338 Thanon Ekkamai, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand

"Wattana Panich restaurant is one of the best local food restaurants in Bangkok with typical Thai style. The restaurant located on Ekkamai Road is easy to recognize thanks to a giant stew pan right at the entrance. The pan boils all day long with large chunks of beef submerged in rich gravy, the sweet aroma that makes anyone passing by must pay attention."

Coming to Wattana Panich, you will enjoy a bowl of beef noodles with a history of over 40 years. This is perhaps the oldest beef soup in the Thai capital Bangkok, which has been served to countless guests by Wattana Panich restaurant through three generations of traditional family business. Although new eateries sprang up everywhere around, the restaurant has always managed to maintain its position, holding on to the characteristics of a dish with a long history.

The current owner of the restaurant is Nattapong Kaweenuntawong, a Thai of Chinese descent, the 40-year-old man works every day, making bowl after bowl with his family's legacy. Various cuts of beef are cooked to perfection, while star anise, cinnamon, black pepper, garlic, and nearly ten aromatic Chinese herbs and spices are soaked in a rich soup. This rich soup is served with noodles, garlic oil, and fresh celery. There are many types of noodles, you can choose according to your preferences.

Each bowl of noodles is a work of culinary art that Nattapong has taken decades to master. He started tasting his family's soup at an early age and under the expert guidance of his father, he learned how to maintain its perfection. This is considered a culinary heritage because it has been around for decades, first created by Nattapong's grandfather when he opened a small restaurant near the Chao Phraya River nearly 60 years ago. The stall was then moved to another location before transforming into a two-story establishment in Ekamai, central Bangkok, where the soup had been simmering since before Nattapong was born.

Today, the restaurant's reputation has spread far and wide. Besides the loyal Thai customers, the restaurant also attracts foreign guests from all over the world to enjoy.

Opening hours: The restaurant is open every day of the week from 09:30 - 20:00

This unique beef noodle dish costs from 80 baht for a regular bowl or 100 baht for a large bowl. In addition, if there is a need, you can also order more goat meat from 200 baht.
