Why go, and how to do it well
Suki is the reason to come. Thai-style hotpot with broth, noodles, vegetables and meat, cooked quickly and priced so low you can order a second round without thinking about it. There's a run of stir-fries and other street food standards too, but I'd start with what the place is named for.
Don't turn up expecting much in the way of comfort. This is an open-air stand in the Si Phum area with basic seating and a kitchen that works at speed, and the crowd is mostly people who live nearby rather than anyone following a guidebook. That's the appeal. If you want air conditioning and a wine list, this isn't it. If you want a hot, cheap dinner after a long day walking the old city, it's exactly right.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
