The Legend of Gok Jai Lau

"Gok Jai Lau" is a renowned Chinese restaurant with a legacy spanning over 80 years, recognized as the original creator of durian mooncake filling, the first in the world to introduce this innovation.

Established in 1944 (B.E. 2487), the restaurant was originally located in China Town, Bangkok. In 1984 (B.E. 2527), after its lease expired, it relocated to Charoen Rad, Khlong San, Bangkok and was renamed “Gok Jai Jao Lao.”

The restaurant preserves its original recipes and quality, with the founder’s son passing down its legacy to the third generation, ensuring its traditions endure.
