Carp Cafe’

Love the place, the setup, and the water canceling noise were also great. The food was good but a pricey, for sure you are paying for the experience as well. The atmosphere was great, I really love the water noise and how fresh it feels inside with the water factor and the cooling system even though it is semi-outdoor. Even though the waiters are friendly, in Thailand, the service is not top of the line for me personally. I think the restaurant must include a waiter calling system device on tables so we can press to get their attention when needed. Everything else was great!

We had a great time here. We came early maybe 10 o clock and nearly had the whole place to ourselves. Nice setting where you can watch, and feed the carp. They look well looked after and all different sizes and colours which was good.

The café has a beautiful concept with koi fish swimming around. Each seat is surrounded by a stream of water for the fish to swim freely. However, the charm is somewhat diminished by the presence of fake flowers throughout the café.

The service was better than average; we had no trouble getting the attention of the staff.

The food was the highlight. Everything we ordered was delicious and flavorful, and the prices were reasonable.

Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in Chiang Mai.

Carp Cafe in Chiang Mai is a hidden gem! The koi fish in the toilet are a quirky surprise, and feeding them was so much fun. Plus, the Japanese food, hot coffee, and cake were delicious. The whole vibe is enchanting and makes for a super memorable visit. Definitely check it out!

Such a beautiful experience! Felt immediately transported to Japan.

Came for nice lunch with my husband
Arrived 11am on Thursday - not busy with just 4 tables already seated. There is lots and lots of seating - the staff greet you and allow you to choose where you would like to sit and on which side of the restaurant. I love that! There’s been too many times I’ve gone to aesthetically cute cafes to be seated in a not so pretty spot than what I saw online.

Every spot was beautiful and photo worthy with the fish swimming around you!

There are 2 menus and a drink menu; one for sushi/Japanese cuisine and one for Thai/western cuisine.

For the area being enclosed and covered it was nice and cool with plenty of fans moving air around.
The staff gave us menus once we picked a table and stood off to the side while we browsed. We took a while to decide but they were ready when we were. All the staff were super nice - our waiter didn’t speak English too well but was patient with us vice versa and used translate app to help. Not once did I feel rushed like cafes back at home

Once our food was ordered I took a walk around for about 15 mins snapping pictures and visiting the amazing bathroom (women’s only, husband said men bathroom is not special but not sure which men room he went to as I saw 2)

All food was decent to good, nothing stood out that we did not like. Also nothing was super delicious we were drooling over. Sushi/Nigiri was good enough to not disappoint especially for the price compared to America.
Decent food with aesthetic IG worthy vibes that did not disappoint. I’ve been to some cafes where it’s just too crowded, the decor is underwhelming and it’s too overwhelming with ppl to enjoy - this was not that. By the time we left (2 hours later or 1pm) it hadn’t felt so much time had passed and by that time it was getting busier for lunch. The one thing that didn’t work out was I ordered a mango papaya style salad but our waiter must’ve missed it bc it wasn’t listed on receipt.

We ordered 2 pcs each; U12 SALMON SALAD NIGIRI, U11 (tuna) MAGURO SALAD NIGIRI, U04 TUNA SALAD+EBIKO NIGIRI; U24 SALMON ABURI NIGIRI, U33 SALMON TORO NIGIRI, U17 UNAGI NIGIRI, U31 MAGURO (tuna) SPICY SALAD NIGIRI, U30 SALMON SPICY SALAD NIGIRI - as well as udon and two Italian sodas total $40.32/฿1422 - $42.53/฿1500 after tip.

Fish food is available for ฿20-40 baht

If you don’t wish to eat you can still come to enjoy the fish and scenery for ฿100

A real highlight of Chiang Mai,
Food is Amazing, and service is great.
Feeding all the fish is so much fun.
Definitely recommend

Such a cool concept honestly, if you don't want to eat/drink you can enter for 100baht. Fish food is either 20 or 40 bath.
I did want a drink but the service took forever. I think I waited over 30 minutes for someone to get my order, than another 20 just for one iced tea. It was not busy at all, maybe 2 more tables in total so I'm not sure why the long wait. Workers were super friendly tho.

It's a very cozy, Japanese-style restaurant! The design is stunning, the sushi is delicious, and the wasabi, in particular, stands out! It's frustrating that you can't get alcohol before 5 PM, which is a minus one star.

Most amazing rainforest like cafe with wide mixture of amazing koi fish in several ponds around the tables where you can enjoy good variety of Japanese delicious foods

Very pleasurable experience at Carp Cafe , prices are little steep, but worth the experience.

You can buy fish food for 20 THB to feed fish as they swim around your dunked table.

The staff were friendly and attentive ,very politely asked the kids not to touch the fish .

We had sushi around 180-280 a plate and spaghetti 270 THB , both were good , little pricey however when paying the bill we got to chose a lucky egg and won 15% discount off our bill which was a lovely surprise

A wonderful and unique experience! We were looking for some place to escape the afternoon heat for a few hours and this was perfect. The booths are embedded in a giant labyrinth koi pond. Tea and cake were delicious and the atmosphere is just wonderful with many beautiful fish that you can feed. Highly recommend.

I’m so impressed with Carp Café about super fresh products and reasonable price. The quality of ingredients are important for Sushi and Roll so I would like to recommend this amazing cafe for who‘s looking for Japanese food in Chiangmai. Must visit and enjoy your meals!! 🫶🏻👏🏻🫰🏻

You go there for the experience. Very original idea where you sit at a table next to artificial basins filled with hundreds of carps.
You can buy a bit of fish food coming in to feed the fish who will come to you no matter where you are sitting.
The food is more expensive than the average Thai restaurant in the area, but this is compressive since you do go there for there for the nice atmosphere and experience.
Do not miss the opportunity to go see the women's toilet where you can see the carps through a glass wall.
Payment can only be done in cash.

Really fun, unique experience. Great café where you sit in giant coi pond. The inside is like being transported to a misty sacred pond deep in the forest. Their matcha and chocolate shake were quite good! Definitely visit the bathroom here for a surprise perk.

Absolutely real spanish food, all of the five dishes were so yummy and so authentic. We will come back for sure very soon. Delicious paella, better than other paellas we had in Spain.
Bread was soooooo wonderful, absolutely homemade, first time I eat real bread in Thailand.
Staff are so so nice and friendly, you can see there's a very good atmosphere between workers and they treat customers as you feel at home.

Absolutely beautiful place with tropical plants, well fed healthy carps and unexpected details like Marvel, Star Wars and DC miniatures collection or electric trains you can watch.

Haven't tried the food as its quite expensive. Tea and coffee was ok, nothing special, they are more expensive than in some cafes in Nimman but served with plastic spoon.

I think the higher price is reasonable for maintaining such a nice place and take care of fish but I can't say anything about the food.

Carp Cafe. Wow, totally different scene inside from what you see outside. The atmosphere is great. 1,000 of fish swimming around while you relax and enjoy your food. The table is part of the feature with waterfalls into the pond. The food is really good. Well recommended will be back again.

This place was so fun. We will never have a place like this in the United States. Creativity was fantastic.

The only mystery was why they had the super hero action figures for sale.

Signature drink matcha v.2(roasted rice) is amazing! All carps is super friendly. The aquarium toilet gives impressive experience!
