About Golden Boy

Step into Golden Boy on North Terrace for proper sanuk—a high-decibel dining room trading in uncompromising Thai heat and zero pretension. Diners in the know bypass the menu debate and hand dinner over to the floor team with the Tuk Tuk banquet. Call out a craving or two, note your dietaries, and let staff pace the table. Dishes arrive fast: crisp pork shoulder pancakes, kampot pepper fried chicken, and kingfish sashimi, before richer bowls of wagyu massaman curry take over alongside flaky roti and pandan custard. Portions run heavy enough to leave everyone rolling out the door.

  • The 'Tuk Tuk' Banquet: A banquet format where servers curate the meal progression around your cravings and dietary requirements, pacing courses until the table is completely satisfied.
  • Punchy Shared Plates: Kitchen signatures center on pork shoulder pancakes, kampot pepper fried chicken, tender wagyu massaman curry, and warm roti dipped in pandan custard.
  • Lively CBD Energy: A buzzing North Terrace floor calibrated for groups and milestone dinners, backed by attentive service and drinks built to cut through chili heat.

  • Roti with Pandan Custard

    For dessert we had Roti with Pandan Custard and that was the perfect desert, which we had to eat on the go as we were too full to eat after those meals.

  • Attentive Multi-Dietary Management

    Floor staff demonstrate exact dish knowledge across mixed group bookings, tailoring shared courses so guests with coeliac and specific allergy needs never miss out.

  • Unhurried Late-Evening Welcomes

  • Collaborate on the Tuk Tuk Menu

    Take the guesswork out of ordering by opting for the 'Tuk Tuk' banquet. Name a couple of priority dishes you want to try—such as the kingfish sashimi or rolled noodles—and let the floor staff curate the balance of the courses.

  • Pace Yourself and Arrive Hungry

    Portions across the multi-course banquet are notably generous, frequently spanning seven to eight hearty plates. Arrive with a hearty appetite, or consider ordering à la carte if dining companions prefer a lighter meal.

  • Flag Dietary Needs Upfront

    Staff are thoroughly trained on ingredient breakdowns and allergy management, seamlessly tailoring courses for coeliacs and vegetarians. Mention any table restrictions upon arrival so courses flow smoothly.
