Soi 5 is both a daytime and evening fix with plenty of options, including, fruit, noodles, stir fries, snacks, curries and a variety of meat and fish for the grill. As it is a neighborhood area, prime time is evening after 5 p.m. when a lot of new stalls open up to start serving people coming home from work. That also means that most hawkers and vendors are pure take away options, but some vendors also have a few tables outside.
