Michelin-Recommended Beef Horfun And Thai-Style Wanton Noodles, Near Victory Monument.

Chakki, on Rang Nam Road in Bangkok’s Chinatown, is renowned for its thick gravy sauce – a salty and sweet concoction – on its lad na (deep-fried noodles). Slick beef or pork slices can be added, along with a helping of vegetables and, if you like, a side of crispy fried wontons. The same family has run Cantonese Chakki for 30 years, and they’re so confident in their perfected dishes that they don’t refer to recipes or offer a menu.

Jakkee Restaurant ภัตตาคารจ๊ากกี่, also written as “Chakki” is located at Ratchawithi Soi 7, a 15 minutes’ walk from Victory Monument BTS station.

The shop used to be from Chinatown, and has been at this location for more than 30 years.

Therefore, it is not surprising to find the slightly older generation dining here, reading their newspapers or elderly couples reminiscing their good-old days.

It looked like the typical Chinese-Cantonese eatery in Bangkok, though you would notice it is unusually crowded even before lunch time.

For tourists, do not worry as there is an English menu, and one English-speaking member of the family (though she is always running around).

I know the food is considered pricier than the average and service is brisk, but the quality of the ingredients used, and oh that sauce, and the history of Chakki makes it quite a worthy to visit place for “Rad-Nha” lovers.
