Lim Lao Ngow — The Legend of Yaowarat Fishball Noodles 

For more than 90 years, Lim Lao Ngow has stayed true to a family legacy — handcrafting egg noodles and “bouncing” fishballs that have become icons of Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown, and now beyond.
We still follow the same principles our ancestors set:
​No shortcuts. No additives. Only quality and flavor that speak for themselves.

Fishballs Made the Right Way

Our fishballs are crafted from fresh, premium sea fish — no flour, no preservatives, and absolutely no fillers.
Through a careful, traditional process, the fish is mixed, shaped, and cooked to achieve the signature texture customers call:

​"Bouncing Fishballs" — tender, springy, and full of natural flavor.

This uncompromising standard is the reason generations of diners continue to choose Lim Lao Ngow.

Egg Noodles With Heart and Heritage

Our classic egg noodles begin with top-grade flour and fresh eggs, mixed and rolled by hand for the perfect bite — aromatic, chewy, and full of character.
But heritage also inspires innovation.
To offer something exceptional, we developed our Signature Egg Noodle, made with:

• Double egg ratio
• Our family’s secret wheat flour blend
• Thin, flat-cut shape

The result is deeper color, richer aroma, and a satisfyingly springy chew — a noodle that stands proudly apart.
This Signature Egg Noodle is available exclusively at our Bistro branches and Chiang Mai.

From Street Tradition to Modern Tables

Over the years, our flavors have earned wide recognition — from Bangkok Chinatown’s first-ranked fishballs to multiple television features.
To meet a new generation of customers seeking quality, flavor and authenticity, we introduced Lim Lao Ngow Bistro — a modern expression of the same culinary DNA.
The menu expands far beyond noodles, including dishes praised on national food programs, such as:

• Tom Klong Salmon — featured on “The Dish” TV
• Yen Ta Fo ranked Top 3 in Thailand (TrueYou)

Michelin Bib Gourmand — Year After Year

Our flagship Yaowarat store has proudly received the Michelin Bib Gourmand award every year since the Bangkok guide began — through 2026.

This honor celebrates what we value most: good ingredients, honest cooking, and flavors that stand the test of time.

From Yaowarat to Chiang Mai

Over nearly a century, Lim Lao Ngow’s story has continued to grow -- from the streets of Yaowarat to our second home in the North.
Our Chiang Mai branch has proudly served locals and travelers alike for over 37 years, bringing the same handcrafted fishballs, signature egg noodles, and time-honored flavors to northern Thailand.
Because wherever we go, every bowl carries the same promise -- the taste that began nearly a century ago, still made with care.

One bite, and the memory travels with you.
