Chef Man

Bangkok


If you're a dumpling fan, drop into this elegant restaurant during lunchtime, when its open kitchen serves some of the nicest dim sum and siu mai (open-face Chinese dumplings) you can bite into. Other Sichuan-style dishes, including delicious duck, fish and vegetarian preparations, are also on offer. Dinner is largely the preserve of local patrons, who converge with their families.
