[2025 Bangkok Restaurant] Travel Guide for Nai Ek Roll Noodle (Updated Jun)

When coming to Yaowarat, I have to eat here almost every time. For me, it's this restaurant: Nai Ek's Kuay Chap. It even received a Michelin award. The Kuay Chap tastes good. The pork is crispy. But let me tell you first. There are a lot of people. You have to wait in line when you go to eat. Leave time and a stomach before going. If you are someone who doesn't have time, I will review another restaurant for you. The taste is similar but there are fewer people. ^^ #TravelThailand #RecommendedRestaurant #foodie #MustEatIfYouCome

One of Michelin guide Street Food Restaurants! It was a small restaurant in china town but the foods were amazing. You MUST TRY crispy pork, its one of the best place i have ever tried. Kway Chap was very peppery. The bowl includes offals like minced pork, sliced pork, stomach, liver, kidney, tongue and crispy pork. Their soup taste very peppery which might be abit too much for some. Long line but moving vert fast! Worth the wait! Customers come in and leave pretty quickly. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!!

Right in the heart of Yaowarat (Chinatown Bangkok) lies a street food legend you simply can’t miss: Nai Ek Roll Noodle (นายอ้วน ก๋วยจั๊บน้ำใส). It’s a humble spot with a big reputation — ask any local, and they’ll tell you this is one of the best bowls in town. What makes Nai Ek famous is its signature Guay Jub Nam Sai (ก๋วยจั๊บน้ำใส) — rolled rice noodles in a clear, peppery broth packed with porky goodness. It’s simple, satisfying, and full of flavor. The noodles are soft and chewy, and the soup is rich with garlic, white pepper, and slow-cooked pork bones. Topped with crispy pork belly, intestines, and other pork cuts, it’s a must-try for food lovers who want to taste authentic Teochew-Chinese Thai street food. This shop is always busy — especially at night — but the service is quick and efficient. You’ll sit among locals and foodies who know the value of a well-balanced, old-school bowl of comfort. Besides the signature dish, you can also try their crispy pork rice, boiled eggs, or braised pork intestines. Everything is well-prepared, clean, and packed with tradition. The prices are very fair too — around 60–100 THB per dish. 📍 Nai Ek Roll Noodle (นายอ้วน ก๋วยจั๊บน้ำใส) – Chinatown, Yaowarat Road, Bangkok ⏰ Open daily from late morning until midnight 🍽 Must-try: Guay Jub Nam Sai, Crispy Pork Belly, Braised Offal 💸 Cheap, fast, and always satisfying This isn’t just a meal — it’s a taste of Bangkok’s Chinatown heritage.

Every time I go to Yaowarat, I must have noticed Nai Ek's Kuay Chap shop. At first, when I walked past this shop and saw that there were a lot of people queuing up, I wondered what shop had such a long queue. I wanted to try it, so I joined the queue. I waited for almost an hour. The price is quite high, starting at 100 baht per bowl. When I tried it, I knew that the highlight of this shop is the rich Kuay Chap. But the other menus I ordered were also delicious. The highlight of this shop is the clear Kuay Chap soup with a fragrant peppery soup, with a good spicy taste. The Kuay Chap noodles are chewy and the crispy pork is also good. It has various organs such as liver, heart, intestines, and stomach. If you don't eat it, you can tell the shop. The recommended menu is the crispy pork Kuay Chap, starting at 80 baht. There are also other menus such as pork blood soup, roasted pork ribs, braised duck, and black chicken stewed in Chinese herbs. Before going back, we stopped by some shop to eat toast. The filling was very full. I can't remember the name of the shop. If anyone knows, please comment and tell me. The shop is open every day from 07:30 to 01:00. Due to its popularity, there may be a long queue in the evening. It is recommended to go before noon to avoid a long wait. #Yaowarat #KuayJap #YaowaratBangkok #Bangkok

#favouriteitinerary This Nai Ek Roll Noodle Soup shop in Yaowarat, Bangkok sells the best pork-based noodles and rices. Their various types of pork meat, the braised ones, fried ones, charsiew, sausages are the top-tiers in the city. I particularly love their braised pork with salted vegetables. Do add braised tofus and mushrooms to complement your meal. Truly a gastronomic sumptuous lunch I had and I would visit this place again if I come back here. On the side note, do try their exotic fried insects if you are brave.

