    Atmosphere: Very nice with excellent location along a street with many pedestrians which was great for people watching. Service: very attentive, friendly, and quick Food: two of us shared a sample platter which included fresh spring rolls, fried spring rolls, chicken skewers, and ribs. We also shares a spicy basil stirfry with duck. The sample platter was good and the stirfry was very good. Portion sizes were on the small side. Drinks: we ordered red wine (2 for 1 happy hour) and it actually wasn't bad for being in Thailand. Prices: a bit on the pricey side for the portion size but not overly unreasonable. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and I would recommend.

    We enjoyed all the Thai dishes we ordered. They have local to western dishes for the not-so-adventurous diners. They have friendly staffs who are able to suggest or recommend dishes that you might enjoy. They have free wifi like most restaurants or cafes in Koh Samui.

    Food was ok and well presented, we ordered Pad thai. One had small piece of wire from cleaning sponge, but they apologized and change the plate immidiately for a new one and didn't charged for this. Service is good and place clean.

    Very good food, reasonably priced. We had the red thai curry and the fried basil leaves with chicken. You can request to have your meal spicy or mild

    Just reopened. Professional menu with nice variety, slightly different from the average Thai. Delicious stir fry duck. Last night there were suddenly 50 people in the restaurant which was a bit to much for the waiter who tried hard. Nice for the staff to be open again!

    Very good food and drinks here. Staffs are nice and professional. Highly recommending pork stir fried with shrimp paste.

  • 5/5 Bianka D. 1 year ago on Google
    That was outstanding. We had 2 lobster and 3 giants prawns between us and like wow. Slightly expensive but if we had bought the same in Australia we would be paying 3 times the price. If you love seafood, don’t bother with other dishes just get the fresh seafood. Amazing! 5005 baht, 1050 baht bottle of wine included. 🀩

    Lovely and clean restaurant, friendly staff. Lacking a little English perhaps, and dishes not exactly as pictured. But hey, definitely nice food, reasonably priced, very friendly, and we have been a few times now :)

    Service is amazing. Every dish is delicious. Reasonable rates for what you get. A gem in Lamai town

  • 3/5 Leks S. 7 months ago on Google
    I really loved atmospheric and when we come it was empty inside, we were only two people in restaurant, and we have been waiting 40 minutes for our order. We have been waiting our order for about 5 minutes already when there are came a big group of people, they made an order and after a long time on a hot weather they brought food for these group, and not for us, even salad haven’t been served! We told it them and magically they brought our food in 1 minute… It looks like they forgot about us… food was pretty good but that service broke the whole mood and I didn’t want to eat all food we ordered because while we have been waiting drinks have gone and I only wanted to go anywhere where I can cool down…

    Food was delicious! Good portion sizes and decent prices for the area! We had chicken green thai curry and prawn red thai curry. All cooked to perfection

  • 5/5 Micha 3 months ago on Google New
    High recommended! We ate twice in this place. Lobster, barracuda and tiger prawn. Absolutely delicious and on point. Prices absolutely acceptable and no fake happy hours. Thanks a lot.

  • 5/5 George M. 4 months ago on Google
    Best service I have seen so far in Lamai, really 5 stars. Food was good as well as cleanliness of the premises.

  • 4/5 Vladimir K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with fresh seafood. Great taste from the wooden grill. Missed olive oil and salt on the food as the final touch for complete flavor experience

  • 5/5 Miitta S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious, I think the quality-price ratio is very good! The staff was very friendly. The road is quite busy but I didn't mind, chose a table where I could watch people passing by.

    Service was great, very attentive. Food and drinks were delicious and prompt. We will come back again soon

  • 5/5 Ivana K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice waiters, great food. A bit secluded from the main street so it's quieter. Perfect for a romantic dinner.

  • 5/5 Kato van H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cosy place and very friendly and english-speaking staff. The β€˜fish of the day’ (red snapper) was fresh and tasted really good. The ribs were also nice. A recommended, more quiet, restaurant in this busy area.

  • 5/5 Антон οΏ½. 6 months ago on Google
    Quick service, decently sized menu so you always have choice, meats and seafood were great, cocktails are not their strong side. Can recommend stir fry beef with pepper sauce

  • 5/5 Hikaru W. 5 years ago on Google
    I visited first day at Koh Samui Good Thai food with nice stuff Visa card is available at this place

  • 3/5 Just In C. 7 years ago on Google
    Really!? We went here on Google recommendations. Way over rated. Mussels were weak (pun intended) and their seafood sauces are a long way from proper. This place only reinforces why I don't spend lots of money on Thai food. Save yourself a couple bucks and eat Thai food where the Thai's do... at the market.

  • 5/5 Ross S. 1 year ago on Google
    More like modern Thai with traditional twist, Meals are served quickly and efficiently by quite a formal staff. I really can't fault the place, not terribly expensive, central to everything in lamai. A quick delicious meal then off to party. 3 years later they are finally open after closing because of covid. Could be different owners I can't be sure. Not as fancy as before but still a nice atmosphere and good food, worth a visit

  • 5/5 Aleksander W. 6 years ago on Google
    Great price and tasted veeery good. Every dish looks great. Sushi was awesome. Very good service.

  • 5/5 Linda V. 5 years ago on Google
    This place makes amazing fish and shrimps. Deep fried Sea bass in Thai herb is the most amazing dish here, we tried the king prawns in cooked with 3 sauces - garlic and pepper( very good) BBQ and Thamarind sauce, the Thamarind sauce is the best, but the rest was very good too. We came 3 nights in a row here and were super satisfied!
