Nai Ek Roll Noodle

Nai Ek Roll Noodles is Yaowarat boiled down to one dependable bowl. By 1989 it was already running from Soi Yaowarat 9, turning out guay jub with the same hard-working rhythm: queues moving, orders firing, bowls arriving hot and identical. The broth is the signature - clear, pork-led, driven by white pepper so the aroma hits before the spoon does. Rolled rice noodles come thicker and longer than usual, built for chew, holding the soup inside each fold. Then the pork line-up completes the grammar: minced and sliced pork for softness, offal kept clean and focused, and crisp moo krob dropped in for crackle against the pepper warmth. Around it, the menu is Thai-Chinese comfort in side dishes: glossy rib chunks in soy-oyster gravy, and khaa moo palo, trotters braised soy-dark with star anise and cinnamon until skin turns to gel, lifted by preserved greens.

Nak Ek's roll noodles are a must-try! The broth is peppery and flavorful, and the noodles have that perfect chewy texture. I especially enjoyed the pork option – the meat was tender and delicious. Service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Just a heads up: I wasn't a big fan of the mixed vegetables, so I'd recommend sticking to the noodle dishes. Overall, a solid choice for a tasty dinner!

This restaurant opens early and close late. The service is quick and doesn’t require to speak Thai to order. The food quality is above standard and the pricing is very affordable. It is my going place in Bangkok whenever I am hungry. I had pork entail, the black chicken and spareribs herb soup. All the soups are flavorful and the meats are tender. They take credit cards and cash. They have a bathroom at the back and you have to bring your own tissues.

Small queue when we reached on Tuesday evening. Ordered 2 of the recommended organ soup, pig trotter rice and crispy roasted pork. Soup is slightly peppery and the ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Crispy pork was very good regretted we should have ordered more. Pig trotter rice was decent. Must eat when in Chinatown👍

A standout bowl that clearly shows why Nai Ek Roll Noodle remains a Bangkok classic. The soup is very brothy and intensely peppery, yet clean and comforting, with depth that builds as you sip. It’s the kind of broth that feels light but full of character. The rolled noodles are cooked to perfection-smooth, springy, and satisfyingly chewy-while the meat is surprisingly tender, well-prepared, and easy to enjoy with every bite. Portions are generous, ingredients feel fresh, and the balance of flavors is excellent. Simple, honest cooking executed at a high level. A must-visit and highly recommended.

The original Yaowarat rice noodle roll ! The soup is perfect with lots and lots of pepper ...and feel like what I had when I was a child. Crispy pork belly is also great. Pork stomach is cooked to perfection without bad smell and chewy to the right level! Recommend to have to rice noodle roll and an extra plate of crispy pork belly. The queueing system is perfect. You join the line while study the menu and decide on what to have, order them, get the slip. Then when the table is available, you just give the waiter the slip and pay for your ordered food... then wait and enjoy your dishes!

I was able to satisfy my craving for stewed duck blood at this establishment. I ordered the pig innards and duck blood soup, which reminded me of Singapore's peppery bak kut teh soup due to its strong peppery flavor. My only minor disappointment was with the stewed pork leg. The pork skin did not appear to have been prepared properly, as there were several hairs remaining on it. While the taste was excellent, the presence of the hair detracted from the overall enjoyment of the dish.

Tried their signature Roll noodle soup. Personally I'm not really into roll noodle and prefer common noodle or rice. But trust me, this is yummy. You can choose whether which parts do you want in your bowl. For medium size, the portion comes with generous parts. The meat, stomach and tongue are clean and tender without any disturbing aroma at all. And the highlight is their crispy pork with crunchy skin and juicy fat layer. Don't skip their pork spareribs with Cavilla fruits soup (or should I call it bitter gourd?) The broth is so fresh, full of flavour, delicious. Service is fast and tidy. The dining area is always full especially at lunch time but you can always get your seat. Recommended.
