Ba Mee Jub Kang (บะหมี่จับกัง) serves big portions of Thai egg noodles. Here’s how you can eat here: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2014/03/ba-mee-jub-kang-thai-egg-noodles/
Located on the outskirts of Bangkok Chinatown, Ba Mee Jub Kang (บะหมี่จับกัง) is a well-known Street install that serves yellow egg noodles known in Thai as ba mee. The restaurant actually used to have no name, it was just the roadside vendor, who sold big portions of noodles to hungry passerby’s, especially workers in the area – like construction workers and other laborers. So the name Ba Mee Jub Kang (บะหมี่จับกัง) in Thai, actually means laborers noodles.
I’m going to be honest and say that it’s not the cleanest street food stall in Bangkok, and nor do they serve the best tasting street food in Bangkok, but Ba Mee Jub Kang (บะหมี่จับกัง) sure does have some serious old-skool character to it. As I mentioned, the restaurant is located just of Charoen Krung road in Bangkok, right in the busy area of Chinatown. As I filmed this video, they were doing construction on Charoen Krung, extending the MRT, so it can be a little trick to find the soi (so just make sure you check out the full article to see directions if you want to go there).
When you walk down the dark grungy lane, you’ll see the restaurant on the right hand side. They still do most of their cooking with charcoal, so you can smell the smoke from the cooking. Around lunch time the vendors will begin to prepare bowls of yellow Thai egg noodles in big portions. They cook quite a mound at a time, pulling up and separating the noodles as they cook. The noodles are divvied out into individual bowls and then topped with a few pieces of slices pork and a handful of steamed veggies.
There are very few menu choices at Ba Mee Jub Kang (บะหมี่จับกัง), and actually there’s not even a menu, there are just a few choices written on the wall. The basic choice you have is yellow egg noodles with pork served either dry, or with soup. Ying and I got one of each, and they really are the same dish, just one with soup and one without. It’s a matter of your personal preference.
The ba mee nam (บะหมี่น้ำ egg noodles in soup) was pretty good, the noodles were nice and soft but not overcooked, and the pork was sweet and tender. The ba mee haeng (บะหมี่แห้ง egg noodles dry) was also good, and seasoned up nicely with chili flakes and vinegar. Overall, they weren’t the best Thai egg noodles I’ve ever had, but it’s the serious street food atmosphere which made this place so interesting.

White bowl with Red headed Rooster…Pride of South East Asia
Those greens are kale.
Damn, that looks tasty!
Hi Mark. Would you try Gaggan to see how it is. Thanks.
This shop has been open for more than twenty years.
Wow! That bowl of noodles is cheap in my country it will cost you around 5dollars.
Went here in Feb of this year. Loved it!! Thanks for the recommendation. Only wish Thai restaurants in my country or elsewhere outside of Thailand would start serving this simple but delicious dish!!
oh man I haven't even started watching and I know this is gonna be deeelish
Hey Mark, are these guys still serving the noodles here? thak you!
Makes me hungry ?
given the ptices of food, transportation it seems fairly low-cost to live in Thailand. Rent? My sister & husband rented a beautiful , hardwood cottage in a resort area for about $40/day a few years ago.
like it salty….not sweet
great video mark food looks so good !!
pork broth?
I wish more people would see this. The people who claim Mark is a shill and only reports nice things.
I miss Thaland?????????
Wonderful you got your jerky motions under control and more professional you don't look like a drug addict now thank you very much
Love your videos! Would love to get your email and get some advice about food while traveling. My boyfriend and I are hopefully going to Thailand next year!
Hi Mark! All of your youtube videos that you have posted from around the world really make my mouth water and salivate like crazy and also makes me feel a bit hungry. All the foods that you eat throughout your trips and journeys makes me a little bit envious and really want to go out to any Asian or Latino restaurants that I can find the closest to my home. I really enjoy watching your videos and you showing me all the tasty, authentic and exotic foods and dishes that you introduce and display to all of your viewers and subscribers. I just wanna say that you are an extremely unique and cool traveler to me. Thanks, man!!!
I almost didn't recognize you with all the hair….. great video, Mark.
You say restaurant in the alley is not clean, but you don't say why. Why?
Spicy man !!! Lol
Orgasmic face
This has to be the very best Ba Mee there is. My favorite noodles in the World. This is the only way to eat Ba Mee, one dry and one straight up.
Hi Mark. I am a fan of your video blogs. Great blog on the noodles. I know Thailand is famous for street food. But maybe you can mix it up with fancier Thai restaurants in Bangkok for comparison.
Hi mark where can I get the t-shirt you wearing in this video ?
$1.08!!!!! Really!!! That's how much a nasty styrofoam cup of ramen noodles is!!! I'm sure it taste better too!
looks amazing
35 THB now??? Once I have it just 20 THB …lol … Yeahh it's was many years back
U have funny facials lol
The noodles look, amazing. want to try them
I'm so hungry right now and watching these videos isn't helping!
Will pick this up for my eat list. Wow, I wonder if my stomach can handle so much food when I go there. Your recommendations are usually awesome and worth to try. I love Yaowarat, I remember eating a bowl of kuay chap somewhere in the middle of the market. Not a great place hence there was so many motorbike crossing behind my back, not to mention the fuit seller and their cart. But the food was glorious!
i wonder how come you r so thin if you eat so much! wen you gobble your food and make that face, the nerves on your throat almost protrudes out, its scary man! Put on some weight.
glad to see a little of Ying!
ทานรสจัดมากค่ะ 55
Have you ever given a bad review!?
Since the price for the bowl of noodles is so low, wouldn't you think the quality of the meat isn't that great? Or that you could get food poisoning from the uncleanness?
