    Lunch for 5. Just step out from the Hilton. Had fried morning glory, fried minced pork with basil, fried yellow noodles with pork, pad thai with shrimp, green curry coconut with chicken, fried rice with garlic. Tasty food. Boss is Alan who sits up front and welcomes all. Chef made the items gluten free for us. I think it’s pretty good and if you are not sure of which restaurant then try this. Spice levels can be adjusted. I took the wimpy option as I was traveling. LOL

    (Translated by Google) There are 7 tables and the restaurant is always full in the evening so all the menus are delicious. It's on the corner of an alley, so it's not hard to find. Please stop by. (Original) 7개의 테이블이 있는데 저녁시간엔 언제나 자리가 꽉차는 맛집으로 모든 메뉴가 다 맛있어요. 골목길 모퉁이에 자리하고 있어 찾기엔 어렵지 않아요. 꼭 들려보세요.

    Excellent! Wife cooking, daughter serving with perfect English, and the boss an English gentleman. You better book if you arrive after 18h. They were nice to buy me some lime leaves and curry to take back home. Very friendly people which is a plus when you do not know the country.

    Enjoying Hua Hin for the first time since the pandemic, I have been delighted to enjoy dinners at Oraya's restaurant again in the last days. Fortunately they have survived and the food and service continue to be heart-warming. Delicious Thai dishes and good singha beer at affordable prices accompanied by big smiles of the superfriendly owner and his family and staff. Located few steps away from the Hilton, this is a great place to enjoy Thai hospitality in Hua Hin.

    Every time I vacation in Hua Hin with my partner, we make sure to drop by at least once to Oraya's. The quality and value of the food is outstanding. I've included an image of one of the curried duck dishes I personally enjoy. The place itself is quaint and tasteful. The owner and servers are friendly and easy to be around. I can't recommend them highly enough. It is true that the pandemic has been hard on their business, I hope they come out ok on the other side, and I intend to go back so long as they still exist.

  • 4/5 감근주 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I came here because of the traditional Thai taste. I don't know if it's Korean, but it looks like Thai restaurant with spicy taste. Cheap meals are also available at the famous shopping malls around, but the depth of taste seems to be much better. It was good because it was suitable for one person and it was good to see the unique taste of this restaurant rather than the normal taste of tourist restaurant. The coriander couldn't be skipped and the spicy taste was basic, so it was good for me as a Korean, but it was spicy. (Original) 태국 전통 가정식 맛이라는 평가여서 방문하게 되었습니다. 한국인이라 가정식인지는 모르겠지만 매운맛이 기본으로 한 태국식 식당인것 같습니다. 주위 유명한 쇼핑몰에서도 저렴한 가격의 식사가 가능하나 맛의 깊이는 오라야가 훨씬 뛰어 난것 같습니다. 1인분씩 적당한 양이라 좋았고 그냥 관광지 식당의 보통맛보다는 이 식당의 개성적인 맛을 볼수가 있어서 좋았습니다. 고수는 뺄수 없었고 매운맛이 기본이라 한국인인 저에게는 좋았으나 그래도 맵기는 하네요 다양한 태국식 요리의 기본을 맛본것 같아 좋았습니다.

    (Translated by Google) Following the comments we came to discover this Thai restaurant. The service is to be reviewed. The waitress is not smiling and helpful. On the other hand tasty dishes, made with passion but not hearty at all for this type of restaurants. You will find better and cheaper! However if you do not want to change neighborhood I recommend it ... (Original) Suite aux commentaires nous sommes venu découvrir ce restaurant thaï. Le service est à revoir. La jeune serveuse n'est pas souriante et serviable. En revanche plats goûteux, fait avec passion mais pas copieux du tout pour ce type de restaurants. Vous trouverez mieux et moins chers ! En revanche si vous ne voulez pas changer de quartier je vous le conseille...

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! This family run restaurant serves up tasty, authentic Thai food. For lunch we ordered the pad se ew with chicken and the fresh seafood and cashews. Both dishes had fresh ingredients and the portions were generous. Everything on the menu looked delicious!!! When visiting Hua Hin, a stop at Oraya’s for a meal would be good for both your craving for authentic Thai food and your wallet!!

