For nearly 5 decades since the 1980s, Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kad Kom / ข้าวซอยลุงประกิจกาดก้อม / Uncle Prakit's Khao Soi At Kad Kom Market has been serving its signature dish, until January 2018 when it was featured on the Netflix travel documentary television series 'Somebody Feed Phil'. Following this, Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kad Kom became even more popular, and has since garnered a mention in the Michelin Guide.

Ambience at Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kad Kom is the epitome of humble street side stall. Duck under the faded awning to see dimly lit rows of low plastic stools and communal metal tables, where students, labourers, office workers, families, and tourists dine in close and noisy proximity. The walls are splashed with oil stains, yellowed news clippings, and small photos of celebrities who have dined here. Oscillating fans hum overhead, cutting through the humidity and carrying the scent of simmering curry across the alley.

Service at Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kad Kom is incredibly efficient amidst the chaos. The moment you sit, a staff (often a relative of Uncle Prakit, his children, or long-tenured helpers) takes your order. Conversations are brisk, punctuated by pointing or laughter, and steaming bowls of curry egg noodles and side plates of vegetables arrive quickly. Water and other drinks are self-service from the nearby chiller. Staff clean up quickly too, turning around tables for the patiently waiting customers queuing outside.

Food at Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kad Kom is traditional Northern Thai cuisine, focused on curry egg noodles. This is the highlight, and the reason they're famous, as each piping hot bowl entices with its fragrant aroma of spices and the visually-appealing arrangement. Every spoonful delivers the delicious payoff, a gorgeously balanced curry, which locals swear they can eat daily. Portions are large and generous. Prices remain affordable, budget about THB ฿80 / SGD $3 per person.
