Drunken Noodles: A Bold Thai Classic, Reimagined with Flavor and Heart

At Bangkok Cafe, we proudly serve authentic Thai comfort food — bold, vibrant, and full of life.

One of our most loved dishes? Drunken Noodles — or as we call it in Thai, "Pad Kee Mao."

You might wonder: why are they called Drunken Noodles?

Here’s the delicious story.

Why "Drunken" Noodles?

Despite the name, there’s no alcohol in the dish! 🚫🍷Legend has it that these noodles were created to satisfy fiery cravings after a night out — something bold, spicy, and comforting enough to "wake you up" after a few drinks.

Today, Drunken Noodles are celebrated for their lively heat, fresh basil aroma, and savory sauce that brings every bite to life.

What’s in Our Drunken Noodles?

At Bangkok Cafe, we stay true to the spirit of Pad Kee Mao while adding thoughtful touches to make your meal even more satisfying.

We stir-fry fresh flat rice noodles with a vibrant mix of bell peppers, basil leaves, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, onions, and baby corn, all tossed together in our savory brown sauce.

Each plate is finished with your choice of protein: chicken, pork, beef, shrimp 🍤, seafood, or tofu.

Our version stays true to the original flavor profile — bold, aromatic, and spicy — while thoughtfully adding a colorful variety of vegetables to create a balanced and wholesome meal.

Why We Add More Vegetables

Traditional Drunken Noodles focus heavily on basil and chilies.

At Bangkok Cafe, we expand the variety with bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and baby corn to enhance the dish’s natural sweetness, texture, and overall heartiness.

This approach makes each bite more exciting while bringing more nutrients and balance to the plate — perfect for both traditionalists and those seeking a fulfilling, well-rounded meal.
