A legendary beef stew noodle shop famous for its perpetual broth, with the giant simmering pot at the entrance being a landmark of Ekkamai.
A classic beef noodle shop on Ekkamai Road, featuring a giant pot of slow-simmering beef broth at the entrance that has been brewing for over 50 years. The signature dish is the stewed beef rice noodles, alongside Chinese herb-stewed goat meat and stewed beef tendon; a noodle-free version can be ordered with a side of rice. The interior features old-school tables, chairs, and ceiling fans without air conditioning, which can get hot at noon. Table sharing is required, and the lunch rush line often spills onto the sidewalk; visiting in the morning or mid-afternoon is more relaxed. No reservations needed. A regular bowl is about 100 THB, a large stewed beef bowl is about 150 THB, and goat meat or beef tendon is about 200 THB. It is about a 20-25 minute walk from Ekkamai BTS Station, so transferring to a motorcycle taxi or regular taxi is recommended.
