By the time we left every seat was full (all foreigners). The staff was very attentive. The food was delicious.Curry was fantastic! If we ever HAVE to have curry this is where we will come while in Chiang Mai! We LOVE cabbage and there fried cabbage was GREAT!

    Ate here a few weeks ago and we were so impressed! We had a papaya salad and the pork leg which was incredible and well priced. We were so sad we only found this gem on our last day in Chiang Mai as we would have definitely kept coming back. Highly recommend!

    I had 5 dishes total, including 2 dishes they recommend. Overall, good Thai food for good prize, but not as tasty as many reviews. What do most Westerners know about Thai food? Probably, not much. For me, the dishes are a little too sweet and not enough spice. It lacks the awakening punch and flavor. I would rather pay a little extra for a better, authentic, tasty Thai food. A little bit too much MSG and sugar. However, their fruit smoothie is very good and tasty!

    This place is absolutely superb. The khao soi was possibly the best dish I ate in Thailand. Tom Yum soup was also excellent. This is an absolute must-visit if you are in Chiang Mai and you want to eat authentic Thai food.

    The massaman curry is truly a dish to come for. Ordered the small one (B180) with rice and it was enough for 2. Half way through and there was still so much beef in it (attached photo). Tender too. Curry was creamy and the fresh coconut aroma blended well with spices and chunky peanuts. Spice is mild enough to even be noticed. Attached their full menu so head over to the view menu section to check them out. ^^v

    I had dinner twice (so far) at Pakorn's Kitchen during my stay in Chiang Mai (maybe I will go again before I leave Chiang Mai). This is a very nice and relaxing place to have a very good Thai meal. Food is delicious and well presented. Also, the staff is efficient and friendly. You can sit inside or outside. I think it is a family run business as I have seen the family (I assume) sitting outside and having a chat together which is very nice to see.

    One of the best thai food restaurants had tried ever! We ordered masaman curry soup it was ful of spices and unique flavors. Medium size bowl were enough for 3-4 persons. We had a little chat with chef Pakorn he mentioned he makes the home maid curry paste from the scratch. We likes the fried rice with vegetables and pad thai with chicken too. The price were fair. There is Music and good ventilation. Highly recommended ✅

    Simply the best Massaman (beef) I had, very tastyful, enjoyable amount of spice and appetizering colours. Highly recommended. M is a very filling portion if you are hungry. I wouldn't recommend taking rice, as the potatoes are quite sufficient. + Friendly chat with the cook.

    Pakorns kitchen is an excellent location if you enjoy Thai food and especially Northern Thai food the prices are very reasonable and you won’t be disappointed with the cuisine

    Delicious Thai food with a focus on northern cuisine. We ate here several times while in Chiang Mai. We can recommend: any of the slow cooked pork dishes, beef noodles, stir fried spicy beef, papaya salad, crispy pork with kale. We tried other meals as well. Limited drinks menu - it's all about the food here.

    The foods here were so good! We ordered Kao Soi (chicken-small) and Massaman curry (chicken-small). The portions were generous and good enough for two person. I would definitely visit this place again to try other dishes. Ps: Don’t get fooled by the look of the place. Totally worth to visit this place

    (Translated by Google) We were unlucky given the many good reviews. The four of us were very friendly. Three took something with chicken, one with pork. Pork was great. The sauces / spices for the chicken were also good, but: the chicken itself was inedible for all three. There may be cartilage, but not every second piece. And worse: the meat had a bad taste. Conclusion: everything chicken on the plate, culinary unfortunately a flop. (Original) Wir hatten wohl Pech angesichts der vielen guten Bewertungen. Wir waren zu viert, sehr freundlich empfangen. Drei nahmen etwas mit Chicken, einer mit Pork. Pork war tiptop. Beim Chicken waren die Saucen/Gewürze auch gut, aber: das Pouletfleisch selber war bei allen drei ungeniessbar. Knorpel kann es ja mal geben, aber nicht in jedem 2. Stück. Und noch schlimmer: das Fleisch hatte einen strengen schlechten Geschmack. Fazit: alles Poulet auf dem Teller, kulinarisch leider ein Reinfall.

    I had the shrimp Pad Thai and thai iced tea from Pakorns kitchen. It was delicious and the prices are great. The pad Thai is only 50 Baht. The Thai iced tea was refreshing and it was made with filtered water ice cubes. The staff were friendly and service was quick. I would definitely come back here again.

    Ate here on my first night in Chiang Mai. The food was very good, the service was fast and they all spoke English. The prices were extremely good, my chicken pad thai was only 50 baht and my cold coke was 15 baht. They also asked me how much spice I would like which was awesome. I definitely recommend and will be coming back during the rest of my trip!

  • 3/5 Sutharee W. 9 months ago on Google
    We went there for dinner had Masman curry, seafood curry, and stir-fried bean sprout. I am very disappointed with the Masman curry, the taste and the way it was prepared was not traditional, hence the taste is very strange. Usually, this curry is slowly cooked until the meat and potatoes are tendered. The one that served us has too much coconut milk not proportion to curry paste. The spices used in the curry was off and the meat was not tender. If you are looking for authentic Thai curry this is not the way it should be.The seafood curry was good and the bean sprout was okay. The staff are polite and service is fast.

