Nine places to eat in Sukhothai, led by the noodle shops the Sukhothai food guides name most, then the restaurants in New Sukhothai and by the historical park in the old city.
Sukhothai is really two towns, New Sukhothai and the old city around the historical park 12 km to the west. The dish to eat is kuay tiao Sukhothai, the town's own noodles, and the two shops the guides send you to, Ta Puy and Jay Hae, are about 100 m apart on the road between them. Poo Restaurant is the traveler favorite in the new town, and Sureerat and Sinvana are the places to eat by the ruins. I've ranked the list by how many of the Sukhothai food guides on Google include each place, then added three old-city restaurants that show up in Google's map results.
The noodle shop the Sukhothai guides name most, on the road between New Sukhothai and the historical park. Order kuay tiao Sukhothai, the town's own noodle dish, with roast pork and the broth on the side. Open from 07:30 to 16:30.
The traveler favorite in New Sukhothai, on Charodvithithong Road near the bridge, with big portions of curries, Thai omelets and vegetarian dishes, and Belgian beer. It's busiest in the evening.
The family-run noodle shop that's always full of locals, about 100 m from Ta Puy. Same dish, different recipe, so try both. Open from 08:00 to 16:00.
An old shophouse full of antiques, with staff in traditional dress, dry and soup Sukhothai noodles, rice with shrimp paste and Thai desserts. Both guides that include it put it at or near the top.
A local Thai restaurant on the main street of Old Sukhothai, by the historical park, and the place the guides send you to eat between the ruins.
A semi-outdoor garden restaurant on the main road by the historical park, with vegetarian options and homemade coconut ice cream, open from 10:00 to 21:00.

A small home-style Thai kitchen in the old city near the historical park, open for breakfast and lunch and closed on Saturdays. No guide covers it, but it shows up in Google's map results in four of the searches I ran.
A Thai restaurant in Ban Kluai, between New Sukhothai and the historical park, open from 10:00 to 20:30. It shows up in Google's map results for Sukhothai restaurants, though no guide includes it.
A café and restaurant in the old city by the historical park, open from 09:30 to 22:30, so it works for dinner as well as coffee before the ruins.
Kuay tiao Sukhothai, the town's own noodles, topped with roast pork and served dry or as a soup. Ta Puy and Jay Hae are the two shops the guides name for it, and Mai Klang Krung serves it in an old shophouse full of antiques.
Sureerat on the old town's main street and Sinvana's garden restaurant on the main road, with Grandma Sert's Kitchen for breakfast and lunch and Phumphor open until 22:30.
No. Ta Puy closes at 16:30 and Jay Hae at 16:00, so go for breakfast or lunch, on the way to or from the ruins.
