Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Accidentally ran into this Coffee n Restaurant. It's a huge open space by the river front. Can host a banquet. Chinese, Thai and Western food served here. Services staff is great. Food is tasty, the portion is large. Prices are decent, some can be cheap for the setting. The view of the river is chill. Highly recommended when you're in Chiang Rai."
"We had a splendid diner in a great environment, romantic view over the river, the portions are bigger as usual. The fried fish northern style was the best ever, made in delicious herbs and served ready to eat. The Thai dessert was at first sight simple but omg this was so mouthwatering we could order a second one. The service was excellent, fast and efficient"
