GIANT Thai Beef Noodles & Braised Goat at Wattana Panich (-)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Wattana Panich (-) is one of the most famous restaurants for Thai beef noodles in Bangkok. A few years ago I made a video about Thai beef noodles, at a little restaurant in the Udom Suk area of Bangkok. The beef noodles there were extremely good, but someone commented saying I needed to try the beef noodles on Ekkamai Soi 18. I put it on my list, but just didnt have the time to go there for a long time. But finally, after a long wait, I finally made my way to the famous Wattana Panich (-) restaurant to taste the beef noodles - and I was excited. I was even more thrilled when we arrived, and I peered into the most beautiful cauldron of slow simmering beef, like a jacuzzi of meat, that greeted me as I entered. Their pan of slow bubbling beef was one of the most amazing food things I had seen in a very long time, and I could hardly wait to order a bowl of beef noodles. But along with beef, Wattana Panich (-) also is famous for their braised goat noodles - so any chance I get to order goat, I cant resist. The kuay teow neua (beef noodles) came out first, and I ordered the special size, meaning it was a little bigger, and with a little more beef than the normal bowl. For the noodles I ordered sen lek, the medium sized rice noodles, and my usual preferred choice when it comes to noodles. The noodles were swimming in that beautiful broth, and then covered in a good spoonful of the amazing tender cubes of beef, and finally garnished with a few sprigs of cilantro (coriander. I tasted the beef noodles first, and the broth was a beautiful concoction of beef braised with a hint of spices like star anise and cinnamon. The beef was so tender and had so much beefy flavor to it. I loved it plain, but it even got better when I added some extra chili flakes and a scoop of vinegar to sour things up. It was one of the best bowls of beef noodles ) Ive had in a long time in Bangkok. And then the goat noodles (kuay teow pae sen lek ) emerged from the kitchen, the goat is cooked behind the scenes, not visible in the front part of the kitchen. It came in a smaller bowl, but the chunks of goat on the top of the bowl were so huge, I could hardly even see the noodles at the bottom. The goat was braised similar to the beef, I think. It was in a similar blend of Chinese spices, but included even more Chinese herbal medicine spices like red goji berries and astragalus root. The broth was much thicker than the beef noodles, so it was more of a stew than a soup, and that was fine by me. The goat meat was unbelievably tender, so soft that it completely melted in my mouth and I barely had to chew. The broth was calm and soothing, and extremely meaty tasting. If you love Thai beef noodles or goat noodles, when youre in Bangkok, you need to make it a mission to visit Wattana Panich (-. Both dishes were amazing and so meaty. I loved it.

How many other particles of flakes, debris, hair, dust, and lord knows what else flying in off the street and landing in that gigantic cauldron of soup. One look at that and I would just keep moving. I'm not trying to be a snob. I just don't like food that are exposed all day long. I'm sure the noodle is tasty but I wouldn't be able to enjoy it knowing that it has just about every crap fall into it.

I went to this place after watching this video, and just like Mark I ordered both the beef and goat noodles. Unfortunately, they weren't (in my opinion) as delicious as Mark made them out to be. Gotta disagree with you on this one, Mark. I was disappointed after the long cab ride and the search for this restaurant to find that the food wasn't that fabulous but were rather overpriced and oily.

I went there first thing when I was in Bangkok. My opinion. Overrated God dam portion they give you is nothing I had to order 2 bowls just to stop my stomach from growling. Maybe they gave you Mark much more just for video promotion purpose Don't get me wrong it was good but I have had way better in Thailand. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go out of their way for this.

Well, they say. That the swimming pool of beef/goat there, they never ever clean it, EVER All the goodness at the bottom of the pool there goes way back like a hundred years or whenever they first opened the business. So that's why it's freaking good.
