Guay Jub

Compared to the famous version served in Yaowarat, the soup here is more full-bodied and, as a result, more scrumptious. You’ll get a bowl (Chinese noodles, B40) with a good balance of shredded pork, sliced pork, sieng jee (kidney) and properly cleaned and perfectly cooked intestines. But we recommend you ask for some extra parts (B10) as portions aren’t the largest and, really, too much is not enough.

Haa Bai Tao

Noodles again, you moan. But these are no ordinary noodles. This recipe comes from the five sisters who gave the shop its name. What’s so special about it? The noodles (B30) are wonderful—chewy but not too soggy. The place really demonstrates how good stock makes everything better, while the entrails are delightful and the moo krob (crispy pork) addictive. Just make sure you get there before 1pm, otherwise, the moo krob will have run out.

Sor Suki

Don’t let the grumpy uncle scare you away from one of the best street suki (B60) joints in town. Claiming to serve “authentic” suki, the place definitely provides a unique taste through a very balanced suki sauce. The pork, too, is amazing—juicy and tender throughout. The price might be slightly high, but once you try it, one dish is never enough. Opening times are really uncertain, so we suggest you drop by before nightfall.

Khao Tom Pla Tha Chalom

This bowl of porridge is sure to delight you. The owners tell us that the fish is bought daily and we believe it because the fish here has no fishy smell at all. The soup is naturally sweet with a pleasant touch of garlic. As for the tao jiew (salted soy bean), it’s tastily homemade and not too salty, unlike the bottled variety.
Open daily 5pm-midnight

Jay Joo

You might have heard of this famous noodles stall. The most popular dish here is yen ta fo (B40) which comes with flavorful bean curd, while high quality condiments are in good supply and the morning glory fresh and crisp. We recommend having it in the tom yum style.

Porn Jaroen

Under the same roof as Jay Joo, Porn Jaroen is a must-try for the sweet toothed. The place serves up coconut milk ice cream (B25) which is rich and succulent. The most popular topping is the corn soup.

Tee Aoun

Get ready to stand your ground because you’ll never know when the Thai-Chinese aunties will try to cut the queue for this real deal soybean milk (B8). This place really offers the authentic taste of healthy nam tao huu: just breathe in the aroma of the soybean and taste the natural sweetness. Make sure to ask for the tofu skin, too.

Kanom Jeen Hai Lum

A hard-to-find dish (rice vermicelli in Hainanese style) that here is very well executed. It’s no surprise this place has been opened for more than 15 years. The kapi (shrimp paste) sauce is tasty, the noodles delightfully chewy and the meat tender, while the nuts are fresh and the pickled cabbage not overly sour. No need to order pork, stick to the beef (B40) as it’s much more flavorful.
