Upon hearing the name "Aumdang Typhoon," one might immediately associate it with traditional Thai cuisine. However, this restaurant defies expectations by offering a unique and modern dining experience that transcends cultural boundaries. While the name evokes images of classic royal Thai dishes, the menu boasts a diverse array of culinary influences, showcasing flavors from around the world.
The Aumdang Typhoon restaurant is located on Sukhumvit 32. If you come by BTS, you will have to walk a little, but if you come by car, it is very convenient. There is plenty of parking space. The restaurant is easy to find. Drive into Soi 32 and go all the way to the end. It is on the right-hand side. There will be a sign in front. Go inside and you will find a large parking lot.
Before you start ordering, it is highly recommended that you read the first 2-3 pages of the menu to fully immerse yourself in the dining experience. The menu tells the story of the restaurant's name and the inspiration behind its dishes. One notable dish is the Spicy Crab, which draws inspiration from the hardships faced by fishermen during typhoons. The name "Typhoon" in the restaurant's name symbolizes the resilience of these fishermen who would take shelter on their boats and cook whatever they could find, including crab. With this understanding, you can now fully appreciate the menu and embark on your culinary journey.
As mentioned earlier, the restaurant offers a wide variety of cuisines, not just Thai food. Let's take a look at some of their signature dishes.
Let's start with the Spicy Crab, a dish highly recommended by the restaurant. We ordered 10 pieces, priced at 290 baht per piece, depending on the size. At first glance, the dish didn't seem that impressive, but it blew us away when we started eating. The crab meat was fresh and free of any fishy smell. The highlight, however, was the fried garlic. We devoured it all, and even used the leftover garlic to stir-fry rice. It was truly exceptional.
The next menu item that I didn't expect to find in this restaurant was Korean-style pickled crab roe. It was made with a Thai taste, meaning it wasn't too oily and had just the right amount of spiciness (you can see the chili peppers). It was surprisingly well-balanced, something I didn't expect to find in a restaurant like this. P.S. The crab was pickled well and the flavor permeated the meat.
The Delectable Giant River Prawns: A Must-Try Culinary Experience
Moving on from the delectable crab dishes, let's delve into the realm of grilled giant river prawns. This dish stands out as the crown jewel in terms of value for money, offering prices comparable to those found in Ayutthaya, a city renowned for its affordable seafood. It's almost unbelievable to find such competitive pricing in the heart of Bangkok.
The colossal prawns are expertly split in half, revealing their succulent, golden-hued flesh. Notably, the prawns are cooked to perfection, exhibiting no trace of charring. The accompanying dipping sauce boasts a fiery kick, perfectly complementing the delicate sweetness of the prawns. This dish is a must-try for any seafood enthusiast. While other menu items may tempt you, don't miss out on this culinary masterpiece.
The dish lacked sufficient spice. We then moved on to stir-fried beef with star anise leaves, which was prepared with a spicy kick. The star anise leaves, typically enjoyed fresh, added a unique twist to the stir-fry. This dish is relatively uncommon to find.
To balance the dryness, we opted for a refreshing broth-based dish: mackerel tom yum with makrut lime leaves. This dish is both unique and simple to prepare. Interestingly, even after the broth cools down, the flavors remain vibrant, with no bitterness or oily residue.
Next, we had the stir-fried lotus root with fresh prawns, which was absolutely smothered in shrimp roe. The flavor was predominantly sweet, and the highlight was definitely the sauce. The reddish liquid you see is all shrimp roe, and it packs a flavorful punch without any fishy aftertaste.
Accompanied by a variety of fresh vegetables, this fiery chili dip, known as "น้ำพริกโจร," is a must-try. Its intense spiciness is perfectly balanced by the crispness of the vegetables, creating a delightful contrast in flavors.
Another highlight is the crispy pork fat fried rice. This restaurant cooks rice much better than I expected. It's obvious that they use high-quality rice, which is beautifully arranged and fragrant. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to find delicious plain rice like Saneh Chan again, but Amporn Typhoon Restaurant truly did not disappoint.
The meal concluded with a must-try dessert, "Aum Dang Typhoon," named after the restaurant itself. The dish features tofu, with a flavor that I will keep secret to encourage personal exploration. It was truly delicious and exceptional (initially mistaken for taro snow).
The homemade ice cream here is highly recommended. It boasts a rich texture and delightful flavors. For other dessert options, feel free to consult the staff for their recommendations.

Overall, Amdeng Typhoon Restaurant is a great place to bring friends and family for a delicious and affordable meal. The food is of high quality and the prices are reasonable. For a group of 3-4 people, expect to spend around 700-1,000 baht per person. Be sure to make a reservation, as the restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends.
