FolkGuitar Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) The title says it... I'm looking for a good Khao Soi recommendation inside the SuperHighway. My favorite place closed down a few years ago, and I haven't found its equal yet. I do NOT care about the price although I DO want a large serving if the price is high. Cross off Khao Soi MaeSai... I find that mediocre at best. Where would YOU go if you wanted good Khao Soi? Thanks! Edited December 13, 2020 by FolkGuitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill97 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 You know the Muslim Temple just off Chang Klan a block from Thapae. In that Soi coming from Changklan on left side are several shops. The second or third has been there for 30+ years, it may be named Khao Soi Islam. Food prep front right, outside front left gai ping and/or other stuff on sale. Ladies run the kitchen. Longevitity speaks but your taste may be different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JingerBen Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Khao Soi Lamduan in Fah Hahm is usually recommended with good reason. It used to be said that they supplied Phuping when the Royal Family was in residence. My favorite is from a place that used to be opposite the Iron Bridge between Duke's and Rim Ping. A couple of years ago the Sino-Thai lady who had run the place since the late '70s sold up and moved to a shophouse just past the Kawila gate in Sanpakoy Market. Try it, you'll like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grin Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Not quite inside the Super Highway but this has been my favorite Khao Soi place for years. It serves small or large bowls of Khao Soi and my favorite is the Khao Soi Bpla. Khao Soi Restaurant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thanks, folks. Between ThaiVisa postings and those made in other venues where I had requested recommendations, the overwhelming consensus seems to be 'Huen Phen' in the Old City. I'll give that place a try. I'm breaking a strict 'Keto Lifestyle' Diet that I've been following for almost two years, with a three-day non-Keto 'vacation,' and trying to find the best of the various foods I have not been eating for this experiment. Khao Soi, gyoza, Pad Thai, pasta, French Fries, Fruit, croissants, ice cream... I'll probably feel sick as a dog by the third day, but I used to love these foods and sort of miss them. I was really surprised at how much better my body felt after a month of not eating them, to say nothing of the wonderful weight loss, and will go back to the Lifestyle after a couple of days of binging. Thanks again for your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two Khao soi shops in Faham (the one you refer to is one of them) have been closed for many months now. Not out of business but closed until further notice. Recently we saw one of them open - I think it was the other one, and we were told they were only opening a couple of Sunday's here and there when many visitors from Bangkok were in town.

EricTh Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Most of these places have loads of MSG. Is there any shop which don't put MSG into their Khao Soi? Edited December 14, 2020 by EricTh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybole Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 On the corner of Bumrungrat road and its Soi 2 (leading to Sayuri Complex) is a wee muslim restaurant co-ordinates N 18.79075 E99.00870. I have always found it very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingdongrb Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I would first have to ask, since the Super Hwy doesn't go in a circle what is considered 'inside'? My fav Khao Soi place is in Lamphun city......isn't that still 'inside' the Super Hwy.? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this thread has provided me with more than enough recommendations. Please close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
