Khao Soi Nimman | Chiang Mai

MORE EDWINA CURRIE, THAN A WINNING CURRY

Selling Khao Soi this bad in a city famed for the golden bowl is tantamount to treason. Khao Soi Nimman also charge a premium on their bowl, yet underdeliver catastrophically, despite being mentioned by the Michelin men.

The broth is insipid, thin, tasteless. The noodles boring, and the beef average. Nothing in this plate speaks of love or affection, more of an operation to redeem tourist dollars in exchange for a half-assed taste of something famous. 

Of all the dishes we tried the satay at least resembled what satay should taste like. The pickles were mediocre. So was the sauce.

The beef was one of the most diabolical dishes I have been served in my life. In the menu photos it looked achingly tender and kissed with fire, but what appeared was a dead ladies leg boiled in lukewarm water -grey as a day in Hull. 

I don't like dissing restaurants since everyone is having a hard time these days, but you cannot be allowed to get away with this.


Premium prices for diabolical food.


No thank you!.

No matter whether you prefer your ramen Halal or porkified, we have scoured the city top to bottom to find the ramen shops that deserve the hype or slip by unnoticed. Our bonafide broth-worshipper has attacked them in order and formation, and if you don't see a shop in here the chances are we've eaten there but didn't feel it justified the top 10.
