Soi Food Series: Ditch the cliche Yaowarat and get yourself to Soi Yotse
By Watsamon Tri-yasakda

SOI FOOD — “Where should we go for dinner?” can be a pretty divisive moment for a group. If you’re craving street food, you’ve already had to say goodbye to Soi 38 and the main drag of Yaowarat can be a bit cliche. To add somewhere new to the map, try Chinatown’s Soi Yotse.

Only a couple of bus stops or a short cab ride from BTS National Stadium, Yotse sits near Hua Chiew Hospital and has been long been a popular soi for getting your belly bulging cheaply. The popularity of Soi Yotse was established by its two famous sukiyaki restaurants, Maverick Suki and Elvis Suki, and the stakes were only heightened by the addition of the Ice-cream moh fai (ice-cream served in hot pot) that’s gained popularity in these streetside restaurants over the last few years.

For a half-decade, food vendors have been making on-point dinner and dessert for local Yotse-ans and Bangkokians from all over the city. Most of them are third or fourth-generation vendors in the area, whose yummy — and top-secret — recipes have been passed on by their parents and grandparents.
