We went there to try our luck before doing a walking tour, so we arrived at 8:55am and they had a list (already one and a half page full) so we put our name down and left ( apparently the list is open from 7am to 9am) we did a two hours walking tour then inside some places and head back around 12:45, they were on number 27 and we were 40 but we only waited 30 min to be seated since a lot of people weren't there ( they call you twice and that's it) . Before you get seated you must order all the food ( can't add after seated) I've noticed they tell all the walkings that no more service today but they did reopen the waiting list around 1:30pm, so if you're not lucky in the morning try again around that time.

Price per Plate- 600bhat -1500bhat

Address - 327 Maha Chai Rd, Samran Rat, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand. Environment/Facilities - As old Thai restaurants, more spacious seats, 30-40 people or so (so that's the reason to wait so long) 😅🥹 Specialty - Crab meat egg cake 🥞crab meat omelette (probably the only food worth trying!) The price is expensive for a reason, this crab meat is very fresh, the meat texture can be seen ️ very clearly, once you try to know not dead crab meat! As for the other foods, Thai porridge, it was so "great"! No moisture! Price per person - Thai dollars Rating - We arrived at 2:30 and there was already a lot of people waiting for a seat, at least over 30 people. The number was called to 77, fortunately we could not help but go next door to eat pizza to satisfy the stomach first, or order a cup of coffee drink 🥤 and so on. After waiting for 2 and a half hours, when I went in and ordered what I wanted to eat, I had to wait another half hour before it was really available! Three hours before and after is for crab meat egg cake! After trying other foods, I just thought the crabmeat egg cake was worth a try! Because although this price is expensive, the ingredients are fresh! There's trouble! The master has merit! It's up to you to decide whether to order other foods or not.

One of the signature dishes for Jay Fai restaurant is crab omelet. This place is Thai street food Michelin star. #bangkok #thaifood

In order to eat this Michelin restaurant on the streets of Bangkok, we waited for three hours before we could eat the Michelin one-star restaurant on the streets of Bangkok. The golden egg crabs and curry crabs here are very delicious, all full of fresh crab meat. All the dishes in the store are all from the 72-year-old grandmother Shu Pingya, so the diners will experience a long wait time. The restaurant was originally a diners. After being selected for one Michelin star this year, it was a crowd of people. It was busy that Shu Pingya wanted to return this star to Michelin. Come here and don't want to wait in line to eat, you can call or email an appointment three months in advance, you can skip the queue~
