Smizzle Burger

Smizzle started as a small counter inside Bambini Villa, a garden compound off Sukhumvit Soi 26, and has grown into one of Bangkok's best-known smash-burger names, with Time Out listing it among the city's best burgers in 2024 and 2025. Patties are an Australian beef blend, smashed thin on the flat-top so the edges crisp up.

The Crusty Blondy (B290) is the signature, crowned with a wide, crunchy disc of fried cheddar and spicy Sriracha mayo. The Oklahoma (B270) is the top seller, with onions pressed into the patty, double cheese, dill pickles and garlic-onion sauce, while the Uptown Funk adds caramelised onions and truffle sauce. Most burgers can be ordered with pork instead of beef, in one, two or three patties. Messy fries and ice-cream shakes are the usual extras.

A casual, quick place for a weekday dinner rather than a long evening. The Ari branch is at 23/1 Soi Si Fa (open daily 10am–10pm), and there is a counter on the sixth floor of Central Embassy on Phloen Chit Road.
