Pa Porn Traditional Pork Noodle — Restaurant in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya City Municipality

Horrible experience. It's best described like an animal sty. You enter the shop and you are "herded" 10 meters inside to a table. There's no sign or instructions about this, so you are at the front of the shop, standing to be waited upon, instead, you end up standing too long, and they "shoo" you inside. Once you sit, you cannot change your seat. If the chair/bench is squeaking, it's your bad luck, you cannot move your table. If you are a group of 5 and the table seats 4, you cannot take a chair to sit on either side, "they" will instruct you which side you may sit. Food is ordered via scanning a QR code. But there is no signage or instructions provided on the table you sit at. If you are lucky, there is a paper menu you look at but no paper or pen, or person taking your order. But if you need two menus so your friends on the other end of the table can see too, bad luck, there isn't anyone giving it to you. Thereafter, you end up looking around hopelessly until a table minder comes along and presents the QR code on their phone. If there are a lot of customers, it's your bad luck, as the QR code for ordering can only be taken from their phone, you need to wait for their highness to have time for you. And then there are items on the paper menu that aren't in the menu. It's your bad luck. A warden walks about shouting every few minutes that a certain dessert dish isn't on the (QR code) system, so you must order these separately (but how, no idea), but more that that it's the nuisance of this constant announcement. And if you're a Muslim among your friends, and need a noodle with just fish balls, you're in bad luck as there is no option to order just fish balls, you need to mention in the comments on the page. Which they ignore anyways and bring you pork balls in your noodles. And to top it off, flies and mosquitoes buzzing on every table, one wall fan for every four tables, and none if you're seated in the middle.

Please, you can do better. You deserve better food and service....

Pa Porn Tom Yum Noodle is a local gem recognized by the Michelin Guide. The flavors are authentically Thai, and the prices are very friendly. Their signature bowl comes with red pork and bouncy meatballs, served in a tom yum soup that’s slightly sweet, followed by savory notes, with a mild tang and just a touch of spice.

They also offer tasty side dishes like fried meatballs, fish cakes, steamed dumplings, and Thai-style snacks and souvenirs.

If you go during peak hours, it can get quite busy and the wait may be a bit long. The indoor area can feel quite warm, especially on hot days — so plan your visit...

Noodle is clean but the things on table that we seated are quite dirty. Noodle is super sweet. I ordered Kauy Teaw Mhoo Tomyum Boran (Traditional Tomyum noodle). Its taste would be dessert rather than noodle. Anyway, it would be my mistake, I didn't told her not sweet. This is my first time but I don't feel impressed. We ordered Mhoo stay and Mixed thai dessert in coconut milk (Rommirt) these dishes are tasty even though Mhoo stay is sweet, but it's better...
