    I come for dinner and I was alone not for a long time. Two groups of family arrived not discreet at all. But with the lovely atmosphere and nice old jazzy music it was a perfect moment. I'll take time to choose and to appreciate my plates. A good mixed fruit shake, shrimps tempuras (the best I've tried for the moment in Thailand) and a nice mixed salad spicy but not to hot (or you want hottie put the sauce on it). And for dessert I've tried the bananas boiled in coconut milk (really sweet and addicted for those who love both). I appreciate the place, people who serve and the owner here and discreet too. And for the price, a good deal for me.

    I came here for my first dinner on the island and the main woman (probably owner?) was so friendly and nice. She immediately made me feel at home and comfortable that day. I believe it is her mother who does all the cooking so it is truly homecooked food. I came back again for another meal and enjoyed my time here a lot! Always love to support women-owned / mother/daughter establishments when possible.

    The home made chicken spring rolls were delicious and original. Curries were finally Thai-spicy as very often restaurants assume we don't like true spicy food. We had a yellow and a green curry. The staff was also very friendly,

    (Translated by Google) Food was good, service was very friendly ... music may not be everyone's taste, rather 50 / 60s or so, times brisker in between ... ambience but 5stars !! (Original) Essen war gut, Bedienung recht freundlich... Musik mag nicht jedermanns Geschmack sein, eher 50/60er Jahre oder so, Mal was flotteres zwischendrin... Ambiente aber 5Sterne!!

    Nice little bar. Good virgin cocktails but totally uninterested service personnel. He just looked at the wall behind the bar or his phone... and his fellow colleagues sat there staring in mid air.

  • 5/5 Alison S. 5 years ago on Google
    Terrific food. One of my favorite restaurants on Ko Lanta. I got the steamed fish with lemon and garlic and my boyfriend got the green curry. Both were delicious and had just the right amount of spice. Highly recommend!

    We went here on our last day for drinks and some snacks after a terrible dinner at a nearby restaurant and was not really in good mood. But coming here was the best choice and we were able to end our trip well. The interior design was very lovely and drinks and food(we only had appetizer and desert but it was really good😍) were good as well. But the best part of this restaurant is Joom! She is the most loveliest person you could ever meet! We had great conversation together and will never forget! We were really sad that we only came to this place on the last day. We will definitely come back to Lanta and to the reataurant! Everyone whos on the island, PLEASEE pay a visit here☺️ you will never regret!

    This place is so much more than your standard Thai restaurants it is truly a cut above the rest. It is probably one of the best Thai restaurants we have eaten at anywhere in Thailand. We have eaten here many times before and had lots of different dishes and they have all been exceptional. Last night we had the Minced prawn cakes (homemade), the pork Tord sa moon prai (probably our favourite dish) and chicken kua kling (a sort of dry curry dish). The owner, Joom, is incredibly friendly and chatty and speaks great English. All the cooking is done by her mum, who can probably compete for Thailand's top chef! If you are in the Long Beach area you should definitely try this place.

  • 5/5 Rafael L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great and authentic, and we were able to feel the true heat of the southern Thai cuisine. The place was clean, and the people were very friendly. It’s also very reasonably priced with a great atmosphere.

    Lovely restaurant in koh lanta, staff are super friendly and welcoming and there is a great menu of traditional Thai food as well as western dishes if you feel the need but the Thai food is superb! Great for families and adults alike well worth a visit

    If you look for an ambient place and great flavours... this is the place to visit. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere created with little lanterns, lights and decorations just makes this place a lovely little food vacation. Gonna come back for sure to try more of these amazing dishes 🙏💚

    Came with my husband and daughter on our last night in Koh Lanta after staying 2 weeks and sadly, this was a huge disappointment. Chicken Penang was bland and watery. My family’s meals were ok. Waitress also made a comment that was very personal and inappropriate (it’s a longer story) and while she did apologize greatly for it, it ruined our last night on this beautiful island.

    Good food

  • 4/5 xanthea a. 4 years ago on Google
    The burgers here where amazing and decently priced compared to other restaurants selling western food. Our server Joom went above and beyond with service and was honestly an Angel. However the manager loudely and very rudely interupted Joom in the middle of taking our order, he continued to reprimand her openly during the duration of our meal. When it was obvious she was run off her feet, instead of assisting with customers he sat there drinking a beer. His behaviour was highly unprofessional. Even during the managers condescending and mean treatment towards her Joom continued to provide consistent and attentive service to us overall making our meal a very plesant experience.

    Delicious food, great music choice, best cocktails ever

  • 5/5 Michael G. 4 years ago on Google
    Where do I start? Probably the best food in all of Koh Lanta. The Yellow Curry was absolutely perfect and cooked with a great amount of spice. The two running this place are friendly,and the ambience is perfect. I am so glad I stumbled upon this little restaurant. The shakes are also absolutely fantastic, made with the utmost care. If I ever make it back to Koh Lanta, will be making multiple stops here.

    Came here recently because of the decent reviews, but was thoroughly disappointed. Understand the ongoing pandemic means that staff aren't necessarily prepared. However, couldn't help but feel like we were interrupting whatever session they were on (pupils were so obvious). Originally came to eat and have a few drinks, but felt uneasy trusting staff with food and was being swarmed by mosquitos. Wanting to contribute, we stayed for a quick beer. As there were no beers (again understandble), staff went to 7 Eleven to buy a multipack of Leo, ripped it open in front of us, then charged 140B a bottle. In dire times, the optics were questionable.

👍👍 My friend recommended May's and I certainly wasn't disappointed, large menu selection offering a good choice of western and Thai food at very good prices. The ribs we had were amazing, so tasty and fell off the bone (250 baht. Wow). Staff also very friendly, I would also recommend May's 😎

👍👍 Best food on the island. Best value, the portions are generous, will not be disappointed. We ate multiple times, the Tom yum is the best I had in Thailand, not just this island. I also had the clear soup, their spring rolls are the best too. Every time great food, quick service.
