Jeh O Chula

If you’re planning to visit, be sure to make a reservation directly with the restaurant and take some time to explore the surroundings while you wait for your turn. It’s a very busy spot, so a bit of planning helps. The food is worth trying at least once, but in my opinion, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. It felt a bit overrated and lacked the wow factor I was expecting. The atmosphere also left something to be desired. Guests wait outside before being seated, and once inside, the space is extremely cold, which gets the food to cool down quickly. The menu itself could use some refinement as well - it didn’t feel particularly unique or thoughtfully curated. Overall, while I wouldn’t return, it’s worth experiencing at least once for the sake of curiosity. Just temper your expectations.

There’s always a very long queue, so it’s strongly recommended to join the waitlist through the mobile app in advance. If you show up without booking via the app, you’ll almost certainly have to wait behind hundreds of people — which can take at least 2 hours. We joined the queue on the app about 3 hours before arriving, and it worked out well, we only wait outside for 30 minutes. Another notice is cash only, so better to prepare if you have strong card payment preference. The pork sausage was surprisingly tasty, and the salmon with green Thai sauce is definitely worth a try. The signature tom yum was good, but honestly, it didn’t quite live up to the hype.

Tried the famous Mama Tom Yum Mixed Seafood Noodles at Jeh O Chula and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The broth was rich, savoury, and packed with just the right amount of spice to wake up your taste buds. The seafood—especially the prawns🦐—was fresh and generously portioned. Every bite felt like comfort food at its best. Cravings completely satisfied! Definitely a must-try for any food lover visiting Bangkok. That said, coming with a bigger group would definitely be ideal. There were so many other mouthwatering dishes on the menu that I wanted to try, but the portions are generous and best shared. Next time, I’m coming with friends to sample more of what Jeh O has to offer!

I highly recommend not coming here on an empty stomach—but trust me, the wait is totally worth it. This was actually my first time trying Tom Yum in Thailand, and it was so good. The broth, the condiments, and all the toppings like prawn, squid, egg, etc. everything just worked perfectly together. Plus, the portion was pretty big too! And I recommend to try the omelette!

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.

It’s not worth to queue for 1-3 hours. Get the Queue beforehand and walk around. Taste is pretty alright for the main dish. We find that the noodle was a bit too overcooked for our taste. We ordered some side dishes and they were nice such as the shrimp cake. The fried pork was too dry for my taste but it was very crispy. Stir fry vege was average and dumplings(looks like siew mai) are average. I don’t see myself coming back unless prompted to and someone else does the wait for me. It’s a good one time try.

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.
