Pasta & Hamburg

About Pasta & Hamburg

Pasta & Hamburg is a small, owner-run pasta shop on Chula Soi 3 in the Banthat Thong food area, a short walk from Chulalongkorn University. It also goes by Pasta Chula by CAT. Reviewers describe it as a hidden spot where the owner cooks each plate himself, with simple seating and a queue that forms early in the evening.

The menu is built around five pasta shapes and about fifteen sauces, from creamy prawn and pesto to spicy dried chili and garlic with beef or bacon. Plates sit roughly between 89 and 135 baht, and reviewers keep coming back to the value: good ingredients, generous portions and flavours tuned to Thai tastes.

It works best as a casual, low-cost date combined with a wander around Banthat Thong. Go close to opening time, take a queue number and plan something nearby while you wait, since reviewers report waits from 30 minutes to a few hours at peak dinner time.

• Owner cooks every plate
• Very good value for the quality
• Rich, creamy sauces
