Frommer's Review

Just a short walk south and west of Wat Phra Singh, Huen Phen is a good, authentic place to take a break and eat when temple touring. They have an English menu, but peek in the open kitchen and you'll see an extensive range of local dishes. Of course, there's khao sawy, Chiang Mai's famed Burmese curry with noodle, but try the specialty: khanom jeen nam ngua, a beef stew in a hearty broth. One small dining room has air-conditioning. You can't beat the prices here.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
