First time I've even to this restuarant and safe to say it won't be my last. Great price meals and staff are very friendly. I was in the mood for something light and healthy for dinner (which I ruined by having 2 beers) but I ordered the prawn and avocado salad as well as prol larb. The salad was delicious and prawns so fresh. The larb was spot on but could have been a bit spicier for my taste. I'm so glad I decided to stop here for dinner. This is an example a good classic local Thai restaurant.

Came here 7 years back. Good to see the place has changed for even better. Excellent location for a quiet afternoon or late evening dinner. I used to spend a lot of time here with my sketchbook. Very friendly owner and her family who runs the place. A good place for a conversation or just to sit around quietly with a beer looking at the passers-by.

Normally I buy Thai food here in Thailand. But I ordered the house red wine from Australia so I also ordered a steak. Wauw do never do that. Worse ever. My wife had some decent Thai food but everything just tasted like food come out from a box and then put in the hot oil.
There are many very good places to buy food around this area but this was not one of them

And service was not very good either

Staff are friendly and accommodating. Wine was nice.
Unfortunately, that is where it ends. Food was very slow - it took nearly 45 minutes for my daughter’s fries to arrive. This was followed at 55 minutes by my wife’s mediocre Khoa Soi, I say mediocre because it was mild, tasted of nothing other than coconut and only contained about three pieces of chicken. My rather bland fish with ginger dish followed in quick succession. I can only presume that they completely forgot to cook my children’s tempura prawns as there was no sign of them. They had still not arrived when our meals were finished and when asked I was told that they were just plate-ing them. This was followed by the staff member heading to the kitchen to ‘check’. After two minutes there was still no sign of the children’s food so we asked to take them off the bill and settle up for the items we received. They did this without question.
Tourism has taken a hit and things are just starting to pick up again. It may well have been just a bad night for them and given a few days or weeks things will improve. I hope so.

Excellent food, service and wine in the midst of Old Town. Sorry no photos, we were hungry and forgot till we finished eating
Had a wonderful chat with the owner, Kong ( excuse me if I misspelled your name), and a neighbor. We have been in Chiang Mai 2 weeks and love this place

Good place to grab a quick drink (have not tried the food) and watch the world go by, first came here back in 2016 and it doesn't seem to have changed. The owner/staff are friendly, although it took a while to be served when we first arrived.

The taste of the food wasn’t too bad but the waiting time was insane. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food.
I would recommend coming here for a drink only but not for dinner, especially if you are with a big group since it will take forever.
