Yunnanese Restaurant
This open-air place in the Chinese village of Ban Santichon serves the traditional dishes of the town's Yunnanese residents. Standouts include màntŏ (steamed buns), here served with pork leg stewed with Chinese herbs. There are several dishes using unique local crops and other dishes involving exotic ingredients such as black chicken. Or you could always go for the excellent noodles, made by hand and topped with a delicious mixture of minced pork, garlic and sesame. The restaurant is in an open-air adobe building behind the giant rock in Ban Santichon, about 4km west of Pai.

This very simple family-run teashop-cum-Yunnanese place has an English-language menu of local specialities including local mushroom fried with soy sauce, or the delicious air-dried pork fried with fresh chilli.

Chinatown
Chiang Mai's small Chinatown is located on Th Ratchawong, north of Th Chang Moi. Here you'll find a whole string of inexpensive Chinese rice and noodle shops, most of them offering variations on Tae Jiu (Chao Zhou) and Yunnanese cooking. Recommended is Aomngurn, next to the New Mitrapap Hotel. This funky looking place with blackboard signs outside serves fantastic grilled chicken and various Chinese/Thai dishes. There are English menus.

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao
The tongue-twistingly long name of this excellent Singaporean chain refers to the restaurant's signature wheat noodles (la mian) and the famous Shanghainese steamed dumplings (xiao long pao). If you order the hand-pulled noodles, allow the staff to cut them with kitchen shears, otherwise you'll end up with evidence of your meal on your shirt.

Ran Nam Tao Hu Yong Her
Although the name of this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shophouse eatery translates as ‘soy milk restaurant’, the emphasis here is on northern Chinese cuisine – a rarity in Bangkok. Try the Shanghainese speciality xiao long bao, described on the menu as ‘small steamed bun’, actually steamed dumplings encasing a pork filling and rich hot broth that pours out when you bite into them.

Kuaytiaw Kai Tun Coke
This small food shop, directly opposite the main entrance to the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel, prepares a unique version of gŏoay đĕeo gài đŭn yah jeen. Here the chicken is marinated in Coca-Cola and spices overnight, then steamed and served with rice noodles. It’s actually quite good and has become famous as far away as Bangkok.

Ruamjai
Ruamjai (0 7622 2821; Th Ranong; dishes 50-200B; ;lunch & dinner) Delicious veggie eats are offered at this spartan, open-fronted Chinese restaurant. It's a bit noisy with the background traffic noise, and very popular. The service is quite swift, some say too swift.
