Chantorn Pochana (Maharaj)

Foods are excellent, using a lot of traditional Thai ingredients.

Updated review 03/05/22 Came back here and had the phat pak krud, crab omelette abd the pork phat wan. It was good still with fresh herbs too. The staff are better now. Faster, don't forget anything and can pay with banking app scan. Still 5 stars.

Original review from 2020: This is a famous local restaurant known for its bay leaf phat cha. It's strange but tasty. Also had the fried mackerel and spicy Thsi herb dip with shrimp. All of it super fresh. They also sell real lemonade which you should try. Grab some black pepper corns, which are a local favourite to take home too. It's a good deal here, three dishes and two drinks for 500 baht was excellent value. Toilets are clean. Waiters are very slow with everything, and forget sometimes, so plan to take an hour.

Chantorn Pochana is the amazing place you’ve heard about when people talked about Thailand. The food is specific to Chantaburi area and delicious with a lot of variety and unique taste. Some dishes can only be found here and they are truly amazing. Check photos as I cannot translate not I can explain how amazing it was. Stop by on your way to the east coast towards the Thai larger islands, or stay in Chantaburi to experience all this and more. You get the chance to buy some transitional durian sweets. Yummm

Highly recommended, not to be missed.

Very good restaurant in Chantaburi town. It serves local food which not easy to find from other places such as Chan noodle, pork cha muang. My kids love fried fish salad...very fresh and delicious.

Must visit but please make advance reservations. If you are in this town, you have to visit this restaurant for good local thai food. This was a discovery for us during our trip to Trat. One of the best dry fish preparation with cardamom stem and pork curry.

Delicious locale food. Try the sweet "stew" with pork, it's so tasty. Nam Pik Poo (with crab) is small portion but I'm sure you order a second plate.
The building looks inviting when driving bye and they use light and fresh looking colours. I'm sure or outside seathings available. Visit the desserts shop on your left hand when entering, home made khnm (ขนม).
Upscale restaurant with very friendly staff and profesional service. Selling Coca Cola ZERO.
Menu card with English translation of the dishes. Menu with pictures on command.

Great place to enjoy local Chanthaburi dishes. Lot of options to choose from and prices are reasonable.

Thai Local Food (found in Chanthaburi only) good taste and good place with parking lot.
The recipes such as pork simmer with Chamuag leaves (sweet and sour taste), mangoes-teen and prawn spicy salad. You can drink local drink “Mapeed juice” the small orange that very sour to refresh yourselfl

A Must if you are in the town.Very surprising restaurant in Chantaburi, serving innovative dishes, in a very well decorated space which dominated by white color. the Masaman was great and all the rest of the dishes. will definitely come back.

Great place to eat! Such lovely staff and very tasty and fresh traditional/local food. Separate vegetarian menu available on request which had lots of choice. Tried the pork curry, veggie Tom yum and veggie salad.

Really tasty and authentic food with prompt service. The restaurant seemed clean and the prices were very reasonable. We especially liked the massamum that was made with durian.

Traditional Thai style food. A little bit crowded during lunch time. Worth to wait.

The food is top-notch but the services need to be revamped

Place is nice and clean. Recommended dishes in menu are reliable, some taste quite sweet ie. Longjadoo soup, fried Chan noodle. Food Souvenirs are attractive.
