Renowned Thai chef Ton Tassanakajohn has once again captivated diners, this time with an all-day dining experience set in a stunning space inspired by the traditional Thai sticky rice container, the kratib.
In the spirit of a French salon, where people gather to socialize, BK Salon is designed as a communal space for everyone. Whether you're stopping by for morning coffee, a leisurely brunch, or evening drinks and dinner, the restaurant offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages shared moments with friends and family. The front area serves as a cafe with excellent coffee and drinks, while the interior houses a cozy restaurant space. There's also an outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying fresh air when the weather is nice.
Chef Ton's vision for BK Salon extends beyond dining. He envisions it as a creative community space, hosting workshops, events, and markets. It’s a place where you can relax, connect, and spend the entire day, from early morning until late at night, with everything from coffee to cocktails available.
The design of BK Salon reflects sustainability, inspired by the kratib—a small yet sturdy container that symbolizes the chef’s commitment to using natural materials and promoting sustainability. This thoughtful blend of design, atmosphere, and culinary excellence makes BK Salon a welcoming space for everyone, including families with children, and suitable for any occasion.
The food
BK SALON presents a unique dining experience, blending familiar comfort foods with creative twists, all under the guidance of Chef Jane, a talented member of Chef Ton’s team. The menu is rooted in the community, utilizing local ingredients and reinterpreting classic dishes in the BK Salon style. The concept revolves around offering comforting and recognizable dishes but elevating them into extraordinary culinary experiences. Whether you're visiting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can expect to find a variety of options that cater to different tastes and preferences.
The coffee at BK SALON is particularly noteworthy, as it is the first establishment in Thailand to feature beans from Araku Coffee in India. These beans are grown in the rainforest using sustainable methods that preserve the soil, adding a unique, rich flavor to the coffee. The house blend combines these Indian beans with Thai beans from the North, resulting in a distinctive and satisfying coffee experience. The coffee menu includes all the basics, but with a touch of innovation, such as the "bua loy" coffee, which combines black coffee with coconut cream and purple yam powder, offering a delightful balance of flavors.

The Thai menu at BK SALON is where the culinary creativity truly shines. The Koi Manao Sai Naeng is a must-try, offering a refined take on the traditional Koi Nuea with a fine dining presentation. The fresh shrimp salad with chakram and the spicy and sour soup with starfruit and snakehead fish are also exceptional, balancing bold flavors with delicate textures. The highlight of the Thai menu, however, is the Khao Ho Bai Bua, a lotus leaf rice dish available in two variations: with crab or with oysters and thick egg. Both dishes are served in large portions, perfect for sharing, and are enhanced by the fragrant and flavorful rice. The Khao Ho Bai Bua Kot Pu, with its sweet crab meat and savory crab eggs, is especially memorable when paired with the shop’s spicy seafood sauce.
Coconut Ice Cream Dessert
For dessert, BK SALON offers a selection that perfectly complements the main dishes. The Charcoal Berry Butter Bread is a favorite, featuring soft and chewy bread paired with cold ice cream. The new soft mango panna cotta is another delightful option, boasting a rich mango flavor, while the chestnut charcoal toast offers a satisfying blend of chewy bread, chestnut cream, and vanilla ice cream.
In conclusion, BK SALON offers a diverse and inventive menu that reimagines familiar dishes with a creative touch. From the rich, sustainably sourced coffee to the innovative Western and Thai dishes, each meal is crafted with care and attention to detail, making BK SALON a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and memorable dining experience.
