A combination of Khao Man Gai and Khao Man Gai Tod. The Khao Man Gai is perfectly moist, maintaining a delicate balance, with the deliciousness of the meat fibers being clearly felt. The Khao Man Gai Tod, with its meat wrapped in batter, is naturally delicious. It is known for its excellent compatibility with jasmine rice. While this restaurant's noodle dishes are also excellent, it was discovered that this dish is equally hard to resist.

In Thai cuisine, dishes with chili peppers are commonly used, not only for their sterilizing properties but also for their ability to make you sweat and lower your body temperature, even in hot weather. Cold Thai dishes are not very common, except for beverages like iced coffee. However, at Shamsan, you can enjoy a very cold Tom Yum Kung cold noodles dish during the summer season. The restaurant is located midway between Hankyu Arashiyama Omiya Station and Nishioji Station, along Shijo Street, about a 12-13 minute walk from either station. The nearest bus stops are Mibuji Road and Shijo Nakashindo, both about a 3-minute walk away. The area is mainly residential or industrial, with Mibu-ji Temple being the only nearby tourist spot. I ordered the Tom Yum Kung cold noodles, which come in three sizes: regular, large, and extra-large, priced at 1150 yen, 1250 yen, and 1350 yen respectively. I remembered it being very spicy and making me sweat a lot about 6-7 years ago, so this time I also ordered a small portion of rice to help reduce the spiciness. It arrived in about 15 minutes, and to my surprise, the soup was much milder than before. While still retaining the tangy spiciness of Tom Yum Kung, it was enjoyable to drink until the end without sweating profusely. The ingredients were all cold, including rice noodles, two whole shrimp, tomatoes, cilantro, red onions, and mushroom-like fungi. Mixing the noodles and ingredients together right after serving enhanced the depth of flavor in the cold noodles. I initially thought Tom Yum Kung wouldn't go well with rice, but the soup actually complemented the rice, and I ended up pouring the soup over the rice like curry. It was a change from my initial plan, but it turned out to be a delicious combination. It was around 1 pm on a holiday, and there were both locals and tourists dining at the restaurant. While everyone else was having the Khao Soi lunch set, I was the only one enjoying the cold noodles. Although Khao Soi is also delicious, I highly recommend trying this limited-time cold noodle dish.

I tried the Tom Yum Kung cold noodles. It is considered one of the world's top three soups. The spiciness of the chili and the acidity of some seasoning are just right. Being served cold makes it easy to eat even in the summer and it becomes addictive. The toppings of shrimp, tomatoes, and coriander are perfect. I will try something different next time.

This is a Thai curry ramen restaurant located in Senbon Daigū. It is situated west of Shijo Omiya on the north side of Shijo Street, just before the JR overpass. Next to it, you'll find a tantanmen shop called Tantan-san and a kimchi shop called Mizuno-san. The restaurant specializes in Khao Soi, a Thai curry ramen, and is an offshoot of the Thai curry restaurant Sham, located in Marucho. The interior has a coat hanger at the front, self-serve water refill station, counter seats, and tables for larger groups. I ordered the Thai curry ramen with red curry soup, double meat, and added a boiled egg and cilantro on the side. The soup was mild and delicious, with a good mix of chicken and pork meat. The chicken was moist and well-seasoned, while the pork was spicy due to the basil. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, and I look forward to trying their Khao Soi and Khao Man Gai on my next visit.

Visited Jam, a popular Thai curry ramen restaurant in Kyoto, with my wife on a weekday as we had some time off. We ordered Lunch Set B for 1350 yen, and also a Gapaomazesoba for 1000 yen plus an additional 100 yen for chicken. Set B includes Kaosoy and Kaomangai (small) with a salad. I chose the green curry option for the Kaosoy, which added a nice level of spiciness. The Gapaomazesoba was also spicy, but the soft-boiled egg and tomato helped balance out the heat. It had cilantro and chopped green onions, giving it a unique twist. The Kaomangai was delicious as well, with fragrant jasmine rice, fried onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and tender chicken. Overall, everything was tasty and I would definitely like to visit again.

