Khao Soi Arak

A no-frills local gem if you are looking for an old-school bowl of Khao Soi in Old City. The broth is not overlysweet or heavy on coconut milk. I am not big on spiciness, so the spice level here is just nice. The chicken drumstick is soft and tender, and easily falls apart. The uncle who took the order automatically asked :"Less sweet"?? when I ordered iced lemon tea, which I thought was nice of him as I usually will not make any request that deviates from the normal serving for food. I was there around 10.45am and the crowd started streaming in at around 11.15am on a weekday, both locals and tourists. Do pop by early to get a seat.

I am a huge Khao Soi fan, it's one of my favorite Thai delicacies. But I have to say this one was disappointing. I don't mind eating out of a garage, actually for me that's an instant sign of good food. But the taste was just not there. The richness of a good khao soi was missing, the character was not there. It's very affordable, but for that same price point I've gotten way better Khao Soi in Chiang Mai

10/10 Khao Soi. Fast service, extremely affordable, ice tea is delicious. Best chicken leg I've ever had, so soft. Must visit if you're in Chiang Mai

First time I tried Khao Soi and definitely not the last time ! 😊 For 50 baht you get a very reasonable size portion, with so much rich taste 🤗 Would recommend everyone coming here to try out their Khao Soi 🤩🙌

A small 'local' spot with khao soi made and served by a lovely elder couple. Portions not that big and not the best you'll find in town, but they are worth trying and it's reasonable priced at 50 baht. The thai milk tea was delicious and only 25 baht (cheaper than 7-Eleven). Go support this place!
