Tien Sin

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had.

Compared to other similar tiny je joints this place had the best selection, variety and freshness. I went multiple mornings in a week and they had different dishes everyday, kept hot and replenished. You can get two items and rice for just 45 baht. I just wish this place was on the main BTS line. I don't find myself in the Charoen krung area very often.

the woman who served me was super helpful and really enthusiastic about eating vegetarian. she wanted to explain everything to me. food very tasty and cheap

We had to order our food by pointing, but what a delight knowing everything was vegan! We adored the food and general mood here. A happy lunch! Wish we could have gone more than once. We wanted to try everything available! So inexpensive.

One of the best Jay option in BKK I had so far.
Food is amazing and has something unique to it. Was suprised to have potatoe and pineapple in the curry. Really really nice and the other food was really good too.
Prices are also really low... paid for one dish 30-40THB+free water... so 100%. Will go there again in the future.
Thank you ;) :)

Tien Sin does flavor and texture unusually well. We had three items from their made-to-order menu and all were well above average.

We'd suggest arriving well before noon, for the best selection of food and to avoid the busiest part of the lunch rush.

Prices are surprisingly low, especially for the high quality.

It's kind of hidden but when you find it it's easy to spot.

It's a buffet style but they serve you. I don't speak Thai at all. I just pointed to a plate and pointed to each dish I wanted. They were very kind and seemed used to people like me w/ weak communication skills.

It was insanely cheap for a full plate of food. I wanted to get a second plate but decided to move on.

It was so delicious, there was this spicy dish that was SO GOOD. My non-vegan boyfriend even enjoyed it.

I didn't get an upset stomach or anything like that I felt totally great after. Wasn't too greasy at all. Some travel tips tell you to stay away from "pre-cooked, prepared food stalls" and even tho the food was prepared already here it was really hot and there were so many people eating here there was probably batches of the dishes being made throughout the morning.

Highly recommend. Can be a little nerve racking but everyone is nice and gets you your food with ease.
Just be sure to learn how to say Thank you in Thai to at least have that under your belt.

We eat here twice and even my wife who normally doesn't like precooked food much found it very delicious. The people here are very friendly als well.

I found this place easily today courtesy of a happycow map marker that appears to be positioned perfectly. Directions:-

1) Come out exit 4 of the train station
2) take 1st left
3) Then take 2nd street on the right
4) The restaurant should appear on your left hand side

The girl working here today spoke Mandarin. Since my better half does also we were able to ask some questions. we were told that they don't use egg nor dairy products. That includes the mock meats being egg & dairy free. Thus it seems to be all vegan.

The food is tasty and inexpensive.

This is a great place to go for a cheap and tasty breakfast or lunch. There's usually a choice of 8-12 hot dishes that you can have with rice. Also a separate noodle bar. Also often have fake meat type dishes, spring rolls, etc. Rice and two dishes is 40 baht ($1.30) and rice and three dishes is 45 baht ($1.500. Go early though, as by around 1pm the food starts to run out. Best time to go is before noon. Gets very crowded from 12-1.

Note that this place is only open Monday to Saturday.

When in the area: look no further. It's packed with Thai during lunch for a reason. I liked the food, as it tastes natural and fresh.

The food in this place is always fresh. It's just a basic shophouse style cafe, but you can tell it's good my how crowded it is. Mornings and lunchtimes it's packed with locals. You have a choice of about 8-10 hot dishes, plus fake meats and rice. Often they have rice porridge, which is ell worth trying. They also do noodle dishes and have a Thai menu that has items that they cook to order. Highly recommended. And very cheap.
