"Amazing food. The Khao Soi is delicious. You can add your own toppings at the counter. The owners are very kind and friendly. It's not expensive at all, the average price is around 40 bahts. It's away from the crowds with a local feel 👍 I came back here multiple times."

"Lovely authentic Thai place with good prices. We tried the Khao soi and it was delicious and you could assemble the toppings how you wanted yourself at their little table with toppings. It was awesome. I would definitely come back!"

"the staff were extremely nice and courteous. the khao soi with chicken was unfortunately no longer available, so we ordered 2 times with beef. unfortunately, about 80% of the meat was very tough. otherwise it was very tasty. the price is awesome. highly recommended."
