Located within the UD Town shopping complex on Thongyai Road, this food centre serves as a go-to dining destination for locals and visitors alike in Udon Thani. Offering a broad selection of affordable Thai dishes under one roof, it draws a steady crowd throughout the day and well into the evening, making it one of the more reliable spots in the city for a casual, satisfying meal without stretching the budget.
Visitors can expect a typical Thai food court setup, with multiple stalls serving a range of dishes spanning regional Thai cuisine, noodles, grilled meats, and snacks. The atmosphere is lively and informal, reflecting the everyday dining culture of the city. Being situated inside a shopping mall adds convenience, as guests can combine a meal with shopping or use the air-conditioned environment as a welcome break from the heat outside.
A practical note for visitors: the food centre opens daily at 10:30 and stays open until midnight, which makes it a useful option for both lunch and late-evening dining. Arriving during off-peak hours, such as mid-afternoon, tends to mean shorter queues at popular stalls. Payment is typically cash-based at food court stalls, so it is worth carrying small bills. No booking is required or possible, given the walk-in, self-service format.

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.
