Ramen Tei is chef Gaggan Anand’s favorite ramen shop in Bangkok. Specifically, the original one situated near Silom Road, between two questionable massage parlors, which dates back to 1983 (today, they have four more branches). Order Tonkotsu Chili Ramen (spicy pork bone noodle soup, THB 240), Wantan Gyoza (potstickers, THB 130), Tori Cheese Age (deep-fried chicken and cheese, THB 200), Tori Karaage (deep-fried chicken, THB 180), and Butakakuni (braised pork belly, THB 220).

Ramen Tei is one of the most mediocre places in Bangkok.
You have to try Bankara, Kio and Uchidaya. Tei i’m afraid doesn’t even come close.
I loved it. Thanks for the other tips 🙂
I have eaten at Tei many years ago and found it lacking compared to other places in Bangkok that have seriously stepped up their game big time. If you go back (in the virus-less future), then may I suggest you go to Ramen Wakyu for some sensational Shoyu Ramen. It’s next door to Studio Lam. It’s a fiercely guarded secret by the Japanese ex-pat community in Bangkok! I have spent months and months living there and tried a lot of spots and that place and Bankara really did the best bowls.
P.s. You ate some of my ramen together with Ann when we did the first Tanpopo pop-up in the backyard at Revolver Oslo years ago! haha. I’ll leave a link to my food guide page below.
Hi Ben. Thanks for your recommendation! Will check out Ramen Wakyu next time. Do you still work in Oslo?
Hey Anders
Yeah, I stopped my booking job at Revolver Oslo in march, so now i’m currently looking for work.
Best of luck, hope you find something cool!
