Isaan Ros Sab Restaurant — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I’m really confused after eating here. The Google reviews are great, but it was our worst meal we’ve had in Chiang Mai in 4 days. Maybe they were having an off day? The food was really bad. We had a shrimp pad Thai, vegetable stir fry with chicken, and spring rolls, and they were all really bad. The spring rolls had nothing in them except rice noodles. The vegetable stir fry was devoid of flavor, and the pad Thai tasted really strange. There were only two people working there, and as much as I want to be supportive of a small family shop, everyone had a very long wait to get their food. There is so much great food in Chiang Mai, and this place was not in the he same league. I hope our experience was a fluke and the place is usually as good as the reviews here indicate. Melissa Sanders’ review below is the closest thing I see to the experience we had. My son had a fruit smoothie that was pretty good which is the only reason I can give this more...

Decent prices, the garlic chicken was nice. But when I asked for chips instead of the rice with the chicken I was charged 160 baht, even though chips cost 60 and the chicken rice costs 80, should have been 140. This was done through the very old grandma, she seemed to do it on purpose, I didn't feel like arguing with her and agreed on '160' before the order, I agreed to it beforehand but it was still odd, the rest of the family seemed very nice however and I am sure they wouldn't do that, I think this was just a one time unfortunate happening, perhaps maybe unintentionally, but I cannot rate higher than 3 stars for that reason, otherwise a nice simple place...

This is another small unassuming Thai restaurant, easily passed on your walk down the road… We sought it out for its style of cooking and a specific smoothie 9 tables, simple and rustic, clean restaurant with the kitchen in the back. Service was attentive and friendly, we ordered fried noodles with tofu and morning glory. The dishes were fantastic!! Flavorful, with variations of textures and colors, and whole roasted garlic cloves in it. Portions are a bit on the small side, most couples ate 3-4 dishes between them. The best part though: smoothie No 1!!! We’d come back here just for that!

Sorry, the food so good we forgot to take a photo. Do yourself a favor...
