It’s Good Kitchen

Even for a local, the flavors here are incredibly authentic. The standout for me was the Tom Kha soup they actually include tender coconut meat, which added an amazing texture and freshness I didn’t know I was missing. It’s easily my favorite dish so far. If you want Thai food done right, don’t skip this place! 🥥🔥

This wasn’t originally on my Chiang Mai food list, but we walked past it on the way to Wat Phra Singh and noticed a long queue with the place completely packed. We decided to return later in the afternoon around 3:30–4 pm (after a massage next door) and got a table immediately—though the restaurant was still full. Honestly, it turned out to be one of the best meals of the trip and easily the best value for money. We ordered the papaya salad, chicken cashew nut, pad see ew, and Penang curry—everything was flavorful and hit the right notes. All of that, plus two beverages, for under 500 THB—an absolute steal and exactly why this place is always busy. The flavors are fairly straightforward and probably geared more toward tourists, but it’s done well and completely worth a visit.

Only place in Thailand where we loved every dish we ordered. Though there was a long queue, the ticketing system was well organised. Tried: • Fried veggie spring rolls – 10/10 • Papaya salad – 1000/10 • Basil and chilli chicken with rice – 100/10 • Vegetable pineapple fried rice with egg – 100/10 • Mango sticky rice – 10/10 They even ask for your preferred spice level. Quite affordable and worth the money. Must visit if you’re staying near this area!
