Taling Pling
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/Bangkok, r/Thailand7 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Taling Pling, and several praise its food. One diner says it is the top mid-range Thai pick and that seeing well-off Thais eat there suggests authenticity. One commenter says the Soi 34 branch stands out for its courtyard terrace, while other branches are also good on food. Another commenter warns that the restaurant, like the other two places on the original list, now seems largely geared toward tourists, which runs against the original poster's wish for a place Thais go.
