This Mee Ra Mee Shredded Chicken shop is not fancy or extravagant, but the deliciousness hidden in each bowl impresses me every time I eat it. The Mee Ra Mee noodles are chewy and soft, the broth is richly flavored from slow simmering with a fragrant sweetness, and the shredded chicken is tender and delicate. It is served with fresh vegetables and side dishes that complete the flavor.

The last time I arrived in Chiang Rai, I stayed at Suknirand Hotel, located next to the Clock Tower. It’s perfect for those who want to stroll in the evening and easily find food in the morning because this area is full of local restaurants and lively markets.

After walking around the Saturday night walking street “Kad Chiang Rai Ram Luek,” which is not far from the hotel, I stopped by the Mee Ra Mee Shredded Chicken shop in the morning. The aroma of the broth and shredded chicken, simmered until tender, wafted from afar, awakening my appetite and preparing me for more sightseeing.

How to Get There and the Atmosphere Around the Shop

The Mee Ra Mee Shredded Chicken shop is located in the heart of Chiang Rai city. It’s very convenient to get there. If you arrive at Chiang Rai Airport, taking a taxi or renting a car is easy. For those staying downtown like me, it’s just a few hundred meters’ walk from Suknirand Hotel. The shop looks simple, like a typical local Chiang Rai eatery, but the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

In the morning, you’ll see locals coming to buy food continuously, including both residents and tourists who want to experience the authentic taste of Northern food without excessive seasoning.

Taste and Impressions from mr.hotsia

The Mee Ra Mee Shredded Chicken here is made fresh daily. The noodles have a smooth, soft texture in the mouth. The broth is simmered for a long time, extracting sweetness from the chicken and bones, with a mild Northern spice aroma that isn’t overpowering. The shredded chicken pieces are large and pair perfectly with the noodles and broth. Sometimes I like to squeeze a bit of lime for a slight tang or add dried chili for a spicier kick according to my preference.

What makes this dish stand out is its simplicity filled with the care of the cook, making you feel like you’re eating a warm homemade meal with every bite.
