Jeh O Chula

We ordered noodles, some fries, and a Spanish curry—all of which were super affordable and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! The service was excellent, and the shop is clean and hygienic—definitely up to Michelin-star standards. P.S. The 300-baht noodle portion is generous enough for three people if you’re sharing it with rice. Pro tip: Be sure to download the app and queue in advance before arriving. Try to get there early, around 4:00 p.m., to avoid a long wait.

Finally got to try the famous Tom Yum Mama noodles with crispy pork ribs, it was totally worth it! The broth was packed with flavor, spicy and tangy in the best way, and the crispy pork ribs were tender and delicious. The price was super reasonable too, around 165 baht. Heads up though - you need to download the QueQ app to book your spot. The restaurant opens at 3:50 PM, but you can only book the queue when you're near the location, so make sure to head there first before trying to reserve. The place gets busy fast, but the staff were super friendly and organized. If you're in Bangkok and up for some bold Thai flavors, definitely give this spot a try!

Jeh O Chula – Chaos, Queues, and One Glorious Bowl of Noodles Yes, the queue is long. Yes, it rained. And no—we didn’t flinch. Because when you’re here for Jeh O’s infamous Mama tom yum seafood bowl, not even the weather stands a chance. It’s a glorious pile of everything good in the world: prawns, squid, meatballs, crispy pork, and a jammy egg sitting like royalty on top. The broth hits all the right notes—spicy, rich, tangy, and just a little unhinged (in a good way). Comfort food with a kick. The scene? Controlled chaos. Tables everywhere, trays moving fast, staff somehow remembering 50 things at once. And still, it all works. Bring patience, maybe an umbrella, definitely friends. Rain or shine—we’d do it again.

Authentic Thai Experience at Jeh O Chula - Worth a Try, But Plan Accordingly The queue system is fair and moves relatively quickly, but be prepared to wait - our number was 100 and we ended up waiting nearly 2 hours! The mama tom yum is delicious, though I did have to follow up when they forgot my order. Their crispy pork is a definite highlight, especially with the accompanying sauce. The salmon salad was slightly firm but still tasty. Overall, it’s a worthwhile dining experience that showcases authentic Thai flavors, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re in a hurry. While I’ll return in the future, I’ve set my personal limit at a 30-minute wait maximum. Tip: Visit during off-peak hours if possible to minimize wait times!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We were super lucky to snag the first dinner reservation at 4 PM! No visit here is complete without the legendary Mama Noodles Tom Yum, and with 5 of us dining, we went for the only available size for 5 pax at ฿850. This isn’t your average instant noodles—it’s an upgraded feast loaded with crab legs, squid, meatballs, pork, eggs, crispy pork, and more. Pro tip: once the pot arrives, stir fast to let the eggs cook perfectly! The crab leg is a breeze to eat, just pull the edge, and the meat slides right out. Beyond the noodles, we also ordered 2 vegetable dishes, a massive crispy pork knuckle, and chye por (preserved radish) egg. Everything was flavorful, leaning towards the salty side. That’s what makes it delicious! Definitely worth a first-time try.

I visited this restaurant as part of the street foods marathon with my friends. This restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in the area. We'd already made 3 stops before visiting this restaurant. Still, we ate a lot. 😉 Food is delicious and the price is very reasonable.

Jeh O is absolutely worth the hype - such a great spot for late-night eats. The tom yum mama noodles are packed with flavour, and the crispy pork is a must try too - perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Just a heads up: you will need to use the application QueQ to grab a queue number.

Jeh O Chula – Bangkok’s Late-Night Street Food Legend 🇹🇭 Hidden near Chulalongkorn University, this humble street-side spot has been serving Thai comfort food for over 30 years — but it blew up when they introduced their viral Tom Yum Mama Noodles back in 2015. 🔥 Now? It’s a Michelin Bib Gourmand street food icon. 📌 The bowl: Spicy, tangy tom yum broth loaded with Thailand’s famous Mama noodles — with your choice of mixed meats & seafood 🐖🦐 or all seafood 🦐🦀 — and topped with crispy pork, meatballs, soft-boiled eggs, and more. We used the QueQ app to book our spot — arrived at 3:30 PM, got booking number 8, and they opened sharp at 3:50 PM. ⏰ Peak hours are usually 9–11 PM, so booking early is a game changer! 💰 All this deliciousness cost us less than 120 AED (around 1070 baht) — affordable and SO worth it. Jeh O Chula is one Bangkok bite you won’t forget. 📍 @jeh_o_chula
