Bang-on flavors—that’s what BANG is all about. If you’re in the neighborhood, Chef Justin’s got a list of must-eats that’ll satisfy every craving, with dishes that aren’t just memorable—they’re unforgettable.

Cracker Southern Blue Fin Tuna

The Cracker Tuna is a playful evolution of tempura tuna with a Thai twist. Chef Justin coats it with crushed crackers, giving you a texture that’s like savory rice crispies. It’s a snack that packs a punch in every bite.

Blue Swimmer Crab “Pa Tong Ko” Donuts

Donuts get a makeover with a savory twist—fresh crab salad tucked inside. It’s a playful take on a street classic, reimagined for the BANG menu.

Roast Pressed Duck Red Curry

We’ve taken duck curry and made it our own, confiting the duck leg for that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. It’s a classic dish, with a French touch that elevates every bite.

Beef Noodles ‘Bowl of Beef’

The best parts of the cow, straight from the night markets. Cheek, tendon, and tongue come together in a dish that’s all about flavor, no compromises.

Kurobuta Berkshire Double-Cooked Pig’s Head

Inspired by a Bangkok street hawker stand, this Pig’s Head dish is slow-cooked and roasted, served with BBQ sauce, relishes, pickles, and roti. It’s a taste of Bangkok on your plate.
