Moh-o-cha
Moh-o-cha is a dinner-only restaurant situated on the old airport road in the Su Thep area of Chiang Mai, drawing a steady following of locals and visitors with its consistent evening service and accessible mid-range pricing. Its location outside the immediate city centre makes it a practical choice for those staying in the university or Nimman districts, while remaining reachable from other parts of the city. Guests can expect a neighbourhood dining atmosphere rather than a tourist-facing operation, which contributes to its appeal among repeat customers. The restaurant focuses purely on evening meals, creating a defined dining occasion rather than an all-day casual stop. For the most current menu details, daily offerings, and any updates, the Facebook page serves as the primary source of information. Good to know: Moh-o-cha opens at 5pm every day of the week with no closing days, making it a reliable option when other restaurants in the area may be shut. Last orders are taken before 9pm, so arriving between 6pm and 7pm is advisable to allow enough time to order and eat without feeling rushed. Checking the Facebook page before visiting is recommended, as it functions as the restaurant's main communication channel for any changes to hours or menu availability.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
