This Thai noodle specialty restaurant has now three outlets, in Wanchai, Central and Sheung Wan. It is a popular place for both locals and tourists, and today we come to their branch in Wanchai, located beside the famous Blue House in Stone Nullah Lane, slightly before their opening time at 6pm, and already see a small queue waiting, with most of them being Chinese tourists.Soon we are seated inside, and the décor recreates an old Thai diner, with raw concrete walls, some dated movie posters and stickers. The iron sliding gate at the entrance has a familiar historic vibe, along with Tessera floors, plus having some plants hanging from the ceiling. In no time the restaurant is fully occupied, with another queue starting to form outside.After ordering a Pineapple & Ginger Slushies ($68) and Fresh Thai Lime Soda ($46), we start with Spicy Chopped Pork & Thai Herb Salad ($138). With plenty of lettuce on the side, the chopped pork is seasoned with fresh herbs. While only moderately spicy on its own, it can become quite hot by adding Nam Jim Gai sauce, which also made the salad much more appealing in taste. A nice salad for those who like spiciness, but probably not the choice if cannot take the heat.Each of us order our own boat noodle, with me going for Samsen Wagyu Beef Boat Noodle Soup ($158), while my wife has the Samsen Pork Boat Noodle Soup ($158). The soup is really delicious, intense in flavours and can immediately tell the effort and time needed to prepare. Apart from the slices of beef, there are also beef brisket and meatball, and the brisket is the star among them, very tender and full of flavours. Together there are also some crispy pork rinds which are very good soaking up the soup. Another highlight for me is the thin rice noodles, silky and perfect combination with the soup and beef. Along with Thai watercress, the taste is truly authentic and reminds me of the best boat noodles. I did not try the pork boat noodle but it is equally good too in my wife’s opinion.For dessert, we have Thai Mango & Sticky Rice ($98). Again, true to the traditional style, the chef has scattered some green beans on top to bring in extra layer of texture. The mango slices are delicious and juicy, with the sticky rice glutinous and perfect with the coconut cream, sweet but not excessive. Another recommendation.Service is good, while the place is packed and not exactly comfortable, the staff are friendly and try their best to help and assist. The bill on the night is $783. While it is not cheap, here one can truly bring back memories of your visit to Thailand and the amazing boat noodles you have tried there. If not traveling soon, a good place to quench the thirst with its wonderful broth.

哩間嘢以前帶過個泰國客食。佢話改良咗🤔🤔未食過咁嘅風味有D意思。今次輪到friend請我食😋。🍚 和肉炒飯如果係合餐，幾個人分食就係夠食嘅。牛味仲有淡淡嘅煎炒香，夠嗮味。🍜 和牛濃湯麵睇落去就係幾好食，湯底偏鹹，不過牛味夠濃，鮮正惹味。食唔慣鹹口嘅食客應該唔中意哩種鹹香味。🍝 虎蝦炒麵炒得好香，同樣係鹹香風味。確實係改良泰國餐。👍但又保留咗泰式酸甜味，清爽同鹹又幾夾下。值得試吓，口味調教得有特色，唔係話齋泰味。

好貴好咸，真係好咸嘅船麵😅究竟係大家無味覺，定咁岩我果碗出事…….一路食一路懷疑點解成日咁多人排隊，大家平時食開咩？$158/船麵，無套餐無包野飲，飲品要再額外加$28$158再要+1服務費盛惠$174😂長期勁多人排隊諗住好好食啦，見早左放飯無乜人排就衝左入去，點知勁失望食完個嘴唇keep住勁痛係咪太多味精？然後lunch完去聽講座，一路勁暈朋友話我應該係中暑⋯ 懷疑係太鹹加天氣太熱😅btw個粉係幾滑幾好食，但湯係濃但鹹到我嘴唇勁痛，我已經唔係嗌辣，亦無加到枱面辣椒油

平時每次行過都排長龍，今日準時收工即刻衝去，6:30去到唔使排隊，終於食到、個和牛船麵真係無得頂, 湯底夠濃夠香, 和牛好冧, 最驚喜係幾件牛腩超得，加埋幾粒有香濃牛味嘅牛丸，餸多過粉，啲粉索晒湯超好味！$158一碗唔係平但我覺得值！湯底有少少辣, 不能吃辣者唔駛再加辣椒都已經夠, 如果再多番少少河粉就更加滿足了。配上西瓜沙冰簡直係三十幾度下的絕配，沙冰沒有加糖水、仲附上一片西瓜，飲完再食埋生果，230蚊左右落古樓，真心係滿足嘅一餐👍🏼

名氣人龍店，計準時間嚟排隊係整個體驗嘅關鍵。 嚟遲左隨時要等多輪先至入到座。招牌和牛船麵係必食推介。 湯底超級濃郁，完美結合咗泰式船麵湯底既風味同濃濃既嘅牛味。 每次都想飲曬所有嘅湯。 麵質彈牙，入面嘅和牛同配料亦都豐富。炒金邊粉，作為所有泰國餐廳嘅必備之選，亦都做出水準。 金邊粉熱辣辣炒得好香，稍稍偏甜味，蝦唔算好多，但都幾大隻同有彈性。 雖然唔係特別喜好偏甜嘅炒粉，但以質素而論都係高水平之作。甜品嘅椰子雪糕都係推介。 雪糕、椰子、粟米、花生等估唔到地非常之夾。 喺食完咁濃味嘅船麵之後，完美咁做一個清新嘅結尾。
