    Really enjoyed the rolled noodles with crispy pork. First time trying this kind of noodle and I really like it. Never seen these before too. The pork skin was super crispy and the pork was tender. The soup was flavorful but pretty garlicky. They serve the food really fast here. Perfect if you need a quick bite.

    Was lucky to quickly get a seat because a queue formed after - be prepared to squeeze and share tables with strangers though because they are pretty much packed. The rolled noodle soup was peppery and delicious, and the pork knuckle rice was very flavourful. It was a very hearty and comforting meal, I loved it. They are indeed worth the hype. Recommended!!

    The rice roll noodle soup was on point. It was Al dente. The broth was well seasoned with loads of different meat. Price was very affordable. Service was excellence even with the crowd. I was sitter right away since I’m just one person. Bathroom available inside.

    Comparing to their competitor down the road, the small bowl costs 10baht more. The obvious different is the soup base here is less spicy, less peppery. If you do not want to wait in the long line, can always consider takeaway, but remember to ask them to put in the takeaway paper bowl, else they will use plastic bags for takeaway. You can stand by the stall or by the street to eat and it still taste good and pipping hot.

    High quality food as very reasonable prices. This is a no-frills restaurant serving up delicious noodle soup and rice dishes. We went with recommended items on the menu: rice roll noodle soup & roasted pork with rice. The roll noodles are nice and chewy while the soup broth is rich and peppery. The pork in the soup was nice and tender. As for the roasted pork, the skin was very crispy as it should be. Michelin got it right with this recommendation.

    Delicious street food with low price. I would recommend L size for each dish. The crispy pork is thick and tasty and the sauce is also yummy. The roll noodles soup is beyond expectation, all selections in the soup are delicious, especially with pepper soup. Actually most restaurants in China town are expensive, but this small restaurant is really good, in spite of its hot and crowded environment, it offers good food with reasonable price.

    Very efficient place which we get seated with a little wait despite the long queue. The roll noodles souptastese a bit peppery, but it is definitely good. Among the side dish, the roast pork is the best.

    It was busy here but we got seated very quickly. The service was perfect, a menu was given to us as soon as we sat down, our order was taken very quickly and the food and drinks were brought over quickly too. The rolled noodle soup with crispy pork was delicious 😋

    You MUST TRY crispy pork, its one of the best place i have ever tried. Other pork dishes are also delicious! (My pictures) The noodles is nothing special (i see a lot of people tried it) Long line but moving vert fast! Worth the wait!

    Amazing!! We hopped in the queue here before we even knew anything about the place, as queues usually mean good things! We weren’t disappointed. We had a large crispy pork rice plate to share as we had been eating our way around Chinatown already. The pork was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They take your order in the queue, so it’s pretty much ready when you get your table- we only waited around 15 minutes. So worth it, incredibly story, with a well-deserved Michelin recognition!

    AMAZING! I ate here almost everyday in Bangkok and it still wasn’t enough! I’ll be dreaming of the roll noodle soup with crispy pork forever. It’s delicious! We came at various times and sometimes there was a line, but it moves quick! I recommend the roll noodle soup with crispy pork and the pork spareribs stew with rice - both are incredible! Love this place! Also it’s cash only, so make sure to bring cash

    It is a must-visit restaurant if you want to eat noodles in Chinatown. The ripeness of the pork and offal is very good. Put quite heavy pepper, hot and spicy. Recommend the crispy pork dish, the most delicious. It is recommended to come before 17:30, otherwise the line will be very long.

  • 5/5 Sin S. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the best Kuay Chap in Yaowarat Chinatown. Not as spicy as the other Michelin stall but very nice. Roasted pork and fatty pig leg were very good! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Maria J. V. 7 months ago on Google
    The soup with crispy pork and roll noodles is just ridiculously good. Crispy pork with rice as well. Well, crispy pork is just glorious. The queue goes fast so don’t be put off by it. Not a place to talk about life in a long dinner, just pick your dish, order, eat, pay and leave.

