Siam Paragon Restaurant Recommendations

Siam Paragon's food hall on the ground floor (the Gourmet Eats area) actually handles this well since each stall lists allergens and most have vegan and gluten-free markers. For a sit-down meal, try Broccoli Revolution on the same floor, they do a solid plant-based bowl and can easily make it gluten-free. Otherwise, the food court upstairs in the supermarket section has a made-to-order salad bar where you can pick everything yourself, which is the safest bet for the gluten-free and vegan eaters to avoid cross-contamination.

honestly for a group like yours i'd skip the sit-down places and just hit the basement level food court at Siam Paragon. theres a stall called Veganeri that does a killer khao soi with gluten-free noodles, just ask them to swap the soy protein for tofu. the omnivore can grab a plate of pad thai from Thip Samai's kiosk a few steps away, its not as good as the original on Charoen Krung but still solid for a mall. everyone can eat together at the communal tables near the escalators, no one has to compromise

The vegan one will be fine at Broccoli Revolution, but for the gluten-free person you might want to head up to the fifth floor and try Sushi Den. They do naruto rolls wrapped in cucumber instead of rice, and the chef can confirm which items are safe. For the omnivore, honestly the best move is to grab a seat at Kub Kao Kub Pla on the same floor, their tom yum soup is one of the better versions in a mall setting and everyone can order their own thing.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
