Jay Jia Yentafo

Michelin recommended, tasty, clean, spacious, fast service. Also cheap, traditional dish that is perfect for lunch. Tom Yum soup is not the soup you think about! It’s just normal soup with very clean broth. Better order pink noodle soup, it’s tastier. And don’t forget to put some spices in it that are in the table.

I chanced upon Jay Jia Yentafo while taking a 30-minute walk from my hotel to clock some steps before dinner. Along the way, I noticed this humble spot with a Michelin Guide logo and decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the dry noodle dish and initially thought it might be bland since there didn’t seem to be any chili sauce. However, it turned out to be incredibly flavorful! The noodles were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chew, and the seasoning was well-balanced, with crispy garlic and shallots adding great texture and aroma. The toppings were fresh and generous—fish balls, fish cake slices, crispy wonton skin—all of which made the dish a delight to eat. The portion size was satisfying without feeling heavy, and the flavors were surprisingly complex for such a simple dish. The staff were friendly and attentive, and when they noticed I was a tourist, they even provided an English menu, which made ordering so much easier. The quick service and nostalgic floral bowl added to the charm of the experience. A gem worth visiting!

Fish balls that taste out of this world. Noodles serve in a pink broth that had that sour sweet taste that tickles the tongue. The clear soup tastes just as good and is perfect for kids.

It's a good place. Pleasant atmosphere. Some dishes are delicious, some are not so good (I did not like the fish soup). The prices are excellent - 60 baht per dish

Magical! Best yen ta fo I have had. Flavour is perfect, not too sweet, a good kick, ahhhh delicious!!! Noodles are a great size. 60 baht. Wantons… man these are good. Stuffed with shrimp. Pair really nicely with the soup. Takes about 10 min to prep the soup. Pretty happening on a Sunday afternoon. Filled with locals. Just delish!

It’s good yentafo noodle soup. It’s more on the sweeter side but it’s good. Especially the quality of their fish ball and mostly their shrimp balls. Shrimp balls are very tasty. You can take it from the front to your table so you can snack on them while waiting if you want and they’ll charge you for them at the end with your bill. It was crowded when I went but not too long of a wait actually. Oh one last thing, I ordered flat wide noodle (sen-yai) but then it seems to look like the thinner noodles so I asked and she said their restaurant serves the flat noodles this way. It tasted better than the flat ones too, chewier!

Very nice yentafo! gem! ate 2 x XLarge bowl per pax. nosltagic original taste. bosses are so cute and friendly.

Saved this place for quite some time. Finally, I had a chance to visit this place this eatery. It is located near Sanyan railway station, a bit of distance but walkable. Reached the place slightly past 9am, place wasn't crowded and there were only a few tables of customers. Menu was pretty straightforward and easy to understand for a foreigner. Ordered the yemtafo and a bowl of fried wanton and shrimp ball. Food didn't take long to arrive. Noodle was not bad, soup tasted a little tangy after mixing with the sauce. Fried wanton and shrimp ball was tasty as well, it goes really well with the tangy chili sauce. Overall, the dinning experience was pretty good. Food was good and the place was clean. In total, paid 120baht for my meal.
