Reviews from Google
I really love this restaurant. I come here very often and it has become one of my favorite places in Pai. The house special, a Beef Curry with vegetables and dark rice, is super delicious and always worth ordering. The view is also beautiful and makes the meal even better. I also really enjoy the Burmese food. The Myanmar Salad is fresh, crispy and full of flavor. One of the best I’ve had. The owner is amazing. He is very kind, very warm and always gives his best. You feel welcome every time you visit. I can only recommend this place. I will keep coming back. ❤️
Excellent food along with excellent views of the valley. We ordered the bamboo shoot stir fry with chicken and the fermented Tea Leaf salad, also a myanmar green tea (hot). Great flavors and great service. Easy walk from the city.
Tasty and reasonably priced lunch. We were told they do not use msg, fish sauce and oyster sauce. It would have been perfect if our food was served piping hot.

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.
