Chicken grill is juicy and taste good. We request them the Namprik Katiam "Garlic Sauce" aside with their tamarind sauce. This sauce is specialty since very first generation of the restaurant.

I’ve been eating here since I was a kid! Whenever I head to Khao Kho, this is a must-stop. The food tastes amazing, and the portions are huge—honestly, it’s worth way more than the price. The Grilled Chicken is the real deal! so tender and juicy. Plus, they have such a huge variety on the menu. P.S. If you don’t eat spicy food or can’t handle the heat, don’t forget to order ‘less spicy’!

Delicious food and good prices but the chicken are very small. Everything looks very clean and the staff is polite and friendly. If I am in the area then I for sure will be back

Passed through many times and ate at several of the yai yang restaurants, but this time we were visiting a local who recommended this restaurant to meet for lunch midweek. Restaurant was very full at lunchtime. Service was quick. Food was decent but not great.

Great original recipe chicken. Hot cocoa and ice lemon tea are terrible though.
