Why Travelers Love Huen Phen
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Dinner was good! My first Khao Soi so far. I went on a Sunday around 6.30pm, the restaurant wasn’t busy. The price was ok too. I would come back! The restaurant is actually divided in 2. One side is open during the day and looks like a traditional place, while the other part is only open for dinner and is a very surprising place. In both case the cuisine is good (we really enjoyed their sai ua), in quantity, and for a very reasonable price. We went to both sides, but our preference goes to the night part and all the surrounding artifacts. You are dining in a museum, but apparently some artifacts can be purchased. We elected to dine outside of the AC room but did not suffer from heat at all. Seriously good food but countered by the really rubbish service. The table next to us was in a hurry and had only just finished getting their order when we were leaving. We arrived after them! Food is great though. Very tasty and the Burmese curry very very moreish

Steeped in atmosphere, delicious food at quite reasonable prices, adequate service, and a very convenient location half-way along Ratchamanka Road in the Old City. I suggest booking over walk-in, and anticipate a leisurely evening. I was also curious as to why they had an all-male serving staff team, which never helps. In spite of the service issues, I recommend this restaurant.

Amazing authentic Northern Thai food doesn't get much better than this. Khao soi is fantastic and well worth checking out Highly recommend and don't leave chiang mai without visiting here.
