Yokohama Iekei ramen with preferred noodle firmness, oil and salt level
The story behind the bowl
Machida Shoten gives Phuket a clear reference point for Yokohama Iekei: thick noodles, pork-and-chicken tonkotsu-shoyu, spinach and nori in a loud, energetic Japanese shop format. The Patong branch is selected for ramen focus and repeat traveler feedback, not simply because it is a familiar chain.
Before you go: Choose normal seasoning on a first visit; the strongest oil and salt settings can overwhelm the broth. Patong traffic makes walking or a short local ride easier than parking.
