Mitr Street Bangkok frames Wat Pho through blue windows: red chicken, ThaiKi rooftop and booking deposits
A six-storey Tha Tien shophouse combines Thai-Chinese sharing dishes, retro patterns and Wat Pho views. Check the official THB160 red chicken, noodles and tom yum, window and rooftop deposits, plus daily last orders.
Mitr Street by Ruay Mitr in Bangkok’s Tha Tien brings together Thai-Chinese street food, six floors and the ThaiKi rooftop bar. A large rounded window frames Wat Pho’s towers and roofs within the restaurant, becoming a visual focal point. Window seats, sharing dishes and drinks upstairs each suggest a different rhythm. If you plan to follow an Old Town walk with a meal, the type of table you want is a useful starting point.
Rounded blue windows and retro patterns: borrowing the city view
The facade uses yellow, orange and blue signs, red stools and shophouse proportions to welcome guests. Inside, patterned tabletops, striped walls, corrugated panels and framed photographs sit together. The large blue window in the photograph fixes temple towers into a composition, contrasting with the smaller red window alongside. Street, temple and furnishings enter the same line of sight. Even below the top floor, the view participates in the dining space.
Mitr Street’s shophouse entrance uses colourful signs and stools to create a street-side character.Inside, patterned tables and chairs meet stripes and dark-green door frames.
The food centres on wok cooking and charcoal. The food menu currently linked by the restaurant lists Thai street-style grilled red chicken at THB160. In the photograph it sits on a metal tray, held in bamboo, beside dipping sauce and citrus. Tom yum with sea prawns and prawn fat is THB520, served in a metal pot: two very different forms of sharing. One is divided into pieces, while the other requires serving soup. Thinking through how the table will share is more practical than choosing only its photographic centrepiece.

Sharing red chicken, tom yum and squid-ink glass noodles
Squid-ink baked glass noodles cost THB490. Both the official menu and the actual food photograph contrast black noodles, squid and green garnishes. It and tom yum may arrive in metal vessels, but one lets noodles take up sauce while the other centres on broth; similar cookware does not make them the same kind of dish. For a lighter finish, black jelly granita with fresh milk and coconut ice cream are listed at THB140 and THB160 respectively. The latter comes with Thai cendol, ruby water chestnuts and jackfruit.

Upstairs, ThaiKi Rooftop Bar opens the background to temple roofs and the surrounding city, with live DJs on Saturdays and Sundays. The photograph shows a canopy, fans, bar equipment and fruit: a working rooftop bar rather than an unserviced viewing platform. When booking, distinguish a proper meal from plans to stay upstairs for drinks. Having six floors also does not mean every table offers the same angle.

Rooftop, deposits and merchandise: choices before visiting
Read booking conditions alongside the menu. The Chope page linked by the official website lists deposits of THB1,000 per person for window-side and rooftop tables, or THB500 per person for general tables. Deposits are applied to food and beverages during the visit but are non-refundable; parties of more than eight must contact the restaurant directly. This is prepaid dining credit, rather than an additional sightseeing ticket. The visual identity also extends to plates, beer mugs, hats, bags and clothing, carrying blue-and-white patterns from tables into apparel; ask staff for merchandise prices.
Mitr Street is at 119 Soi Tha Suphan, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok. Official hours are daily, 11:00–22:00, with last orders at 21:15; telephone 065 956 9414. Walk from MRT Sanam Chai exit 1, or use Tha Tien pier. Browse the current official food and drinks menus, then select a table through the website’s booking link. Keeping dish prices, table deposits and final bill charges distinct helps fit views and sharing dishes into the same budget.
