Coming as a bit of a shock to those in the city who’ve been crying out for more and better American soul food, Tina’s Sathorn announced on social media yesterday that the space would be closing next week.
The space bled NOLA cuisine, a rare cajun treat in Bangkok, earning a Top Tables 2024 listing after being open for less than a year. However, the stylish spot will serve its last meal on Tuesday next week, July 29.
“After a year and a half, Tina’s will close its doors following our final day of service on Tuesday, July 29. It’s with a heavy heart that we close our doors but not without pride for the food we cooked, the service we gave, and the memories we were a part of making,” chef David Cleland, who named the restaurant after his mother, said in a social media post announcing the closure.
When it first came on the Bangkok scene, Tina’s quickly made a name for serving dishes that are difficult to find in Bangkok, from their boudin and crawfish cake to jambalaya and gumbo. The space was also known to host a variety of live music acts adding to the classic New Orleans restaurant vibes.
David goes on to say that they will continue serving the cuisine fare through pop-ups and that Nola Cafe Sathorn will remain open.
