Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We stumbled into this place totally by accident. But it turned out to be a great experience. There is not a lot on the menu but their Pad Thai is definitely on the top tier that I have had. Not to mention, the Thai ice tea is also a must try! We have devoured the food so much before we took a picture. Highly recommend this."
"Hands down one of the best hidden gems in Chiang Mai. 2 things on the menu - Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice. And the Pad Thai is incredible. The owner is super kind and speaks good English too."
"Really good Pad Thai for only 50 baht. The drinks are amazing and the owner is really nice. He offers bananas for free and puts on the ventilator when you sit down at the table. We really liked it here so we even came here a second time."
"I’ve been all over Thailand, can say hands down this is one of the best Pad Thai’s out there! This guy can cook!"
"What a great place for a nice warm meal! This spot was always in our route and we kept walking by it every day so we wanted to try their secret recipe Pad Thai. We ordered that plus one of the milk chocolate drinks. Everything was delicious and the owner was very kind! I find that a lot of places see tourists and automatically give them tourist flavors. We’ve tried a bunch of places for Pad Thai in the past week we’ve been here but I can def say this is the best one we’ve tried so far! We’ll be coming back to try the Thai Iced Tea and mango sticky rice along with another Pad Thai!"
"Kind, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We stumbled across the cafe and loved it. Pad Thai and mango sticky rice, the only menu items, were perfect. The owner told us he opened the cafe to serve the Thai iced tea but added other options just because. The cafe offers bananas for free while we wait and he prepared the pad Thai fresh. It was like eating in the patio of a family friend who also makes really delicious authentic Thai food. Thank you"
"Great Pad Thai in a tiny place run by a wonderful chef who operates everything by himself. If you are a foodist who is looking for the best Pad Thai in town - look no further. His secret ingredients: Love for food and an open heart for people."
"Cozy café with the best Pad Thai I have ever had in town. I’ve come here so many times. Whenever I crave Pad Thai, this is always my go‑to spot, with warm service that makes every visit special."
