    My first visit here. Definitely won’t be my last. I can’t believe I’ve lived in Hua Hin for over two years and have never visited this outstanding restaurant. My girlfriend and I ordered shrimp cakes, a shrimp and minced pork wing bean salad, grilled mantis prawns, and a yellow curry seafood dish. Everything was so delicious and perfect! Our table was right next to the water and the service was fast and friendly. I had a second visit this week and it was just as good. We had fried fish cakes, tom yum goong, and the wing bean salad again. Very good food, and a beautiful setting. I love this restaurant.

    The signature of the restaurant is Seafood with basil sauce on a hot pan. The ingredients were very fresh and the taste was just right for Thai people. It somehow felt like the Pesto sauce in common spaghetti but much more delicious. The price was affordable for good food quality and deliciousness. The service was very fast for cooking food and paying bill. I recommend to visit the restaurant around 4-5 pm to see the sea view with less customers.

    Saw many good 'reviews' on Google. First time trying the food after watching someone's video on YouTube recommending their signature dish as well. Their customer service is good. However, honestly don't find their food tasty and also dishes are slight expensive. Ordered their signature dishes squid and clams with the special sauce, crab fried rice, fried prawn cake, Tom yum soup, and omelette. Overall, just overrated.

    Restaurant comes with sea view as its next to the beach. Come early for the sunset! Not a basil fan so their hot item basil seafood is just ok for my family. Morning glory is amazing with a tad of spiciness. Fried rice is not bad, not salty at all! Prawn cake and Pandan prawns are fantastic Lobster in garlic butter is kinda underwhelming but value for money. Please try the omelette, it’s crispy and yummy! Squid is very fresh and goes with anything! Service is one plus point!!

    Very nice place directly at the see. The menues can be created very variable. See photos. Generally the food is very tasty. The staff very attentive and friendly. Wide range of wine for fair prices. 1,200 Baht per bottle. Portions are big. The fish was rather on the spicy side. But very tasty.

    Went with my girlfriend. Between us ordered 7 dishes. I had to take a close up on the mussel because this is the first restaurant that I ate at that takes the beard out. Shows the cleanliness off their seafood. Staff, fast, friendly, proactive. A must for seafood lovers.

    Just next to the beach but pet only allowed in the area near the road without a view. Food was unimpressive and did not taste very nice except for the fried rice. Generally, only ok.

    The popular restaurants in Hua Hin, the spicy rate is on fire, even some Thai people can't handle it.

  • 4/5 Panu T. 5 months ago on Google
    4.5 ⭐ First time here, everyone seems to hold this place with highest regards, rightly so too 😁. Better calling ahead and make a reservation 😊. FOOD: very good quality, good raw mat, delicious. Menu is quite wide ranging and innovative 😁. Portion size is on the conservative side, haa haa haa, quality over quantity 😂 (complimentary assorted fruit plate too). 8.5/10. SERVICE: excellent not much more to add, from uniform, knowledge, attentiveness, etc. 10/10. FACILITY: lovely, great view (beach front), Seatings are well spread out not cramped, but very well kept and maintain 👍, great housekeeping superbly clean. 10/10. PRICE: acceptable range for sure 😊. 8.5/10.

    Surprisingly the food was much better than the view. We ordered in the typical Thai style of just throwing suggestions at the waiter until he nodded in approval and ended up with 10 or so excellent seafood dishes - big fat prawns, whole fried fish, crab, seafood salad... the only thing that didn't knock me out my feet was the signature dish of clams in sweet basil sauce, but even that was still a solid 7.5/10. Everything else was pretty much perfect. The service was also impeccable. Thumbs up!

    Nice seafood restaurant by the beach. Wheel chair accessible. Staffs are very nice. Most of the dishes are delicious. Didn't really like the fish cake/prawn cake dish. Mussels dishes and seafood salad together with fried rice is recommenced. Nice coconut. Price range i would say abit more than normal. But not too overpriced.

    Very beautiful location on beach bank. Food is all sea food and very very yummy and fresh. The way it is serviced is very beautiful. I totally recommend this restaurent. This is my second visit one in 2022 and one in 2023

    Local restaurant. Good vibes. Lots of seafood menus are recommended

  • 5/5 Siline N. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has been recommended by friends and I would my turn recommend it to the community; staffs are friendly, menu is rich and with many options and easy to understand. We are just on the sea shore, with sound of the waves while eating. Just amazingly perfect. Dishes were good, only the oysters omelet was for us too sticky and not enough dry but all the other plates ordered were just so yummy and rich in flavor. Will again visit with my relatives coming soon👊

    Great unique Thai taste a must visit place with good food and exquisite taste. Great view for beach view as well

  • 5/5 Benjamin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge restaurant serving a range of seafood - enjoyed every dish that I tried (and I tried a lot). The service was excellent, the staff constantly topping up water etc, as soon as empty. It has parking and is right by the beach.

  • 4/5 Poh Soh L. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a 8 pax lunch here overlooking the beach. A little warm but the cooling tower did the trick. Food was good, except fried rice was over seasoned with too much soya sauce. Not to our liking. Fried fish was fresh and delicious. So are other dishes that we ordered. Definitely a local diner- we were the only foreigners there at lunch.

  • 3/5 joeli r. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was disappointing and not done with much care or love. Omelette was overcooked. Chicken legs were bland, dry, and small. Not good value for money. So many better places to eat in Hua Inn. Good service though, very attentive.

  • 3/5 Ruangvuth T. 5 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is among the most famous in Hua Hin. But, it failed to impress me, and couldn't meet my expectations. The overall space and atmosphere is okay, although there are better places out there. The menu selections and food quality were disappointing to my taste. However, they offer a wide range of drinks from nonalcoholic drinks to cocktails or hard liquors.

  • 4/5 Dia W. 2 years ago on Google
    Always safe choice at Huahin ;) Once we lazy to find out what fancy to eat, Baan Istsara always pop up in my head, familiar taste and place. A bit pricey compare to other choice in same level but acceptable. taste is strong and a little bit spicy for me, service is good as usual, keep busy at all time.

  • 4/5 Jean R. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good overall. Unfortunately no AC room and the coke is open when serviced so the soda is not sparkling.

  • 4/5 Kevin G. 2 years ago on Google
    A traditional Thai Resteraunt with awesome food, when it’s quiet you can get a table at the front overlooking the sea. The name “itsara” means freedom. But beware at the weekends it’s very busy and service can become slower. There is limited parking in the restaurant but there is parking opposite as well which is open during busy periods. They put a sheet over your car windscreen which is a nice touch.

  • 4/5 Thai Excellence M. 1 year ago on Google
    I liked it though it gets quite busy. The fried shells were quite nice. Its best if its good weather when you visit.

  • 5/5 Alfred C. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Quite near to Hua Hin, we stopped over for some seafood. The restaurant is right by the sea. We enjoyed the nice seafood while feeling the sea breeze and listening to the therapeutic sound of sea waves. The waiters are polite, friendly and very pleasant. For the dishes, we especially like their suggestion of deep-frying half of the grouper and steaming the other half of the fish. We also like their special way of cooking the squid in delicious curry sauce. The other dishes are also yummy. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

  • 5/5 pinpach p. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good service and the staffs are super helpful. I brought my mom for lunch here and she can’t walk well, and the restaurant has wheel chair service. Highly recommend for people who travels with disabled members. Very inclusive. Food is great with good presentation and reasonable price. Very popular, will need to book a table in advance.
