    Over on the ever-changing chalkboard menu of specials, you'll find things such as a blistering tom yum soup; and if you're lucky, the excellent Issan-style sausage will not have been sold out. Read more

    The broth on the khao soi is bold, rich and slightly sweet comfort food that's a gutsy take on the dish. Pad thai is more of a no-brainer: The perfectly stir-fried noodles are the best in the city. Read more

    Be sure to check out the daily special & eat at the counter, as its open kitchen is a delight to observe. Menu favorites include Hanin Chicken over garlic rice, Thai sausage and Thai BBQ chicken.

    Khao Soi here is solid, and this is coming from someone who ate it seven days in a row in Chiang Mai :)

    Khao soi is pretty damn good here. Also, you have to get the Kanom Krok (little coconut ball shaped pancakes). Both of those and Thai tea and it’s a meal to make you smile for sure

    I am halfway through the beef panang curry here and I've stopped to tell you to come and eat the beef panang curry here. Astonishing meats, fantastical spices, all nice and brown. Eat it!

    No matter how many times I come here meaning to try something new, I leave with the chicken bowl and a deep sense of contentment. Start here and, if you're adventurous, work your way down the menu.

    You can't go wrong with #1 or #2 (#1 is better), but don't forget to check the specials board. Vegetable Green Curry is my favorite.

    The spicy shrimp soup is large & quite grand, but too acidic (very tomato forward, not enough kick). Walk to the backside of the stall to get the noodle based dishes (separate counter).

    This place is amazing. Real deal green curry with exotic mushrooms and tons of other veggies. Perfect rice.

    This is the most authentic, no frills Thai food I've ever had. The flavors of the curry noodles are just perfect.

    Such a hype for this. The bbq chicken + sticky rice was ok. Tom yum goong was ok, not spicy enough and the only ingredients were mushroom and shrimp. Not authentic Thai tom yum. Disappointment

    The food was good, well made and not expensive at all. Also, it's nice to see your chicken in the making.

    The BBQ chicken and white sticky rice is worth any wait.

    Food was ok - but could be spicier and some of the chicken quality was a bit suspect.
