About Pe Aor Tom Yum Kung Noodle

Tucked down a quiet Ratchathewi soi, this alley spot turns out deeply satisfying bowls of tom yum nam khon laced with shrimp fat. Noodle regulars plot trips across Bangkok for this broth—a balanced strike of lime, chili, and rich seafood extraction. Pick your starch, whether springy egg noodles or rice noodles, then size up your catch: single river prawns or the multi-person Lobster and The Gang platter loaded with squid and mussels. Purists can pivot to a lighter, clear tom yum broth, while sides like crispy prawn rolls, savory pork wontons, and prawn omelettes over rice round out the spread. The dining room runs cool with blasting air conditioning, and staff promptly drop plastic gloves at your table the moment whole shellfish lands. Wash down the heat with cold fresh coconut.

  • Rich Tom Yum Broths: Bowls feature a rich, creamy shrimp-fat base or a clear broth, balancing sour, spicy, and savory notes.
  • Fresh Shellfish Bowls: Prawns and multi-person lobster platters come served with plastic gloves to easily peel whole shells.
  • Custom Noodles & Sides: Diners choose noodles such as egg or rice noodles alongside sides like pork wontons and prawn omelettes.

    The dining area provides air conditioning and fans, giving guests relief from Bangkok's heat while they tackle steaming, spicy bowls of soup.

    The restaurant itself is air-conditioned, which made dining much more comfortable.

  • Tactile Peeling Amenities

    Staff supply plastic gloves so diners can peel whole river prawns effortlessly and blend the rich head fat directly into the tom yum broth.

    When I was struggling with the prawn, a waiting staff just came and gave me the plastic gloves without me even asking.

  • Tom Yum with wontons

    I highly recommend ordering the Tom Yum with wontons. Their wontons were the best part of my meal when we were here. They were really good, they're soft, bouncy with thin wrapper, and very savory.

  • Seafood and Shrimp Fat Tom Yum with yellow noodles

    I got the one with Seafood and Shrimp Fat, with yellow noodles. I was very surprised at how creamy the broth was, and the River Prawn tasted great in it.

  • Clear tom yum

    I also tried their clear tom yum version, which was lighter but still full of flavor and equally delicious.

Practical guidance for navigating seating, custom noodle bowls, and dining amenities at Pe Aor

  • Arrive during off-peak hours for smaller groups

    Seating inside the alleyway shop is compact with relatively small tables best suited for solo diners or parties of 2 to 4. Visit during off-peak hours like mid-afternoon to avoid crowded periods and secure a table immediately without waiting.

  • Personalize your noodle base and portion size

    Customize your soup bowl by choosing both your protein and preferred noodle type, such as egg noodles, rice noodles, or instant noodles. If you arrive with a companion or group, consider sharing the signature oversized lobster bowl.

  • Use peeling gloves and adjust seasoning at the table

    Take advantage of provided plastic gloves to easily peel the whole prawns and extract the head fat into your broth. You can also tailor the rich soup to your personal palate using provided table condiments and lime juice.
