Kiti Panit

the food was good. i like the boiled cabbage, Hungle soup and chicken with corriander salad. the stir fried veg was good as well. The service was average. The decoration is old school vibe.

TL;DR: Elevated Thai with elevated prices. I would rate Kiti Panit a solid 3.5 stars out of 5. This will be one of the pricier meals you'll have in Chiang Mai. We had the Larb, Fermented Tea Leaf Salad, and Crying Tiger Beef. The Larb and Tea Leaf Salad were decent, but the Crying Tiger Beef was amazing. Service was average. There wasn't anything that stood out good or bad. The restaurant is set in an old general store and provided a great atmosphere. There were displays of old artifacts throughout which really brought out the history of the location. Based on our experience, I would say give this place a try. The Crying Tiger Beef is worth it! Maybe order something else besides the Larb and Tea Leaf Salad though. Note: Cocktails are on the light side. We could barely taste any alcohol. They were delicious, but you won't get a buzz from just one.

Went to a Michelin guide recommended restaurant. Atmosphere is good, old shop house that turned into a restaurant preserving its 5 generation of roots. The food is alright, nothing outstanding or had a wow factor. Kao Soi was basically curry mee with mee pok [just a little overrated]. Jackfruit salad and northern pork curry were pretty good and was a little different from the standard Thai food. Jackfruit salad is a little bit nearer to the fish sauce side if you prefer less I would avoid this. Overall a pretty decent restaurant, a little bit spenny compared to standard prices. But a nice place to bring friends/ family around for a special occasion

The food are with strong flavours. Curry slightly on salty, need to have with rice. Feel a bit uneasy as the staffs keep coming back and ask if ready to take order.

First meal in Chiang Mai and tried Kiti Panit as it is located near where I stay. Food portion was sufficient for 4-5 pax. (I ordered 4 dishes for 5 pax)Taste wise, it somehow reminded me of Peranakan food though, especially the pork curry. But the food should be good for tourists outside of ASEAN, as I expected a stronger taste. Nevertheless the Aeb Pla (grilled fish) was good and recommend to try that dish. Service was good though and I appreciate the patience from the service staff.

Tbh the worst food experience so far since I arrived in Chiang Mai… hot water costs 35B. Rice was hard ( in my opinion they mix new and old rice). Service is not attentive. It was basically empty and it’s still not easy to catch the waiters attention somehow. But it doesn’t stop them charging you service fee! One dish with pork and vegetables they charge 300b… and it’s tasteless! Incredible how they run the business like this.

In surprising delicacies in the historical building The service staff enthusiastically recommends dishes that hit the taste buds 👍 The delicious dinner is accompanied by the service staff's flower-like smiles 😋😉🌻❤️ It is so satisfying 😇 It is worth coming here to taste the food 👍

Great mango sticky rice and fresh, cold basil and lime tea. That’s all I had. Great old school general store. Super nice people.
