We’ve long believed that Thai regional noodles are deeply underrated, and Ubon Udon is finally giving the culture of the hot slurp the recognition it deserves. Located in Yannawa, this restaurant proudly elevates Khao Piak Sen—the signature rice noodles of Isaan. While they share a similar soul with Japanese udon, these noodles offer a unique, translucent chewiness thanks to a precise blend of rice and tapioca flours.

The dedication here is unparalleled; the owners spent over six years perfecting their "craft" noodle recipe before opening their doors. The result is an exceptionally comforting bowl of noodles served in a clean, light broth (available in your choice of pork or chicken). Topped with tender braised pork and authentic Vietnamese pork sausages, it is a bowl that balances rustic heartiness with refined execution.
