“ my 3rd visit to dine here, i’d say each of their dish is perfectly prepared and they definitely deserve Michelin award! Every dish is cooked to perfection I’d definitely dine here every night if i were to stay in Chiang Mai. The ambience could be a lil bit hot though but doesn’t bother me to enjoy their food ”
“ We ate here every day during our trip to Chiang Mai. The food was delicious! A local Thai person recommended this place to me, saying that the food was great despite not being well-known—and they were absolutely right. The prices were very affordable, and I was truly surprised by how amazing the food was. The staff and manager were also incredibly kind and attentive. ”
“ Prices are very low so don’t have sky high expectations. This place still gets a good review because the prices are so affordable. It’s easy to order food because they have photos of all their dishes in the menu. Portions are very small so that can be a positive if you want to dine on a wider variety of dishes that come in smaller portions. If your tolerance to spicy food is low like mine, I suggest you remind the serving staff for less spicy/chilli when you order. Ordered and fresh coconut and the juice inside it tasted a little sour. Not sure if this is related to the variety of coconut or how fresh the coconut is ? I will probably visit again and try their other dishes. ”
“ This local Thai spot is a delightful find, offering fantastic value and mouthwatering dishes that appeal to both locals and tourists. The flat noodle stir fry is a must-try, rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. Don’t miss the Thai vegetables stir fry, bursting with freshness. The outdoor dining area creates a relaxed, chill atmosphere, making it perfect for a leisurely meal. With generous portions and reasonable prices, it's an ideal choice for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Highly recommend! ”
“ Excellent local kitchen at local prices despite being in the middle of Nimman. Service was a bit slow and not attentive but honestly I was not there to expect premium service. The khao soi chicken was so tender you can pull it apart with just one fork, and the stewed beef rice was delicious. ”
