Khao Soi Khun Yai (ข้าวซอยคุณยาย)

Why Khao Soi Khun Yai (ข้าวซอยคุณยาย) is special ?

Unlike many khao sois, which can have a pale, watery coconut stock, this version has a rich, thick, intensely flavoured and dark coloured soup with bite sized off-the-bone chicken pieces and home-pickled cauliflower and cabbage pieces. Moreover, this place is the only one that has beef, and the curry is much more creamy and colorful. Each bowl of Khao Soy will set you back 30-35 baht.

The name is Khao Soi Khun Yai’s- – Grandmother’s Khao Soi would be an English translation — but unfortunately there’s no sign in English

Khao Soi Khun Yaii is open 10:00 until 14:00 Monday to Saturday. Since it can get very popular, the ideal time to pop in would be 11:00 to 12:00 for brunch or early lunch.
