What a beautiful little restaurant in Old Town ❤️ Has a family vibe to it with the friendliest servers! We ordered the Khoa Soi, hands down the very best I've had in my life! And the price felt unreal, such value for money ❤️ we still have a few days staying in Chiang Mai and we will most definitely be back!!! During my 3 days in Chang Mai. I ate here twice only for they close on Mondays to give their fantastic staff a break we would have been there a third time. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The Koh Soi I had here was my favourite meal during my 2.5 weeks in Thailand and the spring rolls are also delicious and so so fresh. If anyone is looking for a great and excellently priced meal in the Chang Mai area I could not recommend this establishment more. This is a great place for Koi Soi Chicken and you must try their delicious mango sticky rice! Place is clean, service is extremely attentive and portions are big. Thank you Tony & his family!

Good food at a great price! And above all, excellent service and warm hospitality. I liked the Khao Soi here because it wasn’t as rich and spicy as the others I’ve tried. The mango sticky rice also had a very generous serving of sweet mangoes. ☺️
