A place I visited twice during my Chiang Mai trip, a real gem I kept coming back to,

is none other than Mauyum Cafe.

They have such a wide variety of dishes,

making it perfect for sharing different plates with friends,

and the prices are really reasonable,

so I found myself going back just a few days after my first visit.

I'll be sharing my experiences from both visits

and even the specific dishes I re-ordered!

Although it's called a cafe,

it's where you can enjoy a wide variety of Thai dishes and alcoholic beverages.

The vibe was definitely more like a local restaurant.

When I visited,

they had both indoor and outdoor seating.

There were also indoor seats with air conditioning,

so if it's hot, you might prefer a spot inside.

Restrooms were also available inside the establishment.

Menu and Prices

At Mauyum,

you'll find everything from Som Tum to seafood dishes, stir-fries,

and even grilled and fried options, offering a truly diverse selection.

It was perfect for ordering a few different things to share.

During our two visits,

we ordered Pad Thai, Corn Som Tum, Morning Glory, Steamed Seafood Egg,

Coconut Seafood Curry, and Fried Chicken Wings, among other things.

First Visit: Ordered Menu and Review

On our first visit, we paired our meal with some beer

and chose dishes for our main meal along with some complementary sides.

Pad Thai

The Pad Thai came topped with large shrimp

and was served with bean sprouts and chives.

If you're looking for a solid main dish,

this is a perfectly good option to add to your order.

Corn Som Tum

For Som Tum, we ordered the one with corn.

It came with corn, tomatoes, carrots, peanuts, and more

all mixed together.

It was so colorful and just beautiful to look at,

and unlike your usual papaya som tum,

it had a completely different, unique charm.

Morning Glory

We also made sure to order some morning glory.

It's a fantastic side dish that pairs well with so many different Thai dishes,

so it was perfect to add to our order when visiting with a group.

Seafood Steamed Egg

And the dish that truly stole the show for me that day was

the Seafood Steamed Egg.

It comes served in a special pot with a raised center,

where the steamed egg fills the sides,

and a generous helping of seafood crowns the dish.

I loved it so much on my first visit,

that I just had to order it again on my second trip.

If you're wondering what to eat at Ma Oyam,

I'd recommend starting with this dish.

Coconut Seafood Curry

The Coconut Seafood Curry was visually stunning,

as the dish came served directly inside a coconut shell,

making it perfect for snapping some amazing photos.

However, the spices were quite potent,

so it wasn't quite my cup of tea.

Fried Chicken Wings

This dish featured deliciously crispy fried chicken wings

served alongside a tasty dipping sauce.

Maybe it was because we indulged in so many other dishes,

but this one was so memorable that I only recalled it after seeing the photo!

It was a pretty standard dish for me, all things considered.

Second Visit: Menu & Review

I was so impressed by Ma Oyam on my first visit that I just had to return.

This time, we ordered the corn som tum, morning glory, and a meat dish.

Of course, I couldn't forget the steamed egg!

On our second visit, we also enjoyed a bottle of Regency.

Sharing delicious food with friends

was the perfect way to wind down a day of adventures.

After two visits, my absolute top recommendations are:

the Steamed Egg and Corn Som Tum.

Both were so good that I ordered them again after trying them on my first visit,

so if you're new to Ma Oyam, these are definitely worth trying first.

If you're looking for a hearty main course, Pad Thai is a great choice,

and for a delicious side to share, morning glory is always a winner.

Adding them to your order would be a fantastic idea!

Minnie's Planning Tips

1. If you're looking for dinner on the day you arrive in Chiang Mai

This spot is a late-night gem,

perfect for those evenings when your arrival schedule is a bit fuzzy,

making it ideal for dinner or a late-night snack on your first night.

2. If you want to enjoy a late-night meal with drinks

Ma Oyam stays open until the early morning hours,

making it incredibly convenient for those days when your adventures run late.

​

3. If you want to try various Thai dishes with a group

Instead of sticking to just one dish,

you can dive into a spread of som tum, stir-fries, seafood, and fried delights.

It's the perfect restaurant to order a variety of dishes

and savor them together as a group.

Overall Review

Ma Oyam is one of those places I stumbled upon late at night,

and was so thrilled with both the food and the prices

that I ended up going back a second time during the same trip!

If you're on the hunt for a fantastic spot in Chiang Mai to share a variety of Thai dishes with friends

and indulge in a late dinner or a delicious late-night snack,

I wholeheartedly recommend Ma Oyam Cafe, a true Chiang Mai culinary gem.
