So's Place on Soi 15 Behind The Avenue


Recommended Posts

Nice to see So's Place has expanded. We ate there a few times last trip (2016) and found the price/quality excellent. We appreciated the small portions as we are not big eaters.

Thanks for the review Evil. This is my sort of place where the cooking is personal and seems that the food looks authentic. I have been using places like this but the last two shut their doors and this looks like a good replacement. I also find that Thai girls are happy in unpretentious places like this and prefer the home made version to the restaurant sort.

I did try the chicken with cashews and it was very good! However, So's is closed Friday and Saturday due to the Buddha days.

Thanks, Evil. Been wondering about So's since I pass by fairly often. Have you tried any of the food stalls on the ground floor of The Avenue? A walk through there is always greeted with very tempting smells coming from the eateries.

I ate regularly at several of those during my last stay a few months ago. Many seemed to offer the same, so it was a case (for me anyway ) of finding one I liked and sticking with them. 50b gave me a plate of something with rice (chicken in various forms, pork, and sauce) or a noodle soup. Almost miss my daily feed there most about my trip...

The eateries and other stalls in the back covered section have been cleared out. It's empty now. The front open-air section beside the fountain still has food stalls and tables for sit-down dining. I haven't tried it yet.

 

Another good meal at So's. I was hungry last night, so I had a big bowl of pork noodle soup for 80 baht:

followed by garlic fried spare ribs at 145 baht. The ribs were meaty and tender, while the sliced garlic had been fried crispy without any burning. With rice and a bottle of water, the meal cost 280 baht in all.

I was shocked yesterday to see all the food stalls gone. After looking around I saw a small sign on the escalator noting that the stalls had been moved upstairs. That space is much more cramped, hot, and uncomfortable; there was often a very nice breeze passing through the ground floor location that made eating there more attractive. What this is all about I have no clue; remodel, space for new business, city regulations run amok?? If anyone has a clue would love to know. Pattaya seems to be engaged in a battle not only with beach road ladies but also food vendors---making Pattaya safe for the Chinese...

 

Tried So's twice---was good and will be making it a regular stop.

Yes, the back section of the ground floor of The Avenue has been cleared. Tonight a six-member crew was washing it down.

The front bottom section still has food stalls, plus more tables and chairs:

A Thai man was celebrating his birthday with his wife and a friend. He asked me to take pics. I will email him a copy of them.

Apologies for the -1 red, fat finger syndrome on my iPad trying to give you a green.

Regards

Evened it up for ya!

 

The birthday boy is hubby of the lady who cooked my lunch most days last trip. Hardly any English between them, but I never went hungry, got credit from them various times when I only had a 1000 note, and was used as a guinea pig for a few new dishes they produced.

 

Really miss my 50b cow man gai!
