Hua Lin Restaurant — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

We initially dropped by for their recommended XiaoLongBao menu, but ended up enjoying everything - and returning, time and time again!

Parking is plentiful, restaurant is simple, clean, lots of seating, staff and service was good and relatively fast, menu offers a large variety of dishes, appetizers, vegetable, meat, rice and noodle dishes. Everything we tried was good and tasty, quite on the mild side, with some slightly spicy dishes, but their complimentary chilli paste was really good.

During peak meal times, the restaurant does get quite busy, but service hasn't been a problem for us thus far. Just thought I would mention that if you would rather enjoy your meal in a more relaxed and peaceful environment, I'd recommend arriving a little before the crowds.

Definitely looking forward to our next...

I have been to this restaurant many times. The food is pretty good the service is lackluster. But this time the owner says his staff is new. He has many people standing around. I ordered pork dumplings and a plate of vegetables and water with a glass of ice. I receive the vegetables and a plastic bottle of water. I had to ask three Times for the ice. The new staff clearly speaks no English. I waited a long time and then complained about not getting my dumplings they had no idea what I was talking about I called the owner over and he didn’t even understand me. I told him I had ordered Stirfried vegetables and garlic with fried dumplings . I left frustrated and hungry. Who goes to a restaurant and leaves hungry? Unless you have someone that can speak Thai language or Chinese you might as well...

Here on a Tuesday evening (645) restaurant was not full, only 2 other tables.

Absolutely disappointing. Food was just not up to standard. Ordered Mapo tofu, stir fried beans and 韭菜盒.(310b)

Tofu was too starchy and tasteless. The gravy stuck to the tofu like glue. Lumpy. Vegetable was over cooked and tasteless. Didn’t finish because I just can’t. They didn’t bother taking the fibre out from the veggie.

The only thing decent was the 韭菜盒。

Comparing this with my previous trip here. Absolutely upset. We canceled the vegetable because i took too long. But they served it anyways. (110b wasted). Food not consistent, lacking service standards. It pains me to write this. Would not patronise again, what a lousy end to...
