Why go, and how to do it well
This is a stop, not a destination. It sits beside the White Temple's parking area, which tells you most of what you need to know. You eat here because you've just walked the temple and you're hungry, not because you've come across town for it.
The stalls cover the usual northern Thai canteen ground, crispy pork with rice, roasted duck over rice, red BBQ pork, fish soup, with a buffet upstairs. Duck over rice runs about 60 baht, which is fair given where you're standing. The fruit shakes get the warmest words in the reviews by some distance. The fish soup gets the coldest, so I'd steer round it. Service moves fast, though a few people have found the staff short with them. Midday is when the tour buses land, so eat at 7am or hang on until mid-afternoon and you'll wait in line less.

We came here for breakfast and got some crispy pork with rice which was wonderful. The portion was decent, cash only and you need to pay at the counter to then load a cash card to pay. There were quite a few options and service is very quick. “Jonique Life” If you find value in our reviews please consider following our social media outlets on Facebook and Instagram as we highlight magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.
White Temple is a great attraction for tourists who come to eat at this restaurant after long walks. This food court is located right beside the parking area of the White Temple and can offer you a wide range of food choices depending on your preference or mood. You can opt to go for multiple side dishes and mains and also try out their different fruit shakes. Upstairs, you can go all out and try out their buffet. If you and your group are still a bit full and don’t want to eat anything heavy, you can just chill on the ground floor of the food court and order some snacks or coffee. We don’t see how any other restaurant can beat this food court as it is quite literally beside the White Temple, the food selections are varied, and the prices are pretty affordable. You should definitely give this restaurant a shot when in Chiang Rai!
I ordered the roasted duck over rice. At THB60 it was a great deal considering the food court was located by the parking lot of the White Temple. I thought the meal was meh. The duck didn’t have much of a flavor. Payment is weird; you have to add money to a card at the front counter then head over to the stall you want and order.

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.
