Han Teung Chiang Mai

Haan Thueng Chiang Mai is a famous Northern Thai restaurant in Chiang Mai. It is located near Wat Umong Soi, behind Chiang Mai University. Although it’s not right in the city center, both locals and tourists regularly visit for its authentic cuisine.

⭐ The restaurant has been recommended by the Michelin Guide for five consecutive years, a strong testament to its consistent quality and outstanding flavors.

Atmosphere

The ambiance is simple and welcoming, reflecting traditional Northern Thai style. Dining here feels like enjoying a homemade meal at a local family’s house. The restaurant is often full, especially in the evenings and on weekends.

Signature Flavors

The menu focuses on true “Lanna-style” flavors, without adjusting the taste to suit tourists. The dishes are bold, aromatic, and rich in traditional spices.

• Northern-style appetizer platter (a variety of local specialties served together)
• Gaeng Hang Lay (Northern-style pork curry) with well-balanced, fragrant spices
• Nam Prik Noom (roasted green chili dip) served with vegetables and crispy pork rind
• Northern Thai sausage packed with herbs

• Northern-style dry spicy minced pork (Larb Kua)

Many reviewers say, “Every dish is delicious — there’s no weak menu item,” and the portions are considered generous for the quality offered.

Who It’s Perfect For

• Those who want to experience authentic Northern Thai cuisine
• Travelers looking for a truly local restaurant that Chiang Mai residents actually dine at
• Families or groups of friends who enjoy sharing multiple dishes

⭐ It is highly recommended to make a reservation in advance, as the restaurant gets very busy, especially during peak tourist seasons.
