Imagine stepping into a world where time seems to slow down, allowing you to savor the exquisite flavors of dim sum. Welcome to the Asiatique Ancient Tea House, a gorgeously refurbished riverside gem that’s been standing for 111 glorious years. This dining haven invites you on an enchanting culinary journey with its “All-You-Can-Eat Yum Cha” experience—an exceptional treat for afternoons or evenings spent with your loved ones, be it friends, family, or that special someone.
Rooted deeply in southern Chinese tradition, yum cha has been uniting people over tea and small bites for generations. At the Asiatique Ancient Tea House, they take this time-honored tradition to new heights with a menu that boasts over 30 mouthwatering handcrafted dim sum delicacies. Prepare to indulge in an array of tastes ranging from soft rice rolls to stir-fried sensations and delightful desserts.
Among the standout creations are the signature prawn Har Gao, elevated with a touch of asparagus, and the crispy pastry filled with shrimp and prosciutto ham. For those with adventurous palates, the indulgence of foie gras beckons, while the steamed crispy prawn rice roll promises to enchant. Don’t miss the deep-fried purple sweet potato with succulent shrimp and pork, or the comforting beef brisket egg noodle submerged in a rich chicken broth. And as your meal draws to a close, treat yourself to traditional desserts that offer a sweet, satisfying finish.
Perfectly nestled at Asiatique The Riverfront, this enchanting venue is both road and river accessible, featuring a complimentary shuttle boat from the pier beside the Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain station. It’s an easy journey to a destination that feels worlds away.

Embark on this delightful yum cha journey and let your taste buds revel in the diverse, authentic flavors that have stood the test of time at Asiatique Ancient Tea House. It’s more than a meal; it’s an experience to cherish, creating memories that linger long after the last bite.
I love that they are honoring such a traditional aspect of Chinese culture with yum cha. It sounds absolutely delicious!
Totally! But I hope the ‘All-You-Can-Eat’ thing doesn’t compromise the quality of the dim sum.
Good point! I guess we’ll have to try it to find out. Quality should be the priority.
I’ve been there. The quality is surprisingly top-notch. Everything tasted fresh to me!
THB 888++ for this seems a bit steep! Dim sum should be affordable for everyone.
But it’s such a unique experience in a historical setting. You’re paying for more than just the food!
I agree. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. It might be a special occasion place.
It’s incredible to maintain this venue for over a century. Such history in dining is rare.
Why the obsession with foie gras everywhere? It’s kind of morally questionable.
Agree. Animal welfare should be higher on our priority list when it comes to dining options.
A lot of people enjoy it as a luxury, but educating diners could help shift preferences.
I visited last week. The ambiance is magical, but weekends get crowded so plan accordingly.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve been on the fence about when to go. Sounds like a weekday visit might be better.
Definitely recommend weekdays if you can! Less stress and more time to enjoy.
This place is a tourist trap! Prices are jacked up because of the location.
Disagree. I think it’s more about the unique blend of culture and cuisine than just location.
I wish more places offered generous discounts like they do for Marriott Bonvoy members.
True, but it does add value to membership. It’s a pain if you’re not in the loyalty program though.
This seems like a foodie’s paradise! That deep-fried purple sweet potato dish sounds so unique.
It does! Sweet potatoes and shrimp are an odd pair, but I’m curious how they taste together.
It’s great to see traditional herbal Chinese teas paired in such thoughtful ways. Makes the experience more authentic.
Can someone tell me more about the free-flow water? Is it actually good or just fancy tap water?
It’s actually bottled mineral water, so no worries about tap quality here.
The commute via river feels like an adventure in itself. Has anyone tried it yet?
Honestly, non-Members should not be pushed to join Bonvoy just for a 10% discount. Feels like a marketing stunt!
It’s a great opportunity to indulge during special occasions. The price seems justified, considering the quality and service.