  • 4/5 Jerry 8 months ago on Google
    The restaurant is known for its just chap, which is a type of rolled rice noodle soup topped with crispy roast pork. The soup is flavorful and the noodles are perfectly chewy, and the crispy roast pork is simply divine. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The pork was cooked perfectly and it had a nice crispy skin. The soup was also very flavorful, and it had a nice peppery kick to it. Queue moves fast despite the long queue.

    More than a noodle stall, it sells a variety of roast meats and soup dishes. Their meats are roasted just right, with crispy skin accompanied by their braised sauce, which is a perfect combination. Their braised pork is also a crowd-favourite, the soft and tender meat paired with fragrant white rice. However, do note that seating is limited and long queues are expected during peak period.

  • 4/5 J M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a good place to get your fill of crispy pork with rice and gravy. I would give it 5 stars but I haven't tried other dishes and the last time we went the larger portion seemed a bit light on the crispy pork. I hope next time we get enough for paying more for a bigger dish. Overall, I would recommend this local place but it can get really busy and hot.

  • 5/5 Chrissy T. 7 months ago on Google
    My family was in the queue for 15 mins but it was worth the wait. The roll noodle was mildly soft, the broth was well-seasoned and rich in pepper flavour. The star was the pork skin. It was crispy and mouth-watering. It got better after the second or third piece. We all enjoyed the food there.

  • 5/5 Terrance S. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolute big surprise of how good the food is. Tasty, no “porky” smell and definitely well balanced peppery soup. Need to Q but service was fast. Not the best atmosphere to dine but definitely recommended to try at least once

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very popular place so it's good that they have a queue system at the front of the shop. You can order while waiting and pass the order slip to a waitress when you get a table. The rolled noodles soup was peppery and full of flavour. The braised pork dish was also very good and the pork was tender. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

  • 4/5 Timothy T. 1 year ago on Google
    Famous soup noodle that’s v strong in peppery soup (abit spicy!), smooth noodle, crunchy crispy roast pork, soft liver. Taste superb but a little overpowering and strong in pepper to enjoy the other meats in the bowl. Get a nice icy coconut juice at the stall in front of it to cool down the spice! Felt the other famous store down the road has a better balance and taste than this place. Join the queue it’s worth a try :)

  • 5/5 Miss Kueh S. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the tasty and tender braised pork trotters I've tried! It's so soft and juicy! It doesn't feel too oily, the skin is very soft too! They have leaner meat options (pork rump rice) too! Try their roast pork belly, the skin is very crispy too! Their soup is filled with herbs and rich. Love it! If you take pig's blood jelly, try their pork entrail soup, its very fresh! Recommended!! They're awarded Michelin too!

  • 5/5 Andrew H. 1 year ago on Google
    Well worth the wait in line for the food which was awarded Michelin previously. Always crowed and pack at all times of the day. Must try is the crispy pork and the mixed pig organ soup. Cheap and well recommended!!

  • 5/5 Wei Leng T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite spot for nice delicious food. The pork is crispy and the soup has just the right touch of peppery taste. And don’t miss the nice braised pork legs.

  • 5/5 Charlotte Y. 9 months ago on Google
    A must have when u are in Chinatown. The queue is super long especially on eating hours but it was definitely worth wait. The tenderness of the pork leg and peppery of the pork soup, the softness of the roll noodles , the crispness of the pork belly is just (chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳💋)

  • 2/5 Emre S. 1 year ago on Google
    I wonder why Micheline gave a star to this place twice in the past. I did not enjoy eating anything here. The meals are very simple and there is nothing special with them. You can find better restaurants with a relaxing atmosphere. In this restaurant, you feel that you should eat your food quickly and leave as soon as possible.

    Good taste. Highly recommended. Roll noodle is more on the clear soup with pepper spicy. Crispy pork is very good. Pork ribs with rice taste is quite balanced, not too sweet, a bit herbal smell.
