Jok Prince

One of the Best Bowls of Jok in Bangkok — Truly Exceptional Jok Prince absolutely lived up to its reputation. The porridge here is on another level — smooth, comforting, and packed with that signature smoky flavor they’re known for. It’s simple food done with real mastery, and easily one of the best bowls of jok I’ve ever had. The place has that classic Bangkok street‑food charm, and you can tell why so many people recommend it. The flavors are deep, the texture is perfect, and the whole experience feels authentic in the best way. If you’re in Bangkok and want to try a truly standout porridge, Jok Prince is a must‑visit. I’d happily come back for another bowl.

My first experience eating congee in Thailand and I loved every moment. The pork meatballs were fatty and soft, while the congee itself was light yet deeply comforting. There was an initially surprising smoky note on the nose, but it disappeared once everything was mixed together. Adding the century egg brought an extra layer of texture and a subtle, savoury saltiness that worked beautifully. Simple, comforting food done very well.

Silky smooth congee, it has a tinge of smokiness which adds to the overall umami of the pork and egg. We got the one with all the ‘nutritious organs’ - fresh and well cooked. Ratio of porridge to condiments were good too. The patango was the unsung hero - perfectly fried and most importantly not greasy at all! You have to pair it with the cover. Menu is simple and straightforward - so not much communication is needed. Just point at the combo u want and take a seat!

Whether you like this porridge is very subjective. It has a distinctive burnt smell - something like the charred smell in claypot rice but much stronger. When I ate it a few years ago the taste was quite bland and you had to add fish sauce at the table to suit your own taste preference. But now the porridge is served with the fish sauce added during cooking and the saltiness already locked in. Great pork balls and internal organs. I would have preferred the century egg to be cooked with the porridge from the start rather than adding it just before serving.

One of the best porridge i had! Came here twice and never a let down. Their porridge has got a special wok hey smell and the pork meat is fresh. My friend who is very conscious with pork smell says this porridge has no porky smell. They alsl serve fried dough which is crispy and tasty! Must order! Will be here everytime i visit bangkok!

Prince Jok is one of the top street‑food spots known for its consistent, delicious flavor, earning Michelin recognition for many consecutive years. Its highlights include silky rice porridge with a fragrant rice aroma, freshly made chunky pork balls, and customizable toppings. Still, the dishes most people come for are the pork congee with soft‑boiled egg or the pork congee with century egg.

I do have a love and hate relationship with this place. I have been here a number of times and everytime the waiting time just gets longer and longer. Visited on a weekend morning waited about 40 minutes to get a table. My usual is to always order item number 10 which is everything in the porridge. I am particularly not a fan of the porridge because I don't really like the burnt taste in the porridge. It's something so unique I don't get it anywhere but here. However the thing that always makes me go back has to be the meatball. They really make very good meatballs and are so big its just so satisfying eating them. I always call them the fist sized balls, not that big but might just get there one day. They do sell the Thai cute patongo which is the mini fritters but its quite expensive. You can actually get it cheaper by the stall outside the shop and also they give a sweet dip where you can add to the porridge extra texture and flavours and also have it like a dessert with the coconut dip. I recommend giving it a try but I have friends who are also kinda having a dislike for the burnt taste. I seriously don't know maybe it's the X factor which is giving it the Michelin status it is today.

There's A Very Strong Burnt Smell When We Visited e Stall, Turns Out To Be e Burnt Porridge Smell... I Wonder Is It Thailand's "Wok Hey" As I Tasted e Similar Smell Along Yaowarat When Searching For Nice Pork Noodles!! I Personally Do Not Like e Taste As It Covers e Whole Of Everything In e Bowl. And e Smell Lingers Around In e Mouth For Awhile... 😅😅😅
