    Nice bar. Margarita is highly recommended. However, food was not so tasty: steamed lobster was overboiled and meet tasted like a rubber, shrimp noodle had a strange smell. Pineapple rice and steamed blue crab was ok. Moderate food quality for reasonable money.

    We are so happy we discovered this place! We were staying at one of the nearby resorts and were not impressed with the washed out version of Thai cuisine we were getting there. This restaurant serves you the real deal, unapologetically authentic Thai food, with all the beautiful spices (and spiciness), sweetness, and sourness. We ended up having dinners there for the rest of the week and explored much of its menu. Can absolutely recommend the fried butterfish with spicy young mango salad, the blue crab curry with vermicelli noodles, and the fried salt & pepper pork belly, but we honestly doubt you can go wrong regardless of what you choose. The menu is in English, the place has plenty of fans to keep you cool, and the view of the Panwa Cape sunsets is quite pretty!

    Second review. After 5 months we returned to Panwa and on our first night we came straight here for dinner. The crab cake with lemon sauce was as good as I remembered last time, absolutely spectacular. The prawns in Tom Yum sauce exceeded my expectations. This is my number one favorite thing to eat in the world. Though be warned, it is spicy hot. What is amazing is that you can taste the prawns through the Tom Yum sauce. The pork green curry is delicious. Mild and tasty. Fried fish was as good as before. We picked the bones clean. My daughter ate the Carbonara. She ate is all so that must say it is brilliant as she is as fussy as anything. We are here for 10 days again. I expect we will eat here a few times as the food, service, price and ambiance make me know I am in Panwa, in fact, this is Thai Food as good as it gets and this is how to eat well and live life. Now the children are eating strawberry sundaes, playing happy family's while my wife and Iare hitting the Panwa Coconut Cocktails. First sip, heaven. As is raining heavily, we expect to drink a few. Original review below: It is always the way, at the end of our 10 days in Panwa we found the best restaurant in the area. The crab and prawn cakes are spectacular. The prawns in Tom Yum sauce are devine as is the Fried fish with papaya salad. We booked at table at 6pm and sat and watched the most amazing sunset. The children had fillet steak and demolished those. There is plenty of western food here. This is a great place to eat and the ambiance and service is perfect. To finish of the night we has a couple of Panwa Coconut cocktails. These are delicious. I could have spent the night drinking them.

    The best meal out of any of the restaurants on this strip. The seafood was fresh and the waiter will even bring it out for you to check. The other waiters were attentive and friendly. The food was amazing I highly recommend the steamed soy fish and the crabs. Absolutely delicious I can't recommend this place more.

    We went for an early dinner. Everything was fantastic. We ordered a crab and holy basil grilled squid, with a mixed salad. The food was fresh, the view was amazing too. The staff was very friendly, gave nice recommendations and even showed us how to eat the crab (we have never had it before)! For drinks we had a coconut and pinacolada, all very nice and served fast. The place was not too busy, but I suppose maybe we went there at an awkward time (around 5 pm).

    It’s got to be seen in the contest if a little corner of Phuket where hotel restaurants are disproportionately expensive and there are not many good local restaurants. We went there yesterday for lunch and today for dinner. Location is top, servers friendly, food very tasty and prices cheap, in line with the other locals but tasting better. Especially the squid with Thai basil and the prawns with lemongrass salad were brilliant. Will surely go back, and I wish them all the luck that they deserve after two horrible years !

    Good Thai foods with great value.

  • 1/5 Laura Kieft o. 4 months ago on Google
    Oysters are not fresh, they sell them as fresh however they were served iced and we returned them. The crab and soup were acceptable. Service and hospitality has to improve. Note down that they have menus with different prices..

  • 3/5 Jayon S. 7 months ago on Google
    Average food quality at a kinda expensive price. Tomyum is diluted and fried pork belly with garlic is not good. However, fresh oysters are really good as well as the grilled prawn.

  • 4/5 Azhar I. 9 months ago on Google
    Pretty decent food albeit some were sweet. But overall was nice considering the price point. Comes with a great view too.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 1 year ago on Google
    Exceptional food, for the price I’m not sure I’ve seen better. Fried chicken in local curry sauce and crab cakes are of particular note

  • 5/5 KRule 10 months ago on Google
    wonderful local food. They have a huge and confuaing menu which can deter lots of international travelers. I went with the really local items and they are amzing. The veggitable dip wiyh minced shrimp is mind blowing.. If you are in the world of Asian flavors I wouldbtotally recommand it

  • 5/5 Robert B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best restaurant on this strip, better prices and better quality. Unless you want karaoke at night time no reason to go anywhere else for fish, ask them to show you what’s fresh and then tell them how you want it prepared. You’ll not be disappointed :)

  • 5/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    So we ordered a 'steamed fish with ginger and plum sauce. We had Barramundi. In our view this should be emblazoned in neon lights and their signature dish. As my partner said "that was THE best fish I have ever eaten period".

  • 4/5 Jennifer L. 2 years ago on Google
    Reasonably priced food! They just reopened after being closed for a whole year. We got yum woon sen, bbq squid, grilled prawn, and a few other dishes. Pad curry crab meat could be better.

  • 4/5 Benjamin L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to eat. To this point i've gotten used to a little more friendly catering. But I still can't complain. We had some mixed Veggies and the stir-fry softshell crab along with bluemussels. It was really good.

  • 3/5 Christian G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent location, excellent beer and the food were good too. We snapped some pictures at the promenade after the good food.

  • 5/5 Luan & P. 6 years ago on Google
    ~~ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! ~~ Been a long time I haven't enjoyed such nice Thai taste. Fresh ingredients, they even give attention to details in the cooking for more flavor, to fry fish Thai style with fresh green pepper.

  • 5/5 James W. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing food. Went here a couple times while staying at a nearby resort that was within walking distance. Very good cocktails and authentic Thai dishes. Went in Mid May so it was very hot and humid, but they have fans everywhere and the sea breeze comes into the restaurant as well.

  • 5/5 silentripper01 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious, authentic southern Thai food. The yellow curry is very hot, which is the way I like it.

  • 5/5 Leigh S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent, authentic food served by very friendly staff at a reasonable price!
