"Thais love discounts on food and when it expires,back to the noodle shops"
We noticed the same thing when we went back shortly after they stopped offering their opening discount.
I wonder how many of these places a city like Udon can keep in business? UD Town has Oishi Big, Oishi Express, Shabushi, and Nikuya. A few weeks ago a friend invited us to Oishi Big for lunch buffet. All you can eat for something like 450 baht...but you have a 2 hour time limit. We did this sort of thing at Nikuya for a dinner party.......we easily ate our money's worth. But for lunch?? My wife and I felt kind of bad for the hosts (who paid) as we're more of a noodle-soup-for-lunch pair than all-you-can-eat-for-lunch.
The food was okay, but nothing I'd go back for....lunch or supper.
