พ่อพงษ์ข้าวปุ้นซาวสาขา1(สี่แยกไฟแดงในเมือง)

If you’re eating your way across Isan, mark this spot. Paophong Khaopun Sao’s first branch sits right in town at the Kut Chum intersection on Wareeratchadej Road, and it does exactly what locals crave: fresh, springy khanom jeen (ข้าวปุ้นซาว) with punchy toppings and sides that hit sweet, sour, salty, and spicy in one bite. You’ll hear the papaya mortars thumping as soon as you step in, and the grill smoke from the fish and pork neck tells you you’re in the right place. Start with their signature khaopun sao — thin, delicate noodles that regulars swear by — then build your table out with som tam pla ra, grilled fish, and crispy pork to share. Portions are generous and prices are friendly; expect noodle sets from around 70 THB and simple plates starting near 40 THB. It’s a quick, no-fuss meal, but the flavors linger. It’s an easy stop if you’re passing through Mueang Yasothon — look for the four-way lights and you’re almost there. Drop in for lunch when the energy peaks, or slide in early evening when the pace slows and the grills keep going. Address: 136 Wareeratchadej Rd, Nai Mueang, Mueang Yasothon, Yasothon 35000.
