal format for a fuller sitting. Cold beer is the standard drink pairing for the grilled seafood format through the Chinatown evening service. The Chakkrawat location places the restaurant within walking distance of Yaowarat Road and the broader Chinatown food corridor.

From Wat Mangkon MRT on the Blue Line a short walk through the Chinatown market area reaches the Chakkrawat sois.
