Yui Kee Bamee Ratchawithee

A multi-generational restaurant, Yui Kee has been feeding hungry diners in the vicinity of Vajira Hospital since 1955 (just don’t let the ground open up below you). The noodles are thin and delicate, enriched with plenty of duck egg. The wontons are tiny and thinly wrapped, making for a feather-light banmee gieao experience. But the seasoning is what keeps us coming back – the roast pork isn’t the industrial, red-dyed mess that gets passed off at lesser venues, but a meaty, spice-fragrant Cantonese char siu that makes a perfect contrast, especially in a banmee haeng context – man, that sauce is good on top. Sweet but not cloying, with plenty of star anise and liquorice root. Pile high with the proteins of your choice.
