Taipei’s East District Yongji Street is teeming with dining options, where you can find Japanese, Korean, and local hot pot restaurants. Here, you’ll never be at a loss for great places to eat. Located in Lane 131 of Yongji Street, Nooddi Thai Noodle Specialty Shop features a main color scheme of orange-red and a simple yet cozy interior design. Unlike typical Thai restaurants that serve large, shared meals with numerous dishes, Nooddi offers a more streamlined approach—combining authentic Thai noodles with a few delicious small Thai dishes as part of set meal combinations. At attractive prices, even solo diners can enjoy a rich variety of Thai flavors.

The owner of Nooddi previously traveled to Thailand to learn how to make traditional broths, which is why the seemingly simple noodle soups here are exceptionally rich and uniquely flavorful. The owner particularly recommends the Spicy and Sour Peanut Soup, which is essentially the Thai version of Tom Yum Goong. Its layered flavors make it truly delicious. For those who don’t prefer too much spice but still love the taste of Tom Yum, there’s also the Creamy Spicy and Sour Peanut Soup series, which has a richer and smoother texture compared to the original. The pork slices in the soup are tender and not dry, while the Thai fish balls are small, bouncy, and full of flavor. If you’ve been to Thailand, you’ve probably missed the taste of Thai MAMA noodles. Try their Dry Spicy and Sour Seafood Thai MAMA Noodles—bold in flavor, and served with fresh shrimp and squid for a truly satisfying bite.
