    Good restaurant with very attentive staff and a nice sea view. They have some very interesting menus that are more local dishes that are particular to the island such as the "kue ji" เคยจี่ which is slightly grilled krill paste, which comes with assorted vegetables. Also another island dish is the "hed loop" เห็ดลูป which is sea anemone. I'd you've had sea cucumber it's very much like it only a bit more chewy. The som tum was great large portions. The crab was nice but not sure if it's because I came whole not crab season so they seemed like they were frozen before. All in all I'd come back. The menu is interesting and has unique dishes. The dtaff are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and the view is nice. It also has a wheelchair ramp so it's very accessible.

    This restaurant is, without doubt, one of the best in Samui and has been for many years. It is always very popular with Thais and foreigners. The setting is perfect on the beach, with stunning sea views, and it has a great atmosphere. The Thai food is very very delicious (amongst the best in Samui) and well presented. The extensive menu also has western food, but haven't tried it. Today we especially enjoyed khua kling gai (a southern Thailand spicy dish - chicken), deep fried fish and mango salad, which were all fantastic. The service is always excellent. I've been many times to this restaurant and it is always very good, very consistent.

    Very good Thai food with a lovely view of the ocean and their own little private beach with lots of picturesque spots for Instagram. Kind of photos, good cocktails and reasonable prices

    One of my favourite places when coming to Samui. Variety of foods and foods are also fresh as well. Good taste with reasonable price, and good quality. Staff is attentive. Better try with recommended menus as its very yum. Nice ambient.

    The location right at the beach is ideal for a late dinner and a fresh breeze from the sea makes it almost perfect. We found the food pretty average. The texture of the prawn cakes felt a bit to soft and overall the food lacked a bit flavour. The fried rice with crab was the best with great flavours and cooked to perfection. Service was good.

    Nice simple meal by the beach. We did not get the seafood as it was quite expensive. The gravy wide noodles were kind of salty, but the vegetables were great. The dark sauce noodles were flavourful. The attitudes of the staffs here could have been better.

    Worst meal we have had in Thailand. Trust the other reviews - they all say the food is rubbish but the view is good. Yes the view is good, but so is it at every place along the coast. 'Seafood salad' was a pile of undressed shredded raw cabbage, with a few bits of prawn / squid on top. Really not what you expect in Thailand when everything is flavoured with fresh herbs, sour/spicy/salty sauces etc. They didn't bring lime or chilli flakes for the pad Thai, and they used the wrong type of noodles. Service was poor. And it was the first restaurant on our 9 month trip that has had an issue with us bringing the big bottle of water we are carrying in with us. We are ordering food and drinks - let us drink our refillable water rather than ordering single use little plastic bottles. So many other amazing places nearby. Avoid this place.

    Really pleasant restaurant with a gorgeous beach behind it. Nice views for sunset, friendly staff, with nice food with a few unique local dishes. The thai omelette was particularly good as was the spicy mango salad. Excellent value, recommended!
