    I had such a fun experience at Oyster Bar X Koh Samui. The staff were very welcoming and professional. Kitchen gave me amazingly cooked food (deep fried octopus), uber delicious scallops and expertly shucked fresh oysters. Wide array of appropriate drinks to compliment the food. Venue was small yet full of character and really stylish. Will definitely visit again. Special mention to Babe who made sure everything was awesome during my visit, thank you so much and see you again!!

    Great place for oyster lovers. They have a big range of fresh oysters from around the world. Staff are brilliant and speck very good english. They are very helpful and informative about the oyster range. Google maps doesn't quite get you there, they are on the same road as the bars around the boxing ring and 50m or so past the intersection where google takes you too.

    Fresh oysters from France, USA, Italy, Russia and some more best part of the world. The best mussles pot cooked with white wine&herb I've ever had!! Try Japanese deep fried oysters also recommended. S Good service. Staffs here are friendly. They have very good knowledge about oysters and they can give me information about the selections. *Should book the table in advance, seats are limited.*

    Great experience sampling freshly shucked oysters from various corners of the world. Came here with a group of friends and first experience was great looking at their extensive menu list and readily equipped iPad showing images of each and every single one of their dishes - very thoughtful and hospitable in the most modern sense. Myself and companions opted for the oyster platter with two different varieties. There were six pax so we got to try 2 different types of oysters each- unfortunately cannot recall the regions from the first platter. Although, my personal drawback would be that I am not a keen oyster eater and frankly do not know much about them, but my friends all absolutely loved their bites and Chablis wine pairing that also comes with the set. Beyond the 12 oysters were the Hokkaido scallops: 6 in garlic butter sauce and the other 6 in ponzu sauce - all enjoyable, although the pieces I think were a little small compared to Hokkaido typical sizes. The Irish whelks was delicious and paired so nicely with the Thai seafood dip - my personal highlight. The prawn salad and the truffle ravioli were also some nice contrast to enjoy alongside the heavy briny flavours from the oysters. Of course with the wines, we later opted for riesling which was another enjoyable pairing aside from Chablis. There were many more extensive wine selections to enjoy. It became clear only a few minutes that the first platter wasn't enough, so we opted for another selection the second round with 3 more oysters to sample for each person. The three different types of oysters were from Italy, France and the US. Each oyster tasted unique and different, which was a great experience. Another quality absolutely worthy of mention is the interaction between the staff and the guests. It felt very top notch from the hospitality, attentiveness and their comprehensive explanations on each types of oysters. Absolutely many positive memories and warmth made alongside the enjoyable dinner. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to enjoy oysters. I for one can confirm that they are freshly shucked - having also learnt that they are eaten alive to my dismay. I can't personally say that I like oysters, but drawing on all of my friend's reaction I really cannot see the fault in any ways. Although, one tricky aspect of this spot is its location in a rather small alley / soi, which when finding places to park your car can be a challenge. The pricing is also premium, and they serve the San Benedetto for still water I think - so this is something to expect when dining here. All in all, enjoyable food and good company.

    We visited as a family of three. As a recommendation from a friend. The food was spectacular, the service was wonderful. Everything was explained, food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend. It is a bit pricey but price is in line with excellent food. It’s also good to take glasses if you need one because menu is on the phone ;) also it is good to reserve place in advance because the place is quite small

    We have tried “01 explorer set”! What a great gastronomic experience! We would highly recommend this place! Prices are high, but so is the quality! Scallops and oysters are my top favorites. In addition, the staff is very professional and helpful.

    We found the advertisement for this restaurant in a magazine during our flight. Because we were looking for a special place to celebrate birthday we decided to go here and we are glad that we did! The food was exceptional, the staff extremely friendly and happy to explain and tell the story behind the food. Good atmosphere! If you are looking for a special place in Koh Samui definitely try this restaurant

    Unexpected first class delight of raw oysters from around the world. Was excited to see oysters from my home region of Puget Sound. They also have a fried menu should you not partake in digesting raw oysters.🙃 Beautiful presentation.

    Amazing food. Amazing service. Cutest little bar. Food so good we ordered more. We had Thailand oysters, scallops and lobster tail. Table next to us had full lobster and crab legs - both huge!! Would definitely recommend. Also got a cute little shell as a gift and some free passionfruit sorbet.

    Delicious meal! Excellent food with a very professional service. The Oysters are extremely fresh and the staff was very helpful in explaining about each type. For those who don't eat shellfish, they also have a delicious lobster pasta and mushroom risotto. This particular day the electricity in this part of town went out but the staff lit up the shop with candles and other lights which made the atmosphere very lovely.

    Freshly shucked oysters and staff will explain about each type of oyster. Nice oyster bar display. So far, the oysters are good and fresh, other food is also enjoyable :) Note: Better come visit the place by motorbike or taxi because it’s quite hard to find a spot for car parking.

    Embark on a unique oyster journey where the freshness and flavor surpass any other. With a weekly shuffled selection, each visit brings new, sustainably-sourced varieties that are notably fresher and more delicious than anywhere else. The knowledgeable team enhances this global culinary adventure, making it perfect for both oyster aficionados and newcomers. A must-visit for an unparalleled oyster experience.

    This is a great little spot. We were wandering through Lamai beach area at 3 in the afternoon. We happened across the Oyster Bar as they were setting up for the evening. They invited us in and opened a table for us. (They don’t open until 5) The service is great. We were taught all about oysters and ended up trying several types. They have a great selection of beers and scotch that you don’t see in many places on the island. The cocktails are great as well. My wife and I had a great time.

    Hands down best Oysters - Caviar - Escargot In The Island! Wide selections of Oysters & the staff there have good knowledge of everything & what to recommend! The Caviar is crazy good! Escargot were one of the bestI had so far They only need to step up on the vodka selections (high end oyster bar bring in some high end vodka selections) everything else is perfect

  • 5/5 Cha C. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful!! Really worth a visit. We ordered the gold selection by Ostra Regal, Gillardeau, Josephine, Skookum and L'emeraude. All of them are super fresh and tasted really good. If you don't know which one to go for, staffs are more than ready to recommend. Other dishes are also delicious. Finish your day here won't make you disappointed 😉

    Fresh and delicious oyster, mussels. Various type of oyster from around the world are available for your experience and acceptable price. Staffs are also very kind and welcome with caring manners.

  • 5/5 david w. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice oyster bar with friendly wait staff with oysters from Europe and America. The French Josephine Oysters are amazing. Just be warned these are imported and not Local Oysters so expect European prices definitely not Thai prices lol.

  • 5/5 Shaun P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely the best experience in Koh Samui. I was highly recommended by a friend, and as someone who loves oysters, I had to go try. First of all, getting a reservation is highly recommended, and it was super fast and easy to do so. When we first arrived and before ordering, we already got to experience the great service from the staff there. They clearly explained everything and also about the different oyster selections on hand. We ordered almost every type of oyster, Irish welks, deep fried squid, mussels, and the surf clam. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff thoroughly explained to us which order to eat the oysters to get the best taste, and we learned so much. We also learned from them how to check if the oyster is fresh and still alive (and all the ones we got were!). They have a good selection of wines and drinks, which are all reasonably priced as well. Overall I give this a perfect dining experience - great service, great food, price is reasonable given the quality of food you get. The service and food quality is better than I've experienced in some fine dining restaurants. Bravo to the team!
