Samrub Samrub Thai (; ) is a dining establishment located in Bangkok, renowned for its focus on authentic and regional Thai cuisine. In 2023, it was honored with a Michelin star.
History
The restaurant is owned by chef Prin Polsuk and his spouse Thanyaporn "Mint" Jarukittikun (). The concept began as a chef's gathering in 2015, evolving into a formal restaurant launched by Polsuk and Jarukittikun in 2017. By 2019, they had secured a fixed location near Charoen Krung Road. Subsequently, the venue moved to Silom and underwent expansion in 2024, relocating to more spacious premises in Sala Daeng.
In December 2023, Samrub Samrub Thai was awarded its inaugural Michelin star and achieved the 29th position on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list, signifying its rising prominence within the fine dining scene across the region.
Restaurant
Situated on the ground level of a refurbished four-story building where owners Polsuk and Jarukittikun also live, Samrub Samrub Thai features an interior crafted by Jarukittikun. The design incorporates black wood elements and brick flooring. Staff uniforms include patterns inspired by previous menus, while the restaurant's unique emblem—a fusion of a dog and pig—was derived from an image of a pineapple.
Cuisine
Meaning "for Thai," Samrub Thai emphasizes genuine Thai culinary traditions with an emphasis on regional specialties, forgotten recipes, and indigenous ingredients. The establishment seeks to introduce patrons to authentic Thai tastes and cultural food heritage. Founders Polsuk and Jarukittikun appeared in the chili pepper episode of Omnivore, a documentary series produced by René Redzepi and Matt Goulding.