    (Translated by Google) It was close to the inn, 10 seconds away, and the store was very expecting because it was highly rated by Google. There are 10 seats in the store, 20 outdoors and half outdoors. The seat on the roadway side is significantly affected by exhaust gas. (I was changed halfway outside) Ordered seafood basil, chicken basil and som tam. The previous two asked for half the pain, but Som Tam was not heard. It may have been because of high expectations, but the fried basil felt that each ingredient was delicious and nicely made, but the sauce was not delicious and it seemed to kill the ingredients. Som Tam was the hardest to eat and tasted good but it was impossible to keep eating. I wanted to challenge again because there were many orders for Khao Soi. (Original) 宿から10秒と近く、Googleの評価が高かったのてかなり期待して訪店。 席は店内10席ほどと野外、半野外合わせて20席ほど。車道側の席は排気ガスの影響をかなり受ける。(途中で半野外に変えてもらった) シーフードのバジル炒めとチキンのバジル炒め、ソムタムを注文。前の2つは辛さ半分てお願いしたがソムタムは聞かれなかった。 期待が高かったせいもあったかもしれないが、バジル炒めの方は1つ1つの食材は美味しいし見た目も綺麗に作られていたがソースが美味しくなく食材を殺しているよう感じた。 ソムタムは今まで食べた中で1番辛く、味は良いのだが食べ続けるのは不可能でした。 カオソーイの注文が多かったようなのでもう一度挑戦したい。

  • 5/5 Richard S. 3 years ago on Google
    Pakorn's is just round the corner from my hotel. A true delight! Everything is tasty and a value. The Masaman curry is on a different scale - beyond good. Located just outside the southeast corner of old city is worth returning to.

    Khao soi chicken noodle is amazing. The broth is flavorful and the meat is tender.

  • 3/5 Aaron L. 6 months ago on Google
    We saw the reviews so we decided to give it a try. Friendly staff, affordable price was the highlight Food did take a while to come out. Overall it was decent. We felt the taste was a little muted for tourists.

  • 4/5 Raymond T. 6 months ago on Google
    10/Nov This restaurant served good Thai food, not too spicy, suitable for tourist. There was quite a variety to choose from the menu. Be early during dinner, can be many people and have to wait for table. We went there early for dinner but later more people came and have to wait for table.

    We ordered spring rolls for appetizer, pad thai with shrimps and chicken and massaman curry. Everything was very good and delicious. Also the stuff was friendly. Boys had size M (if you are very hungry, you can take L), girls had size M. We would definitely recommed this place! Also prices are affordable. 10/10

  • 5/5 Niklas B. 6 months ago on Google
    If you want to eat real thai food then you should definitely go here. Its a cute little place, really raw but the food is perfect. The prices are also really fine and even the small or medium portions are more than enough. We would recommend to take even size S if possible if you want to try several dishes. So far our favorite street food experience in Thailand.

  • 5/5 Howard D. 10 months ago on Google
    Wow! I like Thai Red Curries, and tried Pakorn's Massaman curry with chicken, and it's now my favorite dish! So creamy and flavourful! My only regret is that I didn't try it until half way through my month in Chiang Mai, but I'll just now need to make up for that in the next 2 weeks :-) . By the way, the picture here is of the Medium size with a side of rice, and is a good one to go with if you're hungry.

  • 5/5 Kate R. 10 months ago on Google

    We keep searching for best beef massaman curry and lucky we found one in Chiang Mai. Soft chunky tender beef and massaman sauce is soo delicious. Crispy pork with basil is another plus to add. Overall excellent! Gem of massaman curry in Chiang Mai!

  • 5/5 Quinton G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Kao Soi in town! I got the medium size and it was a great size. Good price to. Also got noodles with braised porc, also very tasty. Highly recommend this spot! Great authentic Thai food and very friendly staff

  • 4/5 Vanesa H. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered one Basil pork mince with rice, one Tom Yum Kung prawn with noodles, and one Thai milk tea. The Basil pork mince rice is so so. The prawns noodles are with big prawns, it tastes delicious. Overall, it’s ok. But it will be much better if they can replace the MSG with sugar to cook food.

  • 5/5 Lauren C. 11 months ago on Google
    This restaurant has the most amazing food! I had the best meal of my entire trip to Thailand here! Everything was to die for. I’m just so sad that we discovered this place on our last night in Chiang Mai. Otherwise we would’ve visited multiple times!

    (Translated by Google) Yum yum life's restaurant! Curry too! It's such a delicious house! 3 bowls of steam rice It's quite a lot, so if you're very hungry, If not, divide it into one large bowl Two menus came out about 300-400 baht I think there are menus that give little to the bowl as a meal menu.

  • 5/5 Alvin K. 5 years ago on Google
    Everything we ordered tastes good! We didn't have a chance to try the pork leg rice. Khao soi, tomyam noodle and oyster salad are sensational 🏅🏅 it's tomyam is milky and lighter in color but does not lack in flavor at all. Really casual setting, no fancy deco and down to earth menu decor and waiters In my four nights of stay in chiangmai I dined here at least once a day

  • 5/5 robin g. 4 years ago on Google
    Great curry. We were recommended by a friend who visited Thailand last year and we decided to give it a try. Very happy we did. Seemed like a family running the place and felt very homey. The curry and soups were amazing! We ended up going twice. Also to note the sizes are very decent the medium size curry could definitely feed 2 adults so I would recommend the small.
