Ton Pho Review

This almost-20-year-old restaurant is popular with locals, and a good place to try real Thai food (at real Thai prices). The restaurant is riverside but overlooks the busy public boat pier that accesses Banglampoo and the popular Khao San Road area -- which means that the view is of groups gathering and departing on smoke-belching river buses rather than a wide riverside landscape. Great stir-fries and classic Thai dishes, such as tom yum goong and coconut milk-infused soups and curries, make up for the poor view.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
