For noodle lovers who enjoy local-style food, this is a must-visit spot. Thairath Online takes you to a popular Rayong eatery currently going viral on TikTok: a small, classic shack called "Wood-Fired Noodle by Jay Mee." This place not only offers something unique but also charms customers with its homey style, having served them for almost eight years.
Upon entering, the first thing that catches your eye is the neatly stacked pile of firewood beside the shop. This is the secret behind the fragrant broth, simmered over a traditional wood fire. Besides the broth’s aroma, you’ll be warmly welcomed by Jay Mee, the owner, who cooks the noodles while chatting with customers in the friendly local Rayong dialect, creating a lively and cozy dining atmosphere.
Two standout "signature" dishes that you must order are available here. The menu offers a full range of noodles with choices including pork, beef (fresh or stewed), seafood, tom yum, and yen ta fo. The deliciousness is proven by daily sales of up to 15 kilograms combined of beef and pork.. If you’re visiting Jay Mee’s shop, don’t miss these highlight large bowls:
Extra Cracklings Noodles priced between 80 and 120 baht. Served in a generously sized bowl, its special feature is tom yum broth seasoned with chili paste, fresh chilies, and freshly squeezed lime juice, giving off a fragrant aroma and a perfectly balanced bold taste. Jay Mee confirms that it’s served ready to eat without needing extra seasoning.
Mixed Noodles priced from 120 to 199 baht. For hearty eaters, this bowl is a must-order. Jay Mee fills it to the brim with everything customers want—pork, beef, and seafood—all packed together as if bringing the whole shop into one bowl. It’s available in regular size for 120 baht and special size for 199 baht.
Additionally, the shop offers made-to-order dishes. If you want a refreshing drink afterward, there’s a café called "Good Day" run by Jay Mee’s daughter, Ae, serving coffee and cool beverages—making it a complete and satisfying dining experience in one place.
The Wood-Fired Noodle by Jay Mee is located near Nong Saphan Temple alley, Nong Taphan subdistrict, Ban Khai district, Rayong province. The shop is open from 10:00 to 15:00 and closed every Monday.
