Amphai Northern Thai Food Club

Located in a strip mall next to a smoke shops is this small non-descript Thai restaurant. Don’t be fooled by looks, because the food slaps. It also has a small lot, so epic win. Full-disclosure I have not eaten inside and have only come in for take out, and usually when I’m not feeling well. What have I gotten? Their shrimp and rice porridge! It’s an amazing soup. Rice, spices, cilantro and a clean crisp broth. The broth is almost clear, but carries such a complex flavor. I think I taste garlic? The shrimp is plentiful, plump, and bouncy. It comes with two types of vinegar to further enhance the amazing flavor. If you’re feeling ill, I definitely suggest this!

I love the food. It's incredible. You should definitely try it. I used to order takeout from here through Doordash all the time. They're fast and offer good value. Five stars for all that. The dine-in experience is quaint. All the staff are kind and considerate. They're open till 2am. Go!

It’s a very small mom n pop shop that i found randomly when i was craving khao soi. ( free front parking). Only a few small tables inside so is a more suitable for takeout orders typa place but we got a table to dine in. The taste n service did not disappointed like other reviewers said, might have been one of the best I’ve ever received ngl. Food came out v quick and they open super late so that’s great. We ordered: - Chicken Khao Soi ($14): ultra flavourful creamy n filling, chicken was so tender the meat fell of the leg bone. One of the damn best thing to get here, so good that i bought another to go after! 😆😆 - Gang Kae Gai ($14): chicken sweet and soud soup w veggie. INSANELY SPICY we were sweating while eating it. It was very delish but it is so not for the faint of heart 😭😭 Bill cam

I’ll be honest—I’m not a big fan of Thai food in general. But my Thai friends brought me here and they love it, saying, “It’s legit.” So that definitely says something. If you’re not Thai or not used to authentic Thai flavors, be aware that some dishes can be very spicy. Personally, I didn’t find the food all that exciting, but I also haven’t visited that many Thai places, so I won’t pretend to be an expert. If you already enjoy Thai cuisine, this might be a great spot for you. But if you’re trying it for the first time and prefer a more traditional, sit-down vibe (instead of plastic forks and a casual setup), this place might not be your jam.

Very lovely little store, the owner lady is so nice, makes me feel like home. And the food is absolutely delicious, I can tell many Thai people visit there.
