Huen Phen

Chiang Mai


Huen Phen restaurant serves a comprehensive, and usually quite delicious, selection of northern Thai food in an antique bric-a-brac and plant-filled house that feels more like a garden. It's phenomenally popular, so come early or face a long wait for a table. We loved the Burmese-style pork curry.
