Khao Soi Mae Pa Sri is not far from Wat Phra Singh. It's laid-back, the food is really tasty, and it's right on the street, so it's easy to find. The owner is incredibly kind and sweet, and the service is very attentive.
The restaurant serves original family recipes passed down from generation to generation – traditional Lanna-style Thai food.

The shop carefully selects good-quality ingredients so customers get food that's genuinely good for them.
We actually just wanted khao soi and happened to stumble upon this place, so we stopped in.
We tried the beef khao soi and it was delicious. The beef is stewed just right – easy to chew – and the curry broth is rich. If you want to go all out, you can order a mix of beef and chicken. It felt like eating at home with family.
Simple, tasty food at real Thai prices – authentic Thai flavors, inexpensive, and great service. The customers are both Thai and foreign. You might expect tourist prices in a destination like Chiang Mai, but not here – the prices are genuinely local. The shop is inside the Chiang Mai old city moat.
If you don't feel like khao soi, there are plenty of other dishes, including made-to-order food: fried rice, pad kra pao (holy basil stir-fry), pad thai, pad see ew and much more, all waiting for visitors to try Thai food the Thai way.
If you live in or are visiting Chiang Mai, you can also order through delivery apps like LINE MAN and foodpanda, or call ahead and pick up at the shop. The restaurant also caters off-site events and private parties.
