First Impressions
This place? It’s a must. Especially if you’re even slightly into dumplings or noodles. From the outside, you’d probably walk straight past it unless you were looking really hard. It’s got one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it frontages; tiny, unassuming, barely a handful of seats. But when we walked in, it was clearly a favourite for the locals, which is always a good sign.
After our first visit, we were so smitten with the hand-pulled noodle magic and the soup dumplings that we were back just a couple days later. And the owner’s smile when he saw us again? Warm, friendly, and thankfully not annoyed that I may or may not have rinsed their entire chilli oil jar on the first go. (Seriously—it’s so good.)
Table Condiments
Each table had sugar, a mild chilli oil, and a spicier one. Now, I don’t know why sugar is always on the table—it’s not for tea or coffee. I’m convinced people here actually sprinkle sugar into their food. It’s odd… but I suppose the locals just like things sweet. Which is ironic considering before we came it seemed everyone complained that the locals like things too spicy.
As for the chilli oils—yes. Just yes.
The milder one was sweet and spicy, which I loved, but Ashleigh leaned toward the hotter one. Either way, both jars got emptied.
What We Ordered
- Szechuan Dandan Ramen Noodle Soup – 100 THB
- Braised Beef Ramen Noodle Soup – 130 THB
- Xiao Long Bao (Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings) – 120 THB
The Food
The standout? That Braised Beef Noodle Soup. Oh. My. God.
That beef was fall-apart tender in the best way, with a broth that tasted like it had been bubbling away for days—rich, deep, packed with flavour. Easily a 10/10. In fact it felt like one of those forever broths that just keep getting topped up with more flavour, because the depth felt like something you couldn’t achieve at home.
I went for the Szechuan Dandan because, as always, I’m chasing the spice. And it delivered. Not blow-your-head-off spicy, but a solid 8/10.
Then came the dumplings—soft, juicy, and bursting with broth inside. Honestly? Better than the ones we had at that “famous” spot in Chinatown London. There’s just no competing with freshly made food by people who clearly love and are good what they’re doing.
The Vibe
It’s a simple roadside ramen joint. Not polished or pretty—but authentic.
The kind of place that’s got heart. The owners were also friendly, especially the guy pulling the noodles.
Portion & Value
The portions? Massive. You could eat just one dish and be done for the day. That kind of value makes this a no-brainer.
Breakdown
- Szechuan Dandan Ramen: 8/10
- Braised Beef Ramen: 10/10
- Pork Soup Dumplings: 9/10
- Value: 10/10
Final Thoughts
If I lived in Phuket, I’d be here every week. It deserves a spot on the Michelin guide for sure.
Without a doubt, one of the best bowls of noodles on the island—and a definite must-visit.
