Joke Sam Yan · Reviews

Fast service, big meatballs, and that extra ginger on top made the whole bowl feel way more comforting than a 55-baht breakfast has any right to be.

Very good Congee with Pork Meat and Innards.

Isaac Hill (2025)

If you're a congee lover, Joke Sam Yan is a must-visit! The porridge is incredibly smooth, and the meatballs are bursting with flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the air-conditioned seating area, which is a lifesaver in this weather. A tip: go during odd hours to avoid the crowd. Can't wait to come back!

The best congee I've ever had in Bangkok! The pork meatballs are so tasty and the congee itself is smooth and fresh. Add a bit of pepper for an extra kick. Highly recommend this spot for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

This place lives up to the hype with its delicious congee and well-marinated meatballs. The price is super affordable, but be warned, one serving might not be enough to keep you full for long. No worries though, there's plenty of good food to explore nearby on Banthadthong Road.

Joke Sam Yan serves some of the best porridge in Bangkok. The minced meat is delicious, and I highly recommend ordering extra. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
