Cheap Meals Under 100 Baht in Sukhumvit Bangkok 2026

Meals under 100 Baht in Sukhumvit? Yes they still exist.

Let’s be brutally honest: Lower Sukhumvit is turning into a playground for people who think 1,500-baht tomahawk steaks are “reasonable”.

Street carts get pushed out, malls get fancier, and suddenly your lunch budget looks like a night out in 2015.But I refuse to let Sukhumvit price me out of existence. After years of hunting, arguing with aunties, and eating my body weight in cheap rice, here are the meals I still swear by in 2025 that come in under 100 baht (drink included). No Michelin stars, no truffle oil, just stupidly good food that keeps the wolf from the door.

1. Pier 21 Food Court, Terminal 21 Asok – Khao Man Gai (32 Baht) The reigning champion.

Store 3 (the one with the permanent queue) serves the best Hainanese chicken rice in the entire mall for a laughable 32 baht. Silky chicken, fragrant rice cooked in chicken fat, cucumber, and that magic green sauce that makes grown adults whimper. Add a large Pepsi (28 baht) and a bottle of water (5 baht) and you’re out for 65 baht total.
Location: Hainanese Chicken Rice Pier 21 Food Court, Terminal 21 Asok (right under Asok BTS / Sukhumvit MRT).
Open 10 am–10 pm daily.

2. Krua Khun Puk – Soi 11/1 Corner Legend

If this place ever closes, half of Sukhumvit’s taxi drivers will go into mourning. Been here since the 90s and still slings one of the best bowls of braised pork leg noodle soup (50 baht). The broth is dark, sticky, porky perfection. Throw in a can of Coke for 20 baht and you’re fed for 70 baht.

Pro move: ask for extra chilli-vinegar.

Location: Corner of Sukhumvit Soi 11/1 – you can’t miss the orange sign and plastic chairs spilling onto the pavement.

3. Im Chan – Soi 37 (Phrom Phong BTS, EmDistrict)

Another absolute Bangkok institution: Im Chan, proudly planted on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 37 right opposite EmQuartier and a 2-minute walk from Phrom Phong BTS Exit 4. The faded sign on the wall says it all – “Thai Food Very Good and Cheap” – and after a few visits, I can confirm they’re not exaggerating. Read full review of Im Chan.

Everything is cooked fresh to order, portions are generous, and prices are stuck in a time warp:

Khao Man Gai (poached or fried chicken rice) – 60 THB
Pad Thai with chicken – 60 THB
Pad Thai with shrimp (prawn) – 90 THB
Khao Pad (fried rice) with chicken or pork – 60 THB
Tom Yum with chicken or pork – 70 THB

I’ve been here several times and it never disappoints. The Pad Thai with shrimp (90 THB) is perfectly balanced – tangy, nutty, with plump prawns. But my all-time favourite is the Khao Man Gai fried chicken version – crispy skin, juicy meat, fragrant rice, and that killer garlic-chilli sauce. For my money, it’s the best Khao Man Gai in all of Sukhumvit (full ranking here: Best Khao Man Gai in Sukhumvit Bangkok).

Delicious Pad Thai with shrimp for 90 THB at Im Chan restaurant Soi 37 Sukhumvit Bangkok 2025 — Im Chan’s legendary Pad Thai with plump shrimp – just 90 THB of pure Bangkok magic.

Customers dining at Im Chan restaurant on corner of Sukhumvit Soi 37 Bangkok looking out to the street 2025 — Im Chan’s legendary Pad Thai with plump shrimp – just 90 THB of pure Bangkok magic.

Grab a table outside for prime people-watching, add a cold Pepsi (15 THB), and you’re out the door for under 100 THB feeling like you just robbed Bangkok’s food gods. Im Chan isn’t fancy – plastic stools, fluorescent lights, zero frills – but that’s exactly why it’s legendary. If you only eat one cheap meal in Phrom Phong, make it here. You’ll thank me later.

