About
Khao-Sō-i started in Chiang Mai and runs this two-shophouse branch at the top of Soi Convent, under ten minutes on foot from BTS Sala Daeng. The pitch is fresh house-made noodles and a curry broth you can taste before ordering. The bowls people talk about are the beef shank and brisket khao soi and the fresh-noodle chicken and stewed pork version, which Wongnai lists at roughly 159 to 268 baht. Beyond khao soi there are Sō-i sauce wontons, sai ua katsu and a 279-baht mixed-beef kao lao soup; Grab's Silom list adds hang lay pork curry, nam prik num and pork crackling, with produce trucked down from the north daily. Wongnai reviewers put spend at 251 to 500 baht a head, and KTC's guide estimates about 400. Weekday lunch fills with Silom office workers, but several reviews report no queue mid-afternoon. Its Google score, 4.8 from 5,102 reviews, is the highest on Soi Convent.
