WHERE TO EAT The best Khao soi in the world (according to food experts)

"The khao soi curry gravy was outstanding, flavored beautifully with just the right amount of spices, and not to sweet like it can sometimes be. It was rich, but not oily."

"The Khao Soi itself is pretty spectacular. Rich, fragrant, and deeply savory, with a mild heat and just a touch of sweetness."

"Delicious coconut-free tomato and pork-based sauce dished over pea shoots and rice noodles that are shaved, or cut, from a big block of ground, cooked, and pressed rice (they're fantastic by the way, very chewy and bursting with rice flavor)."

"My Favourite Northern Thai Restaurant in Chiang Mai: Khao Soi Samer Jai - The khao soi here is heavily spiced, with a thin but rich broth, finished with a ladle of thick coconut cream."

"Best Khao Soi in Chiang Mai: Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kaat Gorm - Honestly, I would have no grounds to disagree with someone who chose this restaurant as their pick for the number one best bowl of khao soi in Chiang Mai. The food served here is truly awesome, and the richness of flavor, the juicy-ness of their beef, and finally just the massive size of the bowl is all just so heart-warmingly wonderful."

"I like Khao Soi Moo, which is Khao Soi with pork. They serve it with some sliced pork and minced pork. Very tasty."

"Hann Khao Soi serves a bowl of Khao Soi that will be loved by many. Especially by those searching for a creamy bowl. It is one of the best spots in Bangkok, even if it is a tad too creamy for those searching the authentic version."

"You can get a great Khao Soi at Hinlay Curry House which is a real hidden secret so best to visit by taxi."
