Jiangnan cooking on the fourth floor of Gaysorn Amarin

Bangkok is full of Cantonese kitchens but short on Jiangnan cooking, the Shanghai-and-Hangzhou style built on sweet soy, river fish, and drunken chicken. Purple Laurel fills that gap on the fourth floor of Gaysorn Amarin.

It landed on Friday Bangkok's list of the year's best openings. The floor is stacked with new mall restaurants, so weekday walk-ins are easy.

We tried the chilled cherry jelly with foie gras, roasted pigeon, goby fish with Puning sauce, and mapo tofu with crab meat and minced beef. Fancy presentation, food can be a bit more flavorful. A polished dining experience, from the beautiful setting to the excellent service. The service was attentive throughout, making it a great choice for family gatherings and special occasions.

This is a very beautiful place with wonderful staff, and ambience to ensure a wonderful dinner. Is very good place for business dinner, alone, with family and even with a partner. Every dish is beautifully plated with good choice of cutlery and full of smiles n good English by this waiter call Sai .

The service and attention by Vijay and Susan were impeccable. We enjoyed the food we ordered very much. Especially the presentation. Food that thrilled us visually, scent-wise and taste buds-wise. The Chinese songs 邓丽君 played almost towards the end of our meal, however, was not appropriate for the fine dining restaurant though. More suitable for a café, bistro, cabaret or 歌台.

I had dinner here today. Every detail—from the food, to the ambiance, to the service—was absolutely perfect. It far exceeded my expectations. From the freshness of the ingredients to the precision of the cooking and the incredible flavors, the quality here is on par with top Chinese chefs. The service was also excellent; SAI, who looked after us, was very attentive, meticulous, and friendly. I'm truly delighted to have found such a high‑level Chinese restaurant in Bangkok. Fantastic — highly recommended!
