😐 Very friendly staff and a nice place. Sadly the food barely resembles Thai. Bland was the best description. If you enjoy bland Thai-like food at good prices this could be your place. There is a bar and pool table which looked nice. People often mention Thai, good, staff, chicken, nice, prices,

    Very annoying service, trying to sell you drinks/alcohol. Cheap but very small portions, so u have to order two meals and pay more then in other "more expensive " restaurants 😅

    Probably the worst Thai food you can get on the Island. Everything was bad. Thai tea tastes like powder, crispy pork is just 4 thin slices of lard covered in grease.

    What a waste of a meal. by far the worst Thai food I have ever had. Played it straight ordered Salt baked fish any street vendor can do, and for twice the price got pan fried fish with a bit of salt on the skin, and no traditional sides, like sauces and salad, basil leaves etc. Place next door was pumping but we were told 45min wait minimum, so decided to go next door...reason why they were not busy is so painfully obvious. Dont go there.

    For a good Thai meal. Highly recommended. Service is friendly and you can have both spicy and less spicy food. Enjoy your meal!

    Nice service good location. But this is a restaurant and the waiter was more entertaining than the food. Really bland and does not necessarily resemble the pictures. But for drinks and maybe a round of pool: anytime.

    The owner is trying hard to scam. Gave us a menu and wanted to pay different prices when paying. I told him it was wrong. He showed another menu and said those were the old prices. Don't get ripped off and try another restaurant instead.

    Disappointed in Google for showing a review indicating a great breakfast. Maybe 4 years ago. I ordered the "English Breakfast" @ THB199, the Cumberland sausage was a normal boiled sausage cut in 2. Bacon so thin it was transparent. Very strange long mushrooms. The orange juice was not orange. Oh well, serves me right for just glancing at the review. DEFINITELY OVERPRICED. AVOID THIS PLACE.

    Superb menu of Thai and western dishes. Clean cozy restaurant with friendly English speaking staff. Owner Goi is there to greet you with her big smile. A superb restaurant for the whole family or a romantic dinner at reasonable prices.

    Best restaurant at chaweng Beach. Food is very good and prices are fair! The cocktails are really good and strong! The menu card includes many typical Thai food. The staff is very friendly and you feel really welcome here!

  • 4/5 Mark N. 7 years ago on Google
    Nice clean establishment that delivers both western and Thai food of good quality. Prices were good for the quality and portion sizes we received. Standouts for the evening were the satay chicken and the Thai green curry, both above the average for Samui. Fish and chips had Malt Vinegar available which was great, though the chips were pretty average and came out of a crinkle cut frozen packet.

    Unauthentic Thai food. Not to be unexpected on this street but so many better restaurants. Portion size was good that’s about it food was bland and the Thai red curry was bizarre. Italian basil instead of thai basil and for some reason melon in this curry which resembled soup. If your looking for more authentic go somewhere else. Shame tho as nice staff

    So far I have reviewed two places including this one for poor reason too unfortunately. The environment was nice when we walked in and the waitresses were very nice. When we sat down and ordered the food looked, not like photograph artwork, but good looking and tasty looking stuff. We ordered drinks, I got a banana milkshake which was decent, given the fact you cannot really mess it up. The starters came, we got garlic bread (which was garlic bread so pretty solid) spring rolls (which didn’t taste like spring rolls in the slightest) and satay chicken which I will go on a tangent about as Thailand, among other south eastern Asian countries is a praised country for satay chicken which typically has a grilled yellow look with black charring to add to flavour, served with a peanut sause. What we got was a grainy peanut sause served with BOILED CHICKEN dripping with yellow residue. Excuse me, but what south east Asian person would BOIL chicken and have the privilege to say it’s “Satay” absolute disgrace, and complete false advertising. Onto our mains it was even more miserable, we got chicken stir fry with basil, one of my personal favourites which lacked the taste of garlic, Chili and basil which it should possess and just tasted of spice, devoid of flavour. There was a chicken cashew stir fry, I am unaware of the name, but it’s suppose to have strong hints of oyster sause and soy sause, when I tried it, I felt like I dipped a chicken tender into KFC gravy, a far cry from the Thai cuisine I was promised. There was a sun dried pork dish which was alright and ok seasoned, and a bowl of rice which was unfortunately the highlight of the meal as it was the best tasting thing there. We asked the waitress for the cook and she refused to take any criticism of her food but rather said “other people liked it” and overall was incredibly rude, we asked for a refund as the food was beyond the definition of the word disgraceful and they said “you get what you pay for”. I’m sorry but I was promised “Thai” cuisine, not that of a regurgitating sewer rat and what we were given was an overall disrespect to the whole of Thailand and the sas that the cook said that “she was Thai” means as much as nothing, if I can get a monkey who is from France and tell him to cook, it doesn’t mean he can cook French food. Overall the food was miserable, the place was miserable and the staff were abhorrent. If you can’t take criticism, don’t make food that fecal matter can compete with. Don’t go, you will become depressed the nanosecond your spoon, fork or chopstick, with that slop that they consider food, enters your mouth.

    You must visit this place if you’re visiting Chaweng area! There is so much choice of food, catering for both Asia and Western food. I highly recommend the pad Thai and sticky mango rice. Plus Thai express cater to dietary requirements :)