Near Omiya Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line, there is a restaurant called Kaosoi that serves "Thai Curry Ramen." This dish is a specialty from northern Thailand, made with a red curry base soup with coconut milk, Chinese noodles, and crispy fried noodles on top. The soup comes in red and green varieties, with the spicier green option available. You can choose between chicken, pork, or no meat, and I ordered the pork in a regular size (850 yen). I also added a side of jasmine rice (300 yen). The soup had a slight spiciness and a nice balance of sweetness, and the pork was minced and flavorful. Mixing in the rice added another layer of deliciousness. It was a hidden gem of a restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

Full of Asian vibes! The taste is delicious too♪ I was drawn in by the Asian atmosphere from the exterior♪ On this day, I ordered curry for takeout. Maybe they started the takeout system due to the pandemic? When I entered the store, there were already some customers, and a delicious smell was wafting through the air. Pork Curry (200g) for 1,200 yen. The rich flavor of the pork was amazing! Next time, I want to enjoy it slowly inside the store♪

Visited on Sunday afternoon around 11:25 am. No wait. Order at the counter. I ordered the Red Card Sauce with double toppings for 970 yen. The soup is Thai curry flavored. The chicken chashu was tasty and had four pieces, but it was served cold.

I ordered the Thai curry ramen (Khao Soi) Red with double meat, A set (salad and Thai rice) and it was delicious! My friend ordered the Green curry and coconut pudding, and the pudding was also excellent! I will definitely visit again!

The 11th stop of the food festival. Kaosoi. I went to a terrible restaurant during the day, so continuing with the food festival. Apparently, the chilled Tom Yum Kung that comes out in the summer is really delicious. My stubborn self ordered as usual. But the Tom Yum Kung looked delicious! If you like Thai food, you should definitely try it in the summer. The taste of the Tom Yum Kung I tried at the end was... If you like Thai food, you won't regret trying it in the summer. It's easy to eat while still capturing the essence of Tom Yum Kung. Kyoto is hot in the summer. To be honest, it's not really tourist-friendly. If you happen to come to Kyoto at the wrong time of year, it's worth trying this dish. If you come to Shijo Omiya looking for a place to drink, it's worth a visit. Of course, the regular Kaosoi is delicious too (laughs).

Thai curry with noodles is the only thing that stands out. Stamp rally achievement at the Laa Matsuri Festival. Thai curry ramen sham, Khao Soi, red curry soup, Laa Matsuri stamp rally, Laa Matsuri stamp rally Kyoto goal, thank you for the Kyoto ramen feast.

Sham's second restaurant, which could be considered the epitome of Thai curry in Kyoto. The minimalistic space is casual and comfortable for solo diners. I chose the Kaosoi curry with green curry and pork in a regular size. The creamy soup starts off smooth but then packs a punch with a strong spiciness. The coarse pork mince is rich, and the raw onions and green onions add a nice touch. The noodles are smooth and have a good firmness.

I visited the restaurant a little after 8:00 pm and sat at the empty counter seat. It was my third visit to this restaurant, and I decided to order the "Khao Soi Green Curry Soup Double" (970 yen) that I had for the first time. The bowl that was brought to me was filled with char siu, minced meat, green onions, fried noodles, and pickled mustard greens. When I tasted the soup, it had a smooth and creamy green curry flavor with a rich taste and a spicy kick that followed. The spiciness level is definitely not suitable for those who are not used to spicy food, but for those who enjoy spicy food, it is delicious without any resistance. The noodles were chewy and medium-thick, blending well with the soup's flavor, and the crispy fried noodles added a nice texture. The chicken char siu was thick and moist, with a rich flavor, and the pork mince was well-seasoned and tasty. It was a delicious Thai curry ramen that was different from the usual curry ramen.

