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

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!!

very very nice place have a lot of delicious food ,you can get in full with cheap price

#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.

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.
