In mho the best restaurant in town. Great food very well presented. If there is a classier place in Udon, I've not seen it.
A breath of fresh air. I wish I was there now instead of not so sunny Wakefield!!

The blue marker on the overhead photo marking the location of the Good Everything restaurant appears to be a hundred yards off and on the wrong street. The restaurant is on the street that runs along the park, not down a side street across from the part enterance.

Hi, me and the TW had a great meal here, sat outside, nice breeze,only downside was a drooling felix whose continued presence and persistent nudging culminated in it experiencing a flying lesson.

I went there for the first time yesterday. Well i have to say that it's name sort of sums the place up. It is a trendy European restaurant transported to the western side of Nong Prajak. Chintz decor with name tags of the restaurant adorn everything. Prices very reasonable to farangs, the thai food is a bargain and in top league, everything artistically presented.
I must say that my steak did NOT look like the one in the photo, although it was mighty big and cooked well. It was slightly tough, like MOST Thai steaks are, and flat texture unlike the photo. How to cut a tough steak when you have a wonky table, is not in the book of etiquette, i was not sure what to do, my Thai lady companion was alarmed by the storm force waves that were appearing in her water glass !!
The appetizers are very tasty, with small samples of Thai veggies and dips, fish.
At the end of the meal, a range of cakes is presented , i opted for the Blueberry Cheesecake , US style !
THe coffees and teas DID have outrageous prices (90 baht for expresso), so i gave that a miss.
But all in all, this must be best farang restaurant in Udon by far ! Good service , good tasty stylish food !!

I have been there with my family and relatives several times for 2 years. It is worthwhile of tasting its great variety of dishes and drinks with compatiable prices and attentive services. I must say it is hardly of dining at the similar outlets served good foods at reasonable cost in Hongkong.

Hopefully, I would be at Good Everything Udon coming Christmas.

Cheers.

So is this place still open? The website link goes to some site that has nothing to do with a restaurant as far as I can tell.

Best Regards,

I agree the restuarant serves good food and the staff are extremely polite and helpful.
Just 1 little problem sometimes the portions are a little small and last time I ordered dinner with french fries I found them hiding under a lettuce leaf. Otherwise a nice evening out

We had dinner at Good Everything this evening, and I was expecting more.

We arrived at approximately 6:15 to an almost empty place. A Thai couple was at another table. Service was very slow for the amount of traffic in the place, and was 'Thai style'...e.g. when the dish is done, it is brought to the table with no attempt at staging the courses.

I had the special Pumpkin and Bacon soup @ 150 baht, and my wife had the Cream Corn soup at 120 baht. We followed this with Macaroni Lasagna with bacon and spinach in a cream sauce (220 baht) for me, and Spaghetti and meat sauce (180 baht) for her. For drinks, we had a pomegranate iced tea (70 baht) and a lemon ice (80 baht?). We also ordered a side of garlic bread with the pasta, and a water at 15 baht.

The garlic bread needed more garlic, and more butter, so we ordered a side of garlic butter, which was charged for in addition to the garlic bread.

The Pumpkin and Bacon soup was good, but a bit of fresh nutmeg would have gone a long way towards making it better. The Cream Corn soup was creamy, but it need pepper and salt for my wife to eat it, and she only ate half of it.

The pasta arrived and both the spaghetti and macaroni was overcooked. The sauce on the lasagna was excellent, and served in a traditional lasagna noodle would have been delicious. As it was, the dish lacked substance due to the badly overcooked macaroni. The meat sauce was a bit thin, and again, my wife only ate half of the serving.

When we ordered dessert, they did not have tiramisu, which we both wanted.

Serving sizes were adequate, if a bit small. So, you do the math, listed above comes to 835 baht + the garlic bread and garlic butter, but somehow our bill came to 1115 baht, so unless they charged 300 baht for 3 slices of garlic bread (and the butter that should have been on the bread to begin with), the bill was wrong. I looked and asked the waiter to recalculate it, but he just looked at me with the deer in headlights look, so we paid and I left. I will not be back. For that money, it was adequate at best. When we left, the place was full inside, of Thai people. Nary a farang in sight, which may explain why the waiter did not speak English in an 'upscale' restaurant aiming for a farang clientele.

This is my opinion based on one experience. Your mileage may vary.

Sounds like the same as I experienced about 5 or 6 years ago ..... never been back

Why assume they are aiming for a farang clientele, because it is upscale?

I do not go there for meals for reasons stated by others, notably not great value.

However we still like to go for a smoothie, or the afternoon tea set which is around 300 baht for two, a very nice mix of food is served. Coffee for some reason is too expensive and I have never ordered it there.

When we first discovered it around 2004 perhaps, they had 59 bath lunch sets, we could not believe our luck, now that was fantastic value, a loss leader I guess as they launched the business.

Small portions and UK prices. I also stopped going long time ago :roll:

No, not because it is upscale, but because of the menu. Lamb, pasta, etc. are not Thai staples as far as I can tell.
