We visited this restaurant which was close to our hotel based on existing reviews and SO glad we did! By far the best Thai food we've had in Bangkok. We ordered curries spring rolls and a curry each - one masaman and one yellow curry and each came with rice. Very fresh authentic Thai meal, absolutely delicious! The lovely owner... More

We stumbled across this place after getting lost and walking for ages to find our hostel. We loved it and went back for 7 or so meals over the next few weeks. The food is great (best pad thai I had in Thailand), the staff are nice, there's some good English spoken and it's very peaceful compared to the bustle... More

We stopped in here for lunch on our way from our guesthouse on Sam sen to khao San road as we were getting really hungry - lucky we did! We ordered a green curry and Penang curry to share and were delighted. Delicious food and friendly and efficient service. Would really recommend this if your looking for quality affordable Thai...

Stopped by here for dinner tonight, as it was not far from our guesthouse. Had the noodle soup with pork and my friend had it with chicken. Just one word: delicious. I could have easily downed a second bowl. Lovely fresh coriander and green beans with flat rice noodles. A good amount of pork/chicken. The sweet, salty, sour aspect with... More

Me and the Mrs have eaten here several times- each time we come through Bkk. The place is spotless, the food is very tasty and the service is great. I would recommend the special breakfast-proper bacon and sausage etc, not your hot dog crap, and the jacket potato. The price is really cheap too, considering what you are getting and... More

For those staying at Pranakorn, looking for a good local restaurant. You cannot go past The Flow. The food is cooked fresh and the variety will accomodate all taste buds. Fruit is refrigerated and fruit drinks are a must have delight. Air conditioned, large seats and clean, dis i mention, very clean? We had our fill of fare for under... More

If you want cheap food and without frills but tasty then check this out. Had a good meal and service was good. If i lived in this neighbourhood then this would be my local for fast night out.

The flow was the place were my girlfriend and me went in search of good food after a tiring walk in the hot and polluted bangkok. It is really like an Oasi, air-conditioning, smiling and food loving staff and amazing food. You can try the typical thai dishes, stir fried rice or noodles, but also the deep forest salad is...

After 9 months in Thailand, mostly Bangkok I've eaten at a wide variety of places. Cafe The Flow is by far the best food I have eaten and surprisingly cheap. It's to the point where I go twice a day and I almost always get a meal for take away. After 2-4 meals a day I have eaten a lot... More
