Maan Muang — Restaurant in Saphan Sung Subdistrict

The BEST Northern Thai food in Bangkok. I have been coming here for years and it has since became recognized as a Michelin-starred restaurant, with a more improved dining areas and better service. Do not miss!

Why is it the best Northern Thai Food restaurant in Bangkok? Taste and variety.

Firstly, taste. If you want to try as authentic taste as you possibly can of Northern Thai food, look no further. This place really deliver on taste. You cannot be disappointed. Sure, not all dishes are sublime, but overall, they do deliver as close to an experience in taste and presentation as you can get in Bangkok. Anything better and you’ll have to fly to Northern city of Chiangmai to experience.

Secondly, variety. This is one of the few Northern Food restaurant in Bangkok that has ALMOST everything Northern Thai food has to offer. The selection is extensive. They even have seasonal dishes with more exotic vegetables and meats (red ant eggs, anyone?) on offer. Again, as close to a Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai experience without flying there.

The price is reasonable too. Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and variety you are getting. (130-180THB/dish or US$3.50-$5.50). Portion is normal for Chiangmai but may be small for foreigners. So one should order 2-3 dishes per person. And why not? That way you will get to enjoy more of the flavorful offerings and try out the extensive variety of Northern Thai...

Michelin 2023 Worthy! Authentic Northern Thai Lanna cuisine located inside Sammakorn Village (across Paseo Town Ramkhamhaeng). Every dish was delicious & every Staff team were so friendly & helpful. There are English speaking Staff members & they will provide a Receipt printed in English if needed.

We just tried 'Huen Muan Jai' restaurant in Chiangmai a few weeks ago. It was also a Michelin Guide restaurant for the past few years & we were very excited that we found 'Maan Muang' with the same, if not better, authentic Lanna cuisine within 15 mins from our place! A definite must-try if you love authentic Northern Thai dishes.

Khao Soi Noodle soup here was a level above the Khao Soi we had at the Michelin restaurant in Chiangmai. Soup base was a lot more flavorful with a clean finishing taste.

We've been to many restaurants in the same Village but this is definitely our Top Pick. Will definitely go back to try the rest of the Menu!

*There is a big outdoor market (covered roof) by the entrance of this village. Great for shopping & finding local eateries on the way out. Parking lot available across the market.

*Revisited on 2/20. Even better than...

Great food with exemplary service but a lot more expensive than it looks. Price per dish isn't high but the portion is really small, it would be wise to double the amount of dishes you normally eat.

Aside from that, everything taste great and authentic. Not too spicy too if you're weak on that. It took a bit of driving from the city and the traffic could be seriously bad (that area is pretty infamous) but well worth it if you valued food with sophisticated taste and exotic ingredient.

Recommended: Labtod and dipping set. Better order the whole fish fried as well to add up to the food as the portion is really small, fish is probably the only one where you can get some decent protein size...
