The menu centres on the signature Pathumthani chicken noodle, a compact bowl of rice noodles in a fragrant, slightly sweet broth topped with sliced chicken, served by the pair for a satisfying combination of flavours and textures. Other noodle options include the spicy Tom Yum noodle and the richer beef variant. Beyond noodles, the menu offers Thai fried rice, green curry chicken, som tam, and mango sticky rice.

The chain is well known for its festive promotions, including an annual Boat Noodle Day offering bowls at RM1.90 and student result celebrations with free bowls for high achievers.