I went to "Thai Curry Ramen Sham" for the first time in a while. I had the "Thai Curry Ramen (Khao Soi)" with Jasmine rice. You can choose between red and green soup, and I chose the popular red curry soup. I selected a double topping of chicken and spicy minced pork. The soup, with coconut milk and crispy fried noodles on top, was delicious. The chewy noodles paired well with the flavorful curry soup. The chicken topping was tender and tasty. The spicy minced pork added a nice kick to the creamy soup. After finishing the noodles, I mixed the rice into the remaining soup to make curry rice and finished it all. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch A set: Kai Soi Chicken Red Soup (extra large), rice (small) - 1370 yen Daughter: Lunch B set: Kai Soi Chicken Red Soup - 1270 yen Wife: Lunch A set: Kai Soi Chicken Red Soup - 1070 yen

It was my first visit to this Thai curry ramen restaurant located in Kyoto, Minami-gawa-dori Shijo. I visited on a weekday at noon and there was no wait, so I was seated right away. This restaurant specializes in Thai curry ramen. I ordered the "Thai Curry Ramen Kaosoi (Red Curry Soup, Chicken) (Large)" and "Kaomangai (Small)". The dishes arrived after a short wait. The curry ramen had a creamy and vibrant color, with a smooth coconut milk flavor and a hint of spiciness. The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles that paired well with the slightly thick soup. The crispy fried noodles added a nice texture. The chicken was flavorful and complemented the soup well. The Kaomangai was made with chicken boiled in soup and jasmine rice cooked with tomato, offering a delicious combination of chicken umami and tomato acidity. After finishing the noodles, I mixed the remaining Kaomangai rice into the soup to create a risotto-like dish. It was my first time trying Thai curry ramen, and I found it to be fresh, much easier to eat than I had imagined, and made me want to come back for more. I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

At a Thai curry specialty store, I had Khao Soi for lunch set A at Kyoto, Shijo-Omiya. The set includes Khao Soi (Thai curry ramen) with chicken, a small portion of rice, and salad. The restaurant is called Sham. I chose the red curry soup (green curry is also available). I upgraded to a large portion of Khao Soi, added pork, and changed the rice to a small portion. The combination of Khao Soi curry soup and rice was excellent! I wish I had ordered a medium portion of rice instead of a small one. I also want to try Khao Man Gai and Khao Man Gai Tod.

Thai Curry Ramen Sham (Shijo Omiya Station) is a unique addition to the Laa Matsuri member restaurants, specializing in "Thai Curry Ramen." It's a niche genre that makes you wonder if it exists nationwide. In fact, it is a sister store of the Thai curry specialty store "Sham," which is a "Thai government-endorsed certified store" in Maruyama, Kyoto, and uses the same curry paste. The menu includes Thai Curry Ramen (Khao Soi): 1. Choose between Red or Green soup 2. Choose the meat and size: Chicken, Pork, or Double (Chicken and Pork) in Regular, Large, or Extra Large size 3. Choose other toppings. They also offer the famous Thai dish "Khao Man Gai" as a side menu. There are also lunchtime set menus available. I made a big mistake or misunderstanding here. I thought "Khao Soi" was some other dish and completely ignored it. So, confidently, I told the staff, "Thai Curry Ramen, please!" I wanted double meat, so I ordered it separately! First, let's start with the soup... Delicious!!! I don't know much about curry, and I can't remember if I've ever had Thai curry, but what is this!? It's incredibly delicious! Various spices' umami flavors intertwine complexly... In other words, it's delicious (laughs). Not too spicy, with a moderate sweetness that lingers softly is the coconut milk. I always think it's really difficult to match noodles with tasty curry soup. However, this medium-thick noodle perfectly complements it, and it tastes great! It retains a chewy yet firm texture, so you can enjoy the umami flavor of curry with each bite. The fried noodles topping in the center is so crispy that it could cut the roof of your mouth, and it's excellent. The slightly spicy minced pork topping tightens the flavor with a different spiciness from the soup, making it even more appetizing. The moist and tender chicken breast. The simmered egg has a very creamy texture and a unique taste. Looking at the menu again, it says "seasoned with Thai condiments." And actually, I ordered an additional Khao Man Gai small 350 yen. But don't say, "You should have gone for the lunch set?" Let's stop that. I'll remember that Khao Soi is Thai curry ramen next time!!! I want to go for the double meat, but Khao Man Gai is also delicious, so I'll try the set next time (laughs). Be sure to try it yourself!
