Northern food in Bangkok?

[andrewrooney]

Any reccomendations on where to find Northern Thai food in Bangkok? I can't throw a rock without hitting an Isaan place or a Southern curry place but Northern food seems pretty elusive. There was a stand in the food court at The Mall Bangkapi that had pretty good kao soi, but it's gone now. There was a lady selling kao soi at the food park at Ramkamhaeng 127 as well, but she's not there anymore either. Some gang hunglae or other Northern food would be great too. Any ideas? I'm in Bangkapi, but other areas are fine also.

Try the JJ Mall food court at Chatachak.

There is a vendor that has really good khao soy and several other dishes.

This place looks very nice and each time I walk by there it is full of people. This is there Facebook Link https://www.facebook.com/pages/Northeast-Restaurant/304171426309530

Sounds like an Isaan place, not Lanna, but it sure does look good.

"Rod Niyom" is a chain, they have a great Khao Soi. Had lunch yesterday at the Paradise Park branch. Not quite as good as I've had in Phrae, at an awesome place in the provincial capital.

OP again, thought I'd report back. After watching the whole Youtube clip I saw that one of the restaurants mentioned, Mahn Muang, is about a five minute drive from my place, and stays open until 9 PM! I went ahead and gave it a go. It's in Ramkamhaeng 112, if anybody else in the area is looking for northern food I would definitely recommend it. It's in an old-fashioned looking wooden house. Very nice atmosphere, lots of plants. Good kao soi, very flavorful, not overly sweet or creamy like I've had at some other places. They have a full menu of northern food, not just kao soi. An English language menu is available, one of the waiters spoke some English also. Fairly inexpensive, one bowl of kao soi, a coke, and a takeaway order of nam prik ong with veggies set me back 120 baht all together. I'll definitely be going back.

Thanks again lomatopo for the video

If you are in Bangkapi, I highly recommend you hightail it up Ramkhamhaeng to Mooban Summakorn (Ramkhamhaeng Soi 112).

There is a highly authentic Northern restaurant in there called Marn Muang, in an old Thai-style building.

You want to be there.

There's a map and a bunch of photos here:

Fairly certain this is the same place in both the video and reviewed in andrewrooney's post.

[NewlyMintedThai]

You're right...I didn't see that last post.

Glad he found it.

[andrewrooney]

The very same! I actually went back again this weekend and took my girlfriend. She absolutely loved it. She wants to bring her dad next time; he's from Nan so maybe he can give me some tips on what the best stuff to order is

[NewlyMintedThai]

I recommend the stuffed, fried chilis (prik ua), sausages (sai ua), nua khem, kaeng khae, kaeng hanglay, nam prik noom, larb neua, fried chicken...it's all good, actually.

In Bangna you can try out Kaylang House, they have a lot of excellent northern dishes. Personally I love the Northern Thai Spicy Sausage!

You can also order delivery to your home within Phra Khanong or Bangna. Just go to "GoTasty" website and they will have Kaylang House in their list.
