Reviews from Google
Might be some of my favorite food I've had in Thailand. Simple, fresh and delicious. I ate here everyday in pai. The ladies are also so sweet. The wonton noodle soup and crispy pork w rice were fantastic! Plenty of condiments at the front table to customize your plate.
The Chicken Tom Yum Soup was simply delicious! Great place if you want to taste local food for a cheap price.
Local warm food that suits for all. A good hot bowl of noodles, nicely cooked with fresh ingredients (except the wanton), plus having a good array of condiments, makes having breakfast here an excellent choice. Open from 7am I deducted 1 star coz the lights in the restaurant was not working.

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.
