    Really good place for sunset watching, getting few beers and listen to live music by a very talented Thai guy, food and drinks are cheap and very tasty, plenty of space, restrooms are nice and very acomodating, service is very quick and always attentive with a smile. Relaxing and chill restaurant by the river. Would definitely go back for the experience.

    Nice view of the river. If it's not too hot outside I recommend sitting outside. And order the northern Thai mixed appetizer so you can try everything Chiang Mai is known for

    The atmosphere is good along the river. It's a good place to come with your lover. The outdoor seats are beautiful and the atmosphere is nice, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.

    Had a great time here. We went for dinner and had a table outside, by the river. The live music (acoustic guitar) was really nice and not too loud. We really enjoyed the vibe as well as the quality for money of the food and drinks. I would definitely return there for it's relaxed atmosphere and tasty local food.

    The view is so great and the place has a chilled out vibe! I went there thrice during my 5 day stay... and enjoyed the new drinks they used to come up with. Ofcourse north Thailand has the best food and this place makes it worth spending time and money.

    I've been here once and had an awfully bad experience. I ordered a plate of garlic fried shrimp with request for fresh shrimp. They brought me a plate of fried shrimp with frozen shrimp that was bland and tasteless. I called the waiter and asked him. He told me at the restaurant that only serves frozen shrimp and seafood, not fresh. They charged the plate of shrimp for 299B. That price is unacceptable. An old manager wouldn't even let me go out to the area outside the river to take pictures. They completely ruined my dinner.

    Beautiful river location to eat at. Lovely staff. Solid restaurant with a wide menu. Good as a first stop for a tourist. I ordered a bit much for one person, but worth the experience ☺️. Would like to come back for the basque cheesecake if time allows.

    We tried this place for the first time tonight with friends and LOVED IT!! It was two couples and 5 kids between us and we had a great time. The servers were very attentive, the food arrived crazy fast and was excellent (ESP. the Lemon Chicken and Mango Sticky Rice!!). The ambiance was chic and fun with live music and picturesque lights over the river. Perfect evening out! We’ll definitely be back.

    (Translated by Google) In the morning the atmosphere is very good, there is a cool breeze, the breakfast is ok, but the vegetables decorated are old and a little bruised, but I don't mind. Hot coffee latte, I really like it. Overall okay. You must try it in the evening and will come more 😁👍👍 (Original) ตอนเช้าบรรยากาศดีมากครับ มีลมพัดเย็นๆ อาหารเช้าก็โอเคแต่ผักตกแต่งเก่าและช้ำนิดหน่อยแต่ผมไม่ว่าอะไรนะ กาแฟลาเต้ร้อนชอบมากครับ โดยรวมโอเคนะครับ ต้องลองมาตอนเย็นดูแล้วจะมาเพิ่มเติมให้😁👍👍

    This place is located right next to the Ping river, which guarantees a breeze. It can become a bit hot if you go early afternoon. Food is good and not that expensive.

    Lovely restaurant with reasonable prices. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The location is awesome, they have a lot of tables right next to the river, in a couple of meters from it. A great place to spend an evening.

  • 3/5 Gal F. 2 years ago on Google
    its location and atmosphere are ok (really near the river, not too noisy). a lot of drinks that in the menu are not available. they don't serve coffee in the evening (was there at ~19), not serve most of shakes/juices, the juices they do have are very sweet. there was no beer (because of covid).

    Went for dinner. Great atmosphere sitting next to the river with chill live music. All of the four dishes we ordered were delicious. Service was good and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. All in all, a new favourite in Chiang Mai.

  • 5/5 Catherine C. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the riverside location. Came for coffee and was looking forward to the cheesecake everyone raved about. Unfortunately, this wasn't available. My husband later joined me for a small meal. We love the tasty food, big menu and reasonable prices. We will be back.

    Regular Thai food. It's nice that the location is along the river. I didn't like that our drinks were served in plastic cups. But great place for a simple but nice meal.

  • 4/5 Jocelyn C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place by the river to dine. We started outside, moved indoors when it started to rain. Indoors was a little noisy. Although we went early in the evening, they had already run out of duck and crispy pork - disappointed with this. Food is good. It is a little more expensive than a lot of places, worth the extra for the experience.

  • 5/5 Robin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place for great food and service. Highly recommended for families & couples looking for a relaxing and enjoyable ambiance.

  • 5/5 Nigel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view and setting by the river with excellent service and food at very reasonable prices. No wine on the menu but you can bring your own or buy from across the street - live music!

  • 4/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    We are on a 5 week food safari of Chiangmai and Surat Thani, seeking out authentic local food that we can't get at home in Australia. Khualek is a pretty restaurant with glorious sunset views of the city. It was full when we arrived, so it is popular with tourists. There were no locals there. The staff are attentive and helpful. The menu is extensive. Unfortunately you can only buy whiskey, limited brands of beer, vodka buckets or fruit juice. The place would make a killing on cocktails. Perfect spot for a sunset mai tai. During our first visit here last week had a few issues, but we decided to give them a second chance. We started with the crab head fat with sticky rice, and that has very interesting flavour and texture. The gaeng hung le moo was delicious. The sauce was very rich and flavoursome, with ginger and pepper coming through without overpowering the dish. We needed more sticky rice! We also had the deep fried tilapia with crispy lemongrass ginger and basil leaves. It was easily 10/10. They should never change anything with this recipe - it was spot on, and the hero of the whole menu in our view. Khualek is not crazy expensive, If we hadn't had the issues last week, it would have scored 5/5. We are glad we went back. We'll be back again before we go.

    What a delicious delight this place is. Live acoustic guitar. Reservations suggested if you want a good table outside. All tables are big and spacious. The food is excellent. The service and people are even better! You won't go here once. You'll go back for more. Recommended

  • 5/5 Brad D. 3 years ago on Google
    On the river dining. Food is excellent but parking can be a challenge during busy times. Very calm relaxing atmosphere. Staff of course are always nice. The coffee is very good too. The two criteria I go by for cappuccinos are: 1. Is it bitter or smooth? 2. Does it taste like milk or coffee? If it’s smooth and tastes like coffee, it gets an A in my book. This cappuccino got a B+. It was just a little bitter but had a good coffee taste.

  • 4/5 Adam T. 4 years ago on Google
    Overall, with a good ambience, this Thai restaurant is nice for enjoying the river and hearing a little live music while you eat and or drink, or enjoy their many cakes and pies. The food is decent, albeit more expensive (about 100-200 baht per dish), but the setting is very nice. It is worth checking out, in my opinion.

  • 4/5 N B. 5 years ago on Google
    Great location, good service and delicious seafood. The restaurant setting was very romantic, right by the river. Everything we tried off the menu was delicious. The prices are a bit on the expensive side but you are paying for the location. Good attentive service... Will definitely go back!

    Chiang Mai have 2 or 3000 cafés. At Kbualek are one of them. It's a very quit and relaxing place very near River Ping. I love to have my morning tea there and let me dream with the slowly river. Of course a good control for C-19 makes also we all feel us safe together there.
