Frommer's Review

For authentic northern food, adventurous eaters should try this nondescript garden restaurant. Their khao sawy, filled with egg noodles and crisp-fried chicken bits and sprinkled with dried fried noodles, is spicy and coconut-sweet at the same time. Chiang Mai sausages are served sliced over steamed rice; puffed-up fried pork rinds are the traditional, cholesterol-lover's accompaniment. Dishes are all made to order in an open kitchen, so you can point to things that interest you, including the myriad fried insects and frogs, for which this place is famous. You can even get prepackaged spices and recipes for make-it-yourself dishes back home.
