If you're at Chatuchak Weekend Market, don’t miss the famous pork ball stall “ชิ้นปั้นสด สาขา สวนจตุจักร.” you can easily spot them as the staff are all wearing yellow and the stall itself is painted yellow all over as well including the sign board.
The moment I walked up, I was drawn in by the sight and smell of these homemade pork balls simmering away in giant vats. The stall was buzzing with activity, and the queue, though long, moved quickly.
The pork balls here are hand-rolled and cooked fresh on-site, ensuring they’re served piping hot.
For just 35 THB, you get seven juicy, perfectly seasoned pork balls, which pair amazingly with their tangy, slightly spicy tamarind dipping sauce.
If you're hungrier, you can get 11 balls for 50 THB, 23 balls for 100 THB, or even buy them by the kilogram—180 THB for around 50-52 balls.
Despite the bustling market, the stall is easy to find, located near one of the main entrances.
The cheerful staff in their bright yellow uniforms work efficiently, ensuring you get your snack without too much wait time. Whether you opt for a small portion or buy by the kilogram, these pork balls are an absolute must-try.
For anyone looking to experience authentic Thai street food in a lively market setting, this stall is a must-visit.
The combination of freshness, flavor, and affordability makes it a highlight of any trip...

Gobbled up the 7-ball serving (35 baht) in a jiffy, and wondered how this stall is not in the Michelin guide already? In any case, they are already famous with consistent queues. Damn, this place just raised the bar for meatballs, and I am afraid I will never taste meatballs the same again. I'm spoilt!!!!
Edit: Back for more meatballs again, as it is only open on Fri-Sun. Other meat variants (e.g., siew mais, dumplings, meat cubes, etc.) cannot seem to hold a candle to these handmade meatballs during the weekdays, while I was craving for them. I declare these meatballs the best...
Read moreTHERE ARE NOT ENOUGH GOOGLE REVIEWS TO JUSTIFY FOR THIS MEATBALL STORE! I bought it twice in a day - that's how good it is!!!! This unassuming spot might have a long queue, but don't let that deter you because it moves pretty quickly. The meatballs are incredibly tender yet chewy, and each one is generously sized. It's really damn worth it for only 35 baht (7 balls)! They offer larger portions, but I’d say it gets a bit too spicy if you go beyond 7 balls at once. I also highly recommend choosing them in both...
