Tong Tem Soh is a traditional Northern Thai restaurant with quite extensive menu selections. Ambience is pretty basic, foods are quite delicious with reasonable prices.

We had been given a recommendation for this restaurant thru our hotel and since they had been spot on the entire time with their recommendations we thought that we would try it out. First of all we ordered the hors d’oeuvres plate. Most of it...was cold. Maybe that was how it was supposed to be but I’ve just never ate cold sausage or whatever that meat was. Then came our dinner. My husband had soup with pork and something else and it was average. I had curry chicken with rice. My chicken was ice cold. I called over the server and asked for it to be redone. They stuck it in the microwave and brought it back to me. Then when we went to pay our bill we were told they didn’t accept credit cards. I never saw a sign that said that. Luckily we had enough baht to cover it. Our bill was 788 baht. We gave them 1000 baht and they brought us back 112 baht. I called over our server and said you shorted us 100. He took it back up to the cash register and I could see him talking or maybe it was laughing with the person who was running the register. Eventually we got or correct change. Overall experience was less than par.More

Définitely a restaurant for the people who are living in Chiang Mai. Popular, moderne, clean and local flavours... Full of local flavours. Don t expect a cuisine for tourist and try to be local without complex and... Spice 😁. The service is perfect, restaurant airy...and really clean. If you want be far from the touristic Road.. Go for itMore

Passed by here on a tour and it looked really lively! I went and forgot to tell them my spice tolerance is low (my goof) but from what I did enjoy I liked it. Seems like a local spot!

This restaurant serves Northern Thai cuisine and located in the Nimman vicinity. The ambient is relaxing and set in an open air house. Their specialty include vegetables with chilli dip, Northern sausages, clear spicy soup, fried pork belly and also the Burmese pork curry. All...the food was very delicious. The quality of the food was very good. The portion of the food was just right and the price too. The only Northern dish missing from the menu is the Khao Soi noodle.More

This restaurant was recommended by my friend who lives in Chiang Mai and she did not let me down. I was there in year 2018. All of the menus were very good. Food was served very fast whether there were many customers in the restaurant....In the menu included many Northern food. my most favorite menu is Northern Larb. It was so flavorful and you can request your level of spiciness. Moreover, the price is also reasonable which is not too expensive and the atmosphere in the restaurant feel relax and decorated with northern style.More

I went there with friends for the first time. I would say that I expected that there was a very long queue before our arrival and it was indeed. We waited approximately 30 minutes for a table even though we preserved a queue on a...mobile application. But it's worth the wait! We ordered A LOT OF FOOD and it turned to be very delicious! I don't care whether locals have been telling me that this restaurant serves northern food that is modified to fit the taste of non-locals. It was indeed a blissful meal. You should try. I think you won't be disappointed at all.More

Excellent value for top notch Northern Thai dishes in a relaxed and beautiful open air restaurant. Very popular with Thais. The Burmese curry with fatty pork is to die for.

Had to queue for 40mins even though I had made advance reservation via QueQ app. But I must say the staff estimates the queue time very well, so if you might want to ask them before walking away upon seeing the snaking queue. Only ordered...3 meat dishes shared among 2 of us as we weren't very hungry. Food came pretty fast and were hot. Some staff spoke better English than others. Accept credit card for payment.More
