Suki Changphuak — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

Upon reaching here, do not be confused by a line forming. You need to obtain a queue number at the counter. Thereafter, you will have to wait for your number to be called. While waiting, you can watch the cook skilfully toss cabbage, glass noodles, and meat in the wok. Once the number is called, head to the counter to place your order. I noticed for locals they are given a QR code to place your order. Tourists on the other hand have to order at the counter. You choose between a stir fry option or a soup option. You then have to pick your ingredient, choosing from chicken, pork, seafood, a mix or mushrooms. Prices go for ฿55 to 65. Thereafter, a table is allocated to you.

To give some perspective on the queue situation. I arrived at around 7 and had to wait around for an hour for my number to be called. Thereafter, I had to wait for around 15 minutes for my food. I got the stir fry mixed (฿65) and really enjoyed the flavour from the wok. The cabbage is crunchy and the meat is tender. I would recommend this dish and also...

I came here at 5:15 PM and there was already a long queue. So if you want to eat at the store, be ready to wait a bit.

Customer process: _ Get the queue number at cashier table _ Look at the screen to see what number is called to be seated _ Once it’s your turn, you’ll go to the cashier table again to order, cashier will then tell you a table number to sit. _ Finish eating, go back to cashier to pay.

Store process: _ There are 2 stations in charged of cooking fried Thai Suki. 1 station is in charged of cooking Thai Suki soup. Hence, you can tell fried Suki is more popular and preferred by customers. _ If you order Thai Suki soup to take home, the soup will be separated in different bag so that your noodle and veggies won’t be soggy. _ Chefs cook per order per dish, that’s why it takes a long time to wait for your food.

Food overall is good, yet considering the waiting time (~1 hour), there should be other better options to eat and save time. Still, you should try here...