4. Zong Peep Khao Soi (the alley opposite Krua Khun Puk)

Walk 10 metres across the tiny alley connecting Soi 11 and Soi 11/1 and you’ll smell coconut curry before you see the sign. A proper Northern Thai khao soi – rich coconut broth, egg noodles, chicken drumstick – for 60 baht. Bottle of water 15–20 baht. Total: 80 baht max.
The name of the place is Zong Keep Khao Soi.
Open roughly 10 am till it runs out (usually by 3 pm).

5. Thong Kee Chinese Restaurant – Roast Duck Wonton Bliss (80 Baht)

Right on Sukhumvit Road itself, next to Asok BTS exit 2, Thong Kee is a no frills Cantonese food heaven just like you will find in Hong Kong.

Ducks and red pork hanging in the window like edible jewellery. Order the roast duck wonton noodle (soup or dry, same price) for 80 baht. The skin is lacquered and crispy, the wontons are bouncy, the broth is pure comfort.

Location: 308–312 Sukhumvit Road (between Soi 12 and Soi 14). Open 9 am–8:30 pm.

6. Bangkok Burgers – Soi 11 (99 Baht Chicken Burger)

Yes, it’s tiny. Yes, it’s basically a slider. No, I don’t care. Their 99-baht fried chicken burger is crunchy, saucy, and comes with decent fries (extra cost for the fries). The Beef version is 149 baht so not under 100 Baht but this is a tasty burger. Very well seasoned beef with is dripping in taste. Read more about Bangkok Burgers.

8. Mahmoud Shawarma – Soi Arab (Soi 3/1)

Sukhumvit Soi 3 earned the nickname “Soi Arab” for a reason. Mahmoud’s chicken shawarma wrap is 70 baht of garlic-sauced joy. 80 Baht for a beef shawarma. Freshly shaved meat, pickles, garlic sauce that will end friendships if you breathe on anyone afterwards. Open till the early hours – 4am.

9. Burmese Hidden Gem – Thanaka Myanmar Restaurant, Sukhumvit Soi 1

Walk down the quiet end of Soi 1, don’t go too far and fall in the canal at the end of the street, and you’ll stumble on a little piece of Myanmar that most farangs never notice.

Traditional Fish Rice → 75 baht
Mohinga (Burma’s national breakfast soup, catfish chowder with rice vermicelli) → 90 baht
Burmese Chicken Curry → 110 baht (yes, I cheated the budget and I’d do it again in a heartbeat)

Burmese chicken curry with rice (130 baht) at Thanaka Myanmar Restaurant Sukhumvit Soi 1 Bangkok — Technically 130 baht with rice, so I cheated the 100-baht rule… but one spoonful of this evil-looking, flavour-explosion curry and you’ll happily commit the same crime.

Dark and spicy Burmese chicken curry with rice at Thanaka Myanmar Restaurant Sukhumvit Soi 1 Bangkok — Technically 130 baht with rice, so I cheated the 100-baht rule… but one spoonful of this evil-looking, flavour-explosion curry and you’ll happily commit the same crime.

That chicken curry is evil-genius level. The sauce looks like it will melt your face off – dark, oily, menacing – but it’s perfectly balanced. Garlic, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, chilli that creeps up slowly, and about fifteen secret herbs I will never figure out. Rice is 20 baht extra (the space-time rip you mentioned) so the damage with rice is 130 baht total. Worth every satang.Big bonus: large Singha draft is only 90 baht. In a soi where craft beers are 300+, this feels like highway robbery in the best way.Location: Sukhumvit Soi 1, about 200 m down on the left after the Shell station. Open roughly 9 am–10 pm.

Final Words

Sukhumvit might be getting shiny and expensive, but as long as these places exist, I’m not going anywhere. Eat at all eight in one day and you’ll still spend less than one cocktail at Above Eleven.