    Highly recommended. Quite a small place, just over 10 tables Absolutely great food You can see your food cooked to order as the kitchen is open at the front of the restaurant. Stir fried red curry with duck is 11/10.

    Chances upon Oraya's as we were looking for a lunch spot around Hua Hin. The hospitality by the family is amazing, and the food was even better! Loved all the noodle dishes that we got - Phad Thai, Phad Si-Ew & Tang Hoon. They each had the flavour of the wok, which was fragrant and hearty. The curries packed a punch, but was amazing! You could also opt for a non-spicy version which was equally tasty as well. Ended the meal with some fresh mango on the house (thank you!!). 😊

    Good and authentic Thai food run by and English man, his local wife who's the main chef, her daughter and a family friend who also helps cook. Everything is made to order freshly and with an open kitchen as you enter their shop.. They're friendly and accommodating, if anything isn't on the menu just ask

    So good that I didn’t even have time to take a photo! The lovely owner answered my phone and made my favorite Krapow Gai (spicy basil chicken) in just a few minutes. I asked for not too spicy and she made it perfect! A nice kick; but not painful 🤪 With our new Change Hua Hin Real Estate office right around the corner, this will be my “go to place” for lunch and dinner whenever I’m at the office! EDIT - late night at the office so ordered again and amazing again! Such a lovely family run restaurant!

  • 5/5 Travel R. 4 months ago on Google
    The Oraya‘s is a very good Thai Restaurant. The food is very good and so are the prices. The Quality of the food you get is also up to standards. The portions are big and make you full. The staff is very friendly and can, partly, communicate in english. The location and interior is also comfortable.

  • 5/5 M. H. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place to eat! Typically Asian style and home made atmosphere. Food is awesome and the business is run by a very nice family. May sound weird, but try the french fries as a starter- they are awesome and hand made!! All other food great as well, owner is happy to cook vegetarian options as well

  • 5/5 Louise L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant with delicious flavours at an affordable price. This restaurant is run by a very friendly and hospitable couple - the husband is English and the wife is Thai ☺️ we especially loved the home-cooked chips and mocha frappe. Definitely the best we've had in Thailand thus far!

  • 4/5 John K. 7 months ago on Google
    Very casual, small restaurant. Ordered pork stir fried in red curry paste. Portion size was generous and the pork was tender. Flavor was excellent. Well done, chef! Total price for this dish, plus rice and a bottle of soda water was 215 thb. Just a little bit higher than I expected due to the price of the soda water. Don't think I've paid more than 20 for soda at other restaurants in town. But overall it was a good meal and I will happily come back. There are many more dishes to try!

  • 5/5 Rob j. 2 years ago on Google
    Very tasty Thai restaurant surrounded by lots of foreign cuisine. I much preferred this style. The restaurant has many nice Asian ceramics and even a large photo Before Hilton. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Andy V. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s wonderful eating at this family run restaurant that’s been there for years. So successful they had to open another one across the road! I eat there virtually every night - whatever you ask for they will do it - they’ve become like friends and family - the only problem is I now feel guilty if I even think of eating elsewhere - thank goodness they close on Sundays!

    We had a very good meal in Oraya’s. Quiet place in contrast to some neighborhood. Open kitchen and be prepared to wait a moment for your food - it is prepared and not wormed up.

  • 5/5 Emma M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely family run restaurant. Fresh and delicious Thai food. We’ve eaten there as a family twice (during our first visit to Hua Hin) and every single dish has been fresh, lovely, healthy, tasty and extremely affordable. Highly recommend. Excellent value for money. So incredible watching the chef make the curry pastes and dishes from scratch so expertly and efficiently. Even my baby boy loves their food (and they welcome him with open arms making him feel happy and relaxed there). A lovely place to have a fresh and flavourful bite to eat 🥰

  • 5/5 Jules B. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my goodness, the best Crispy Pork and Vegetables we've ever had! The Spring Rolls, Padthai, Tom Yum and rice was really good too. Great hosts too. A gem of a restaurant, very worthwhile visiting!!
