The story
Naeng Loet Yam is a 40-year-old noodle shop in Nonthaburi that feels worlds away from Bangkok’s tourist trail. Tucked away on Pracharat 26, this casual, family-friendly spot has earned a loyal local following for its deeply savory broths and fall-apart meats. With a 4.3 rating on ReTubeIt, it’s clearly a neighborhood staple worth the trip.
The showstopper here is the Soy Braised Pork Rib Soup. Travel vlogger Gary Butler of The Roaming Cook calls the ribs “the softest I’ve had in Thailand,” and he doesn’t mince words—declaring the place “an absolute must-visit.” The Soy Braised Beef Soup, equally rich and satisfying, rounds out a menu that proves slow-simmered perfection needs no flourishes.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
“The beef is on another level — super beefy, a little sweet but more like a bone sweetness, like Bovril. Deep and savory. The tendon melts in your mouth, but the actual beef has a little chew to it. I prefer the pork overall, but this is delicious too.”

A FULL DAY EATING THE BEST THAI FOOD in NONTHABURI 🇹🇭 (1 hour from Bangkok) · @ 1:06
A super local, 40-year-old Thai restaurant serving incredible soy-braised pork ribs and beef soup — the pork ribs are the softest I've had in Thailand, an absolute must-visit in Nonthaburi.

Soy Braised Pork Rib Soup
This is the softest piece of pork I've had in Thailand. The rib just falls off the bone with zero resistance — the cartilage has no chew either. The broth is a classic clean Thai broth, a little sweet but not crazy, with loads of garlic oil, Chinese celery, and bean sprouts. I add some vinegar and roasted chili to balance the sweetness. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten. I'd come here just for the ribs from Bangkok, no problem.
Soy Braised Beef Soup
The beef is on another level — super beefy, a little sweet but more like a bone sweetness, like Bovril. Deep and savory. The tendon melts in your mouth, but the actual beef has a little chew to it. I prefer the pork overall, but this is delicious too.
