Khao Soi Vijitra Baan Du — Restaurant in Chiang Rai Province

Honestly, I don't understand the positive reviews of the khao soi. Maybe, it's because that they had new year's party, but it was bad. The crispy noodles on top, where obviously old, not fresh at all. Moreover, only a few pieces of beef, a bit tender. The chicken, was dry.

Service is okay, but a bit slow.

The atmosphere of this place is okay, local.

Location is great, next to the highway in the direction of Mae Chan, just before the intersection with the university.

Great local restaurant situated between the blue temple and Black museum on the main road. Service was good and plenty of seating. Bring your appetite, there's plenty of options...

We also love to grab a coffee at Companion Coffee (attached) while or...
