"The Khao Soi itself is pretty spectacular. Rich, fragrant, and deeply savory, with a mild heat and just a touch of sweetness."

Valen Dawson

"This coconut-curry noodle soup appeals to all the taste sensations: the intensely flavored broth is salty with a touch of sweet, the pickles add a touch of bitter and sourness."

Louise Hendon

"We also ordered the beef khao soi, which uses a different dark broth. I highly suggest trying a bowl of each when you go."

Vidya Balachander

"Each bite was a riot of contrasting textures: chewy egg noodles, crunchy mustard greens, crackly fried topping. The unctuous gravy with a deep underpinning of spice."

Austin Bush

"One of Chiang Mai’s most legendary locales for kôw soy, Khao Soi Lam Duan serves what are probably the city’s most full-flavoured bowls."

Max Bonem

"It’s silly, thinking a bowl of noodles is worth a trip to the other side of the planet, but I’m not exaggerating when I say that this humble meal was worth every penny of my plane ticket."

Nenek G.

"The Best Khao Soi in Chiang Mai: Khao Soi Lam Duan - The broth is intense and thick, akin to being gravy-like."
