ข้าวซอยป้านาย(Khao Soi PA Nay) — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I dont know why there aren’t more reviews of this place, it was by far the best Kao Soi we tried! Other places are either too salty or way too spicy, but the soup here is absolutely well balanced and perfect with a lot of coconut milk in it. The broth tastes very deep, as if they’ve been cooking it for a few hours. Other places dont have that deep taste, rather tastes more like they heated it up in the morning and just pour a lot of spices and salt in it to make up the lack of time they brewed the soup. I went here not expecting much, after reading some of the reviews.. but was really surprised at how good it tastes! I tried all the other famous kao soi place in town (around 6-7 places) and none of them made me go “wow” after the first sip. This place is by far the best kao soi on my list. The owner is really friendly, always giving free stuff like tea, tangerines, and candy. They dont speak english well, but they show true Thai hospitality and kindness. Definitely...

At first we wanted to go to Kao Soy Nimman opposite this restaurant but as it was too early in the morning it wasnt opened yet so we've decided to give this one a chance: big mistake! It was the worst Kao Soy ever: they use a kind of thin Chinese noodles which was really bad, the stewed beef was really hard to chew and seemed overcooked, the curry sauce didn't taste like kao soy at all. And the inside of the restaurant...

I'd give 0 stars if I could. They didn't have a lot of menu items available and when we asked if they had a specific dish the waitress said no. Then when a late guest arrived and asked about the same menu item, she said yes.

The waitress had a bad attitude the whole time. We even had thai speakers with us so it definitely wasn't a communication issue. We ended up walking out before we finished ordering.

Avoid...
