Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked into a quiet soi off Singharat Road in the Si Phum district, this Thai restaurant sits within easy walking distance of Chiang Mai's Old City, making it a natural stop for travelers exploring the historic center. It draws a loyal following of both locals and visitors, with standout dishes including khao soi, massaman curry, and morning glory — the latter arriving in notably generous portions with garlic and chilli. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, suited to a casual meal rather than a formal dining occasion.
The menu centers on traditional Thai cooking, and reviewers frequently praise the depth of flavor and balance across dishes. Portions are consistently described as large and well-priced. Some visitors have noted inconsistency between dishes — the khao soi earns particular praise, while less traditional options have drawn mixed feedback — so sticking to Thai classics appears to be the stronger choice. The kitchen also accommodates vegetarian preferences, which have received positive mentions.

Fabulous! Lovely staff and great food. Morning glory portions super generous and liked the chilli added as well as garlic. Massaman curry delicious- compared to others we’ve tried this curry had a stronger coconut flavour and less intense peanut flavour. So good and nice level of spice. Two of us shared both dishes with rice and were stuffed. Highly recommend and price great too.
Big portions and absolutely delicious food. Everything is perfectly balanced — not salty and not spicy at all. Very pleasant atmosphere and a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommended!
At first I had a good impression but it sadly turned bad. While the khao Soi tasted amazing, the phad Thai was the worst I ever had, the shrimp were cold and not cooked enough, and it was bland and like there were key ingredients missing like tamarind. Worst part was being bombarded with flies non stop. I paid and mentioned how the pad Thai was not good to see their reaction but no acknowledgement at all and the reviews don't justify the reality and I would not recommend it unfortunately.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
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.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
