Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen or the current seasonal clam bowl
The story behind the bowl
Sanmai built its Chiang Mai reputation through long-cooked pork broth, thin noodles and a small menu with more craft than the city's general Japanese chains. Seasonal bowls, including shellfish-led specials, give repeat visitors a reason to return.
Before you go: Use the Nimman branch for this guide entry and check the current special before arrival; the permanent tonkotsu remains the safest first bowl.
