Lookbua thai food Restaurant

As far as tourist-oriented restaurants in Chiang Mai’s Old Town go, this is one of the better options for reasonably authentic and affordable Thai food. I tend to avoid places that mainly cater to tourists, but I stopped here because I was in the mood for a red duck curry, which is surprisingly hard to find at a reasonable price. They had it on the menu, and it was good enough that I ended up coming back a few times. I also tried several other dishes, and everything fell into the same category: solid, well-prepared Thai standards. The service is good, the presentation is pleasant, and while nothing here is especially outstanding, it’s a reliable choice if you’re looking for decent Thai food in the Old Town. A 4.5 but I'll round up.

Lookbua is a popular spot with the locals and tourists alike. It was recommended to me by my Thai host. In the heart of the Old City, the restaurant has a phenomenally large menu. Some of their signature dishes include pineapple rice (served in a pineapple) and Thai steamed curry seafood (served in a coconut). I had the Thai curry with crab and the pineapple rice, and I took the green Thai curry soup to go. I just couldn't decide! The restaurant was a little crowded, and little noisy, and there was a lineup to get in, even on a Wednesday! But don't let this stop you. The food and service are top notch.

Very good local Thai food restaurant, located near the west gate of old city, have many varieties of food to choose from. We order roasted duck with red curry, chicken feet spicy soup, and Pineapple baked rice. All are very delicious dishes.
