Have yet to meet anyone that doesn't like a good Khao Soi.
Unfortunately most experience them in a touristy Thai-Western restaurant when they put it together there and then, rather than a traditional Northern Khao Soi restaurant, where it's made and served properly.
The same half a dozen or so Khao Soi restaurants appear on various Top 5 Khao Soi websites.
The first one to try was Khao Soi Mae Sai, near the corner of the moat on the way from Doi Suthep/CMU.

Khao Soi Mae Sai
A small, unremarkable looking Thai restaurant along a suburban little soi.
Absolutely fantastic.
The noodles were perfect, the fried noodles were light and done to perfection, ie, not even close to being too hard.
The chicken had been perfectly marinaded, fantastic flavour and fell off the bone. Tremendously succulent and tender.
The curry rich and oozing with flavours, without being too over powering.
Certainly the best I've ever experienced.

Which is comically cheap for what you get.
9.7/10.
-0.3 due to the onions being chopped in a manner that they're still all connected to each other.
Chop off the bottom piece please, so you have pieces of individual pieces, not 1/4 of an onion that's still attached to itself.
Side note.
Got some bags take-away, one of which was beef. Unfortunately the beef meat was still attached to some big flappy piece of skin, or inner mucus flappy thing.
Puts children and Lulu right off. Clean chunks of beef please.
