Thai lover here and we stumble upon SONG PI NONG when finding food in old town. We tried the other store Phanat Thai just a block away. We find both store very enjoyable, the different is SONG PI NONG curry is cooked to perfection, can’t rmb if it was green/res or coconut curry, additionally, they offer attentive customer service and speak fluent English. You get a ipad to look through their menu when you get seated. You then tell waiter what to order.

I understand it's a family owned mom and daughter business but they need to learn basic customer...

The restaurant itself is quite small and at dinner time only one single staff at the front. We had a wait a bit before she was able to clear the table. It also took her a bit of time before they were able to take our orders as there were couple other tables in front of us that just sat down. Despite the initial slow service once our food got here everything was good. The portion size was quite nice the white rice was definitely bigger bowl than I expected.
