Je Tuk Pad Thai & Hoy Tod: The Best 50 Baht Meal in Lat Phrao
Je Tuk Pad Thai Oyster Omelette (เจ๊ตุ๊ก ผัดไทย หอยทอด) is one of those local eateries you wish someone shared the secret to sooner. Tucked away in Lat Phrao (across from Central Ladprao), this stall consistently draws a steady crowd of locals, proving, as my husband commented, it must be good.
I’ve been here twice, and what keeps pulling me back is the simple perfection of the Hoy Tod (Oyster Omelette). This isn’t the wet, sticky version you find everywhere; this is the glorious, crispy kind! The edges are perfectly fried to a golden crisp, offering a texture that elevates this dish far above the competition. If you appreciate texture in your street food, this is the spot.
Unbeatable Value
The pricing here is probably another reason why Je Tuk is a neighborhood favourite:
| Dish | Price (Baht) |
|---|---|
| Regular Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 50 |
| Fresh Shrimp Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 70 |
| Special/ Mixed Seafood Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 80 |
| Fresh Shrimp Special Pad Thai or Hoy Tod | 80 |
It’s refreshing to find such quality at such a fantastic price point. While sitting at the first table, you can hear the cook working through a steady stream of customized orders—no bean sprouts, no vege, no tofu—it’s a testament to truly customized, cooked-to-order street food.
📝 The Verdict on the Pad Thai (Update!)
I finally tried the Pad Thai with my husband!
When ordering, I saw the 50 THB “ธรรมดา” (regular) option on the menu and told my husband to get that for me. He was a bit confused by the 70 THB “กุ้งสด” (fresh shrimp) option, since standard Pad Thai usually includes shrimp. I shrugged it off, assuming the 70 THB version just meant larger prawns.
The stall clarified that the 50 THB regular version includes only noodles and egg—no shrimp. We went with the 70 THB Fresh Shrimp Pad Thai instead, and even asked for one portion without egg, which they accommodated without any fuss.
It turned out to be a fantastic 70 THB dish! The shrimp size was generous (for that price) and well worth the extra 20 THB. I’m usually not a huge Pad Thai fan, but Je Tuk’s version won me over—it’s light and springy, not the heavy, sticky type. It’s definitely a dish I’ll be glad to come back for!
