Introduction
I recently visited the popular Myanmar restaurant “Laxmi” located in Phra Khanong Market, about a 7-minute walk from BTS Phra Khanong Station. I’d like to share my review.
About the Myanmar restaurant “Laxmi” in Phra Khanong Market
Laxmi, a Myanmar restaurant in Phra Khanong Market, is located about a 7-minute walk from BTS Phra Khanong Station. If you walk southeast along Sukhumvit Road from the station for about 6 minutes, you’ll see Phra Khanong Market on your left. Laxmi is about a minute’s walk inside the market. From what I could see, Laxmi is a single-story building. Look for the light blue painted walls and the sign with “Laxmi” written in green on a red background.
When introducing eateries or street food stalls, I often mention two potential hurdles: hygiene and language. However, Laxmi is kept very clean both inside and out, and I didn’t notice any excessive flies. They also have air conditioning. The menu has English translations, and the staff were happy to explain various dishes in English. I believe both of these potential hurdles are quite low here.
Menu at Myanmar restaurant “Laxmi” (Photos, Prices, Reviews)
Since it was my first time at a Myanmar restaurant, I ordered a variety of dishes with the help of the staff. Laxmi seems to offer a wide range of Myanmar and Chinese dishes. They had biryani, mohinga, noodle dishes, tofu dishes, salads, fried items, samosas, fried rice, Myanmar curries, soups, and meat and fish dishes. For drinks, they had beer and wine.
Everything I ordered was delicious, but the “tea leaf salad” was particularly outstanding. It was perfect as a crunchy snack with beer!
By the way, a large bottle of Chang or LEO beer is 79 THB. That’s incredibly cheap compared to Phrom Phong or Thonglor.
Recommendation rating for Myanmar restaurant “Laxmi”
To be helpful, I’ll give it a score based on Tabelog’s (Japan’s top restaurant-review site) scale. Personally, I’d rate Myanmar restaurant Laxmi around a 3.3 on the Tabelog scale. I’ll note that down.
Conclusion
Myanmar restaurant “Laxmi” in Phra Khanong Market is recommended for those who want to try Myanmar cuisine or enjoy a casual drink. It’s easy to navigate in terms of hygiene and language, and you can also experience the market atmosphere!
