Throughout its 60+ years of operations, Wattana Panich Restaurant has become synonymous to this mouthwatering phrase: Thai beef noodles.
There are only two main dishes at Wattana Panich: beef stew and goat stew. Both of these dishes are boiled for extremely long periods of time, resulting in exceptionally tender meat and thick brown soup. A slurp of the soup will offer you distinct flavors of star anise and cinnamon.
Each dish can be ordered with your choice of noodles: sen yai (flat), sen lek (medium sized) or sen mee (hair-thin), or if extra hungry, with a side of steamed rice. For good measure, order their refreshing coconut ice cream for dessert – always a smart decision.
