The food is northeastern Thai food or Isaan cuisine. Food from this region is dominated by simple, marinated, grilled or fried chicken and meats, brightly flavored salads, and of course, rice.

Our best Khao Soi is from street vendors located off Chonprathan Road (Chiang Mai Outer Ring Road) at the intersection of Wua Lai road.
What we like most about Khao Soy Mae Sai is their selection of other Chiang Mai northern soups.
What To Eat At Khao Soy Mae Sai
Our preferred soup is Jean Nam Ngiao. It’s a noodle pork soup that is slightly spicy with a light tomato broth served with the typical blood cubes.
Regardless of how the ingredients sound, we highly suggest giving it a try. This is a local specialty and it tastes much better than it sounds.
The service at the restaurant is fast as they have all the ingredients and bowls of noodles already prepared for their customers.

10. Pun Pun Vegetarian Restaurant – Best Restaurant in Chiang Mai For Wild Thai Mushrooms
Mushrooms feature prominently in the local cuisine of northern Thailand. At the local markets, the diversity of wild mushrooms is quite striking.
To taste Chiang Mai food made with several varieties of these mushrooms, locals told us to visit Pun Pun Vegetarian restaurant located close to Chiang Mai University.
This restaurant can be a bit hard to find. It is on the grounds of the Wat Suan Dok temple and not visible from the street. You can find it through a backdoor entrance past the temple parking area.

This Chiang Mai food guide would not be complete without mentioning the Cowboy Hat Lady’s food stall.
On any given evening, across from Chang Phueak Gate in Chiang Mai’s Old City, you’ll find the famous Cowboy Hat Lady busily cooking up a mountain of tender pork legs.

12. Som Tum Restaurant – Best Chiang Mai Restaurant for Thai Papaya Salad
This local Thai restaurant in Chiang Mai is popular with students from the nearby Chiang Mai University.
The decor at Som Tum is simple with white walls painted with iconic Thai food scenes. And, on other walls, pictures of a variety of Thai food and salads.
There is both an indoor and outdoor seating area, and we recommend going for a table in the interior.
The busy street outside and delivery motorcycles coming in and out make the outdoor tables less appealing.

This is one of the restaurants in Chiang Mai that specializes in serving Thai salads, sour Tom Yum soup, and chicken skewers.
You’ll find a variety of northern Thai som tam salads to choose from. All are made fresh to order with ingredients like crab paste, pork, cucumbers, corn and many others.

So many new foods to try! I love trying new things I’ll have to plan a trip to Chaing Mai when we visit Thailand someday!
Thanks, Dylan, so glad you enjoyed the article. Hope your travels take you to Chiang Mai soon 🙂
I would really like to try Huen Phen for the Laarb. Looks like an amazing dish and I really like that the restaurant is a long standing Chiang Mai Restaurant in the Old City.
Thanks, Nicole, there is something truly special about long standing restaurants. And, Huen Phen and their Laarb deliver massively. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh my goodness, all this food looks incredible! You’re making me want to add Chiang Mai to my travel bucket list now!!
Perfect 🙂 And the food in Chiang Mai will keep you wanting more. Cheers, Caroline.
Chiang Mai is a great foodie destination and this is a great food guide to Chiang Mai!
I keep fond memories of a restaurant called Coconut Shell in Chiang Mai. I have had some great and inexpensive food there.
Thank you so much. Didn’t come across Coconut Shell in Chiang Mai, what was your favorite dish from there?
Laab Kai Mueang Pan Waen sounds yummy. I like that the locals go to the place and it isn’t as touristy. Having a food guide to steer you to the restaurant all the locals frequent is handy.
So glad you like this local food guide, Chris. The idea is to go local and explore the local flavors 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I’m not an adventurist eater but banana blossom pork sounds amazing! I think I would enjoy the jackfruit curry salad and fried papaya salad intrigues me. Absolutely not on the frog curry lol
Don’t blame you on the frog curry 🙂 It was not as bad as it sounds, though there are other more interesting local options available. The fried papaya salad was a first and a delicious take on the regular papaya salad. Cheers.
We missed Chiang Mai on our last visit. Looks like we missed some good food. Great to start in a place like Huen Muan Jai for a broad introduction to northern Thai cuisine. It looks like Tong Tem Toh would be worth the lineups. So great that a food tour introduced you to a place like Laab Kai Mueang Pan Waen that you might not have otherwise found. This meat eater would head to Toy Roszab for a bbq feast. We won’t miss Chiang Mai on a return trip to Thailand.
No worries, Linda. Keep this food guide handy for your next trip to Chiang Mai. All the places you mentioned are good bets!! Thanks for stopping by.
This is a great guide to Chiang Mai’s restaurant scene. I love the decor at Huen Phen, and the food looks incredibly delicious as well, especially the laarb. Love those lettuce wrapped foods, so easy to eat! What strikes me most about all the restaurants are the modest prices – so much food for so little. It’s amazing.
You are right Claudia, many local restaurants offer amazing delicacies at very reasonable prices. We hope this guide invites travelers to Chiang Mai to eat local and explore the local specialties. Thanks for stopping by.
We were amazed at how different Northern Thai food was than Southern. I think my favorite might have been the Cosmic Cat Cafe, but more for the kittens ;). By the time we reached Chiang Mai we were just recovering from the water in Railay. It sounds like we need to go back and eat our way around town.
A special trip to Chiang Mai is required just for the food 🙂 Indeed, northern food specialties are different and worth exploring. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh my some of those dishes look so good. I’ve never been to that part of the world but what beautiful restaurants to visit.
Thanks, Tammy. Glad you liked the article. Are there any particular dishes that stand out for you?
I love this post. I would try every single one of these over and over again!
Lol…and that would be a great idea. Thanks for stopping by.
I have just started eating Thai food. I would not mind trying more authentic restaurants out.
I don’t travel much, but there is a member of my extended family who does. I’ll pass this on to her. I know she’ll appreciate it!
I’ve been to Chiang Mai! It’s one of my favorite cities, lots of great food. Can’t wait to go back.
Are you going back soon, Rika? Definitively keep this handy food guide with you for an amazing exploration into the local food scene. Cheers.
Thanks for the tips on where to find great Thai restaurants! My hubby and I love Thai food and are always in search of authentic restaurants to try when traveling abroad. This will come in handy. I’m glad that you added street food to your list!
You are most welcome, Nancy. Are you planning on a Chiang Mai trip soon?
Those all look like some amazing restaurants. I love thai food. It’s one of my favorites! They have such amazing dishes.
Thanks for posting this list! If I ever go to Northern Thailand, I will know where to eat!
These all sound so good! I would love to try any one of these places! They are making me hungry!
Now, these all sound like some amazing restaurants to go and try out! What a range of items it seems like they have ready for people to try.
Everything looks amazing! The food is so affordable. I can’t wait to visit and try some these restaurants.
I’ve actually never had thai food before. I really should try it one day. I’m sure I’d like the dishes.
I have heard that Chiang Mai is very vegan/vegetarian-friendly, which is one of the many reasons I would love to visit. I know I will make it happen 🙂
Really excellent recommendations!
Thanks so much Matt. Truly appreciate it!!