#favouriteitinerary One of my must-visit spots in Bangkok’s Chinatown is Nai Ek Roll Noodle, a well-loved eatery specializing in Thai-style kway chap—rolled rice noodles served in a rich, peppery broth. With over fifty years of history, it started as a humble pushcart before establishing itself in Yaowarat in 1989. The highlight here is the signature kway chap, where delicate, thinly rolled rice noodles soak up the deep, aromatic broth. The peppery flavor is bold and invigorating—perfect for those who enjoy a strong kick, though it might be intense for those with a milder palate. Adding to the dish’s depth is a generous mix of crispy pork belly, minced pork, sliced pork, and pork offal, creating a satisfying balance of textures and flavors. Despite its popularity, Nai Ek Roll Noodle remains a simple, no-frills eatery with a casual, non-air-conditioned setup and limited seating. The shop is especially packed in the evenings, so for a smoother experience, the best time to visit is in the morning when the crowd is smaller. Open daily from 7:30 AM to 12:30 AM, except Mondays when it starts at 7:30 PM, it’s a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night meal. For anyone exploring Yaowarat, this legendary noodle shop is an essential stop, offering a taste of Bangkok’s street food heritage in every comforting bowl. #travel #thingstodo #familytravel #myitinerary #citydaytours #localfood #thailandtrip

#getgoing2025 #NaiEkRollNoodle If you’re looking for a comforting and flavorful meal in Bangkok, Nai Ek Roll Noodle (ก๋วยจิ้มนายเล็ก) is a fantastic choice! Located in Chinatown (Yaowarat), this famous eatery has been serving up delicious Thai-Chinese dishes for decades and is well-loved by both locals and tourists. ⭐️ While their peppery roll noodle soup is the star of the menu, I went for their braised pork with rice (ข้าวหน้าหมูตุ๋น)—and it was absolutely worth it! The pork was tender, rich in flavor, and paired perfectly with fragrant jasmine rice. The sauce had a deep, savory taste with a hint of sweetness, making every bite incredibly satisfying. 🍽️💯 One of the best things about Nai Ek is their fast service and affordable prices—a plate of pork with rice costs around ฿50-70, making it a great option for a delicious meal without breaking the bank. 🏆 Fun fact: The restaurant has been around since the 1960s, and its long-standing popularity speaks for itself! The atmosphere is lively, with people constantly coming in and out, but that just adds to the charm. If you’re craving simple yet flavorful Thai-Chinese comfort food, Nai Ek Roll Noodle is highly recommended. Just be prepared to wait a little during peak hours—it’s that good! 😋

#Bangkok Attractions Located in a side street in Bangkok, Chen Yi Kuey Teow is a time-honored restaurant that has been operating for over 70 years. This historic rice noodle shop brought me a unique taste experience. I ordered a bowl of the signature pork noodle soup. It was served steaming hot, with chewy noodles, tender and juicy shredded pork, and a perfectly cooked soup base. It tasted super delicious. The most valuable thing, of course, is the handmade fresh rice noodles. The master kneads and twists the rice noodles into smooth and chewy ones with his own hands, and the process looks very smooth and simple. The moment you put it in your mouth, you can clearly feel the unique chewiness and elasticity of the rice noodles, which is completely different from ordinary clean rice noodles.

When I passed by this restaurant in Chinatown, I saw many people queuing outside the door, so I went in to try it. After eating, I realized that it was a must-eat restaurant. [Mint] Environment: The environment is lacking, but if compared with the restaurants next door, it is clean. [Service Bell] Service: The service is also lacking because the charges are very cheap, so there will be no service, and this restaurant sells the taste. I recommend their pork rice noodle, which is made with pepper pork tripe soup base, and the pork knuckle rice is also good, the pork knuckle is soft but not greasy. The other products are not bad, it is an old-fashioned food, the marinade is salty, unlike most restaurants nowadays where the soy sauce is sweet, so the old taste is durable 😉

Getting There - Wat Mangkon MRT station Attractions - Yaowarat Road, Chinatown The crispy pork rice is absolutely amazing. Be prepared for a crowd as Thai locals frequent this shop as well.
