Nai Ek Roll Noodle – Chinatown’s Legendary Bowl of Comfort

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. Come hungry, and leave with a smile (and maybe a little spice sweat)! 🌶️ #naiekrollnoodle #yaowarateats #chinatownbangkok #streetfoodlegend #tripcomthailand #guayjub #bangkokfoodie #hiddengemthailand #localtaste #porkloversheaven
