Cherng Doi Roast Chicken

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Nimman is this unassuming roast chicken place with delicious food at an affordable price. We got slow roasted chicken, mushroom soup, fried papaya salad and corn som tham. The chicken and papaya salad are must try.

This place really is the best! I’ve had delivery before, but nothing beats eating here in person. The chicken is incredible, and all the salads and soups are so good. And the fried papaya? To die for.

This is a mecca for grilled chicken. If you were to casually pass by, it would look like any ordinary Thai restaurant. I initially went in with no expectations, but when the perfectly cooked chicken arrived, I couldn't contain my surprise. I knew this was a mecca for grilled chicken. Aside from the grilled chicken, the other menu items weren't particularly special. I recommend the cucumber salad. The freshness of the cucumber and the nutty flavor of the peanuts combine perfectly with the steamed rice and chicken.

I was actually looking forward to this grilled chicken as grilled chicken is famous in northern Thai. However, it’s was below expectation, we ordered the recommend dishes those grilled chicken & pork. Not something that surprise us, the grilled chicken is dry and not really flavorful. Somtam is the worst, not making with real lime juice. Kind of disappointed. Staff isn’t welcoming too, no longer land of smile.

We arrived just after 5:30 PM and got seated right away — no wait 🙌 A friend I came with raved about the papaya tempura, and honestly? They were right. Next-level. fried things are always good, but this was gourmet-tier good. Lighter than fries, crispier, and super addictive. I’m already craving it again. The corn som tam was also amazing — sweet, tangy, fresh, and full of flavor. One of the best versions I’ve had in Thailand 🌽💛 this place is known for grilled chicken, but for me… the papaya tempura and corn som tam totally stole the show. The meat dishes were okay, but nothing as memorable as those two plates. If you’re coming, trust me — don’t skip the papaya tempura.

I don't understand why this place has such high ratings. The chicken is bland with no seasoning or sauces served with it. The som tam was fine but fairly standard stuff. I think it might be famous in Chinese social media or something but it's really nothing special. Probably the most boring meal I've had in cnx so far.

Had the roast chicken which was tender juicy and crispy. Mushroom Tom Yam soup was light & refreshing. Tempura papaya salad was unique and went well with the accompanying sauce. All 5 ⭐️ dishes.

It was kinda overvibed , the chicken unfortunately did not live up to my expectation and many Koreans were there when I pay a visit on 12/08/25 , I had better roasted chicken like polo fried chicken from bkk . The corn salad was normal too if you are a fanatic of it like me . There's another popular store within nimman which I yet to try and hopefully I would have the time to before I leave chiangmai . Kinda hard to spot the store too but look out for the big mango tree covering the store .
