Chiokee Ubon
Chiokee Ubon is a well-regarded budget eatery situated on Khuanthani Road in the heart of Ubon Ratchathani, drawing a steady stream of locals who rely on it for their morning and midday meals. Its consistent popularity and solid reputation reflect a straightforward, no-frills approach to everyday Thai food at accessible prices, making it a reliable option for travellers who want to eat as the locals do without straining their budget. Visitors can expect a casual, unpretentious atmosphere typical of a neighbourhood dining spot rather than a formal restaurant setting. The focus here is on honest, satisfying food served quickly — the kind of place where regulars know what they want before they sit down. The early hours and morning-centred menu suggest a strong breakfast and brunch offering, likely featuring rice dishes, noodle soups, or other traditional Thai morning staples common to the region. Good to know: Chiokee Ubon opens at 06:00 every day of the week and closes at 14:00, so this is strictly a morning to early-afternoon destination — arriving before the midday rush is advisable to secure a seat and get the full selection of dishes. There is no website listed, so walk-ins are the way to go. The location on Khuanthani Road is reasonably central, making it a practical stop before a day of exploring the city.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
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.
