A Guide to the Best Street Food in Bangkok

Hi Cheng

Fish Ball Noodle

11:00-23:00

Authentic Thai Fish and Shrimp Ball Noodles at Hi Cheng

The fish ball noodles here are top-notch. They’re known for their fish balls, and you can even order a set of them. However, the noodles themselves are so good that I suggest getting them instead of just the fish balls. It's a bit pricier than typical street food, but worth it. There's curbside parking and it's a short walk from the MRT.

Guay Jub Ouan Pochana

Kway Chap

10:30-00:00

Stumbling upon Guay Jub Ouan Pochana might be the best decision you make while in Bangkok. The BBQ rice is a standout, delivering a unique and mouth-watering experience that leaves you wanting more. Although the interior may not be the most inviting and portions are small, the taste is worth the slightly higher price. If you're in Chinatown, this is a culinary gem you shouldn't miss.

Chakki

Wanton Noodles, Beef Horfun

Fri 11:00-15:00

Chakki is a must-visit spot in Ratchathewi for anyone craving a delicious street food experience in Bangkok. Their fried noodles with gravy are a standout, featuring a perfect combination of crispy and chewy textures. The rich and flavorful gravy, along with tender chicken, makes for a simple yet satisfying dish. Just a heads up, they tend to run out of items quickly, so timing is key!

Yentafo Convent

Pink Noodle Soup

Fri 07:00-15:30

Stumbling upon Yentafo Convent was a fortunate accident. The noodle shop offers a variety of options, including clear soup and red sauce soup, with different noodle types available. The clear soup is a refreshing choice for the morning, while the red sauce soup is rich and flavorful, more suited for lunch. With its affordable prices and Michelin recommendation, it's no wonder this spot is popular among locals.
