Busy, local and very affordable. Under 100baht for meal and soft drink. Short walk from train station. I had noodles with grilled chicken that came in a broth. It was very good. Definitely recommend this place.

I guess the only restaurant I can find who sells all the meat stuff in Chumpon. BBQ duck and pork. Crispy pork and steamed chicken. Good taste and reasonable price. They sell rice or noodle combination here.
