Nok Lae Sukhothai Noodle — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

Avoid coming here. Food is average. The people working at the restaurant were super rude, never experienced this in CM before. We came in and none of the tables were cleared and we asked to sit and they just ignored us - there was only like 4 other people in the restaurant. We waited and asked again and they just waved their hand and asked us to sit anywhere. There was a lady paying and they told her they didn’t have change for her rudely. There was another lady waiting as well and they didn’t attend her and she asked to see the menu twice.

I asked to get the Sukothai noodle but not too spicy, they gave me a soup with 50% less ingredients and flavor than the standard and I’ve had this many times in Bangkok (they probably thought I was a tourist trying this the first time but no I’ve had this many times). I told them to add a little spice, 2 times they ignored me and finally they angrily came to me after I kept asking them to add the other ingredients and they just took my bowl and pour so much chili inside (plus some other ingredients that gave it more flavor) and gave it back to me. It tasted way better after but it was so spicy. The portion is tiny so not filling, but the soup was so much tastier after.

At the end we paid and we said goodbye and thank you and they just ignored us, looked back at us with a blank face. Like how can you be so rude like this? And they were like this to the other customers too.

Don’t even come to support the business if they act like this towards...

Thailand has traded with the Chinese since the Sukhothai era by shipping the Celadon Sangkhalok Ware. According to the trading document, there was not a record about noodle until the Ayutthaya era. The reign of King Ramathibodi III (Narai), during 1656-1688) was the golden age of various foods. Due to the trading with many countries so not only exchanging goods, but also many types of food from other countries to Siam. Afterward, Thais adapted those foods to suit their local ingredients and their tastes. The noodle also came along with the Chinese merchants, they cooked and shared it to others as the new dish which made people wanted to try this single dish that was easily cooked just boiling noodle, adding meat, and pouring soup. At the present, Kuaytiew has adapted into many parts of Thailand. Kuaytiew Sukhothai, local people call “Kuaytiew-Thai” but outside people call “Kuaytiew-Sukhothai”. The differences are ingredients, which consists of thinly sliced green beans, ground peanut and lime juice. Kuaytiew Sukhothai is similar to "Kamphaeng Phet" which is called ‘Kuaytiew Cha-Kung-Rao’. In the opposite way, Sukhothai's is topped by red slightly pork and Kamphaeng Phet's flavors by turnip and dried salted prawn. Also in Nakhonsithammarat's, the city of south Thailand, topping by streaky boiled pork and use the swamp cabbage instead of slightly pork and thin sliced...

Recommended by masseurs from a massage shop. This place is one of the few unobvious shop in Chiang Mai that sells delicious pork knuckle rice and egg noodles! It is not a fancy restaurant. Just a simple family set up business. From the walls of this shop hang countless of pictures taken with Thai celebrities. This is a testament of how good the food is here. They have menu written in both English and Chinese. The prices are written clearly on the menu too. I came after lunch time so that I don’t have to fight with the lunch crowd over seating. The pork knuckle is braised till super ‘fall off the bone’ tender. Accompanied by pickled vegetables and one whole egg, this really a...
