Laab Somphit
ลาบสมพิศ
Long-established Isan restaurant opened in 1969, with consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendations; pork laab, grilled pork liver and Korat-style green papaya salad are the signatures.
A family restaurant founded by grandmother Somphit, it has been serving since 1969. Today her granddaughter greets guests, and since 2024 it has received a Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation every year. It uses good-quality beef and pork. Signature dishes include pork laab with pork liver, grilled pork liver, Korat-style green papaya salad, sour and spicy beef soup, and raw beef salad (koi khua), all eaten with sticky rice. The flavors are spicy, so ask for less heat if you prefer. The restaurant is in a lane on Chan Road in the west of the city, and there is little roadside parking. About 100–250 baht per person.
