👍👍 Amazing food - came here twice during my time in Railay. Ordered the BBQ fish with garlic sauce the first day, and BBQ shrimp the second. Both incredible - bit of a wait but definitely worth it!

    A small restaurant located on the east side. The chef at the front who expertises in grilling made us an unforgettable dish. His cooking skill is really good. The side dish (stir fried potatoes with butter and pepper) is the best.

    Can only comment on the Vegetarian dishes. They have a separate page in their menue for vegetarian dishes, more than 20 options. We tried two curries which were absolutely delicious but spicy, inform them if you don't eat spicy. Also tried two noodle dishes which were great as well. Friendly people, big variety for vegetarians, absolutely recommended.

    Coconut curry was divine. This place is a must eat. We also had spring rolls which had a great taste, fruit shakes which were not too sweet and really let the fruit shine.

    The price for seafood is displaced on the wall. The lady will weight the food and get your agreement before proceed. Food was excellent. We also ordered fried banana and coffee

    So good. Huge fish, perfectly fried and extremely fresh and hot coming out. 350 Baht, and it was a challenge for me to finish on own.

    We had dinner (fresh Red Snapper, BBQ style) at this place and it was simply perfect! The staff was super friendly and the prices were fair and reasonable. We could see how the fish was prepared and cooked so all in all a great experience! We can totally recommend this place to everyone who wants to have an authentic experience and great, fresh fish! If we’re back to Railey we’ll for sure come back again!

    We just visited this place cause it has high points in maps. The restaurant is very small when we visited there was no guest. The waiter vas polite but not understand english enough. We have a seafood lunch here, every dish was fresh, so you have to wait a bit longer. Some food has no price on the menu, if you chose one, they will show the food and the price after thely measure it. Not so cheap but it worth, good seafood.

    Grilled squid was best! My grilled prawn was a bit overcooked, however the garlic butter sauce was delicious. Fried rice with pineapple and shrimp did not suit my taste. ...I would definitely go back and try some other dishes:-)

  • 1/5 Diana S. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst thing ever! We waited about 1 hour for one garlic bread, seafood spaghetti and fried rice, and the restaurant only has six tables. The bread was from the day before for sure.. but this was not the worst part of the story. The spaghetti was supposed to have tomato sauce but in fact it was ketchup… and worse than that the spaghetti had MOLD on it, which is unsanitary and can lead to food poison!!!! It was so disgusting, and I got so nervous that I didn’t even got the nerve to take a photo, I just wanted to go away from that place. It was really a bad surprise, because we choose this restaurant by the rate on tripadviser and google! Beware of this restaurant!

    I have eaten definitely the best fish in my life. Tried curry fish, it was more than amazing. The ambiance of the restaurant does not look very appealing, but we went there trusting the ratings. We definitely recommend it. Very friendly people, family business. The food was just fabulous.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place for a lover of seafood. Everything was very fresh and tasty. I presume it's a family business. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. You can hand-pick fish or seafood yourself and then it's grilled in front of you. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Rūta K. 5 months ago on Google
    Went by Google reviews and they were right – super good and fresh fish restaurant (a lot of non fish as well). You choose fresh seafood (shrimps, prawns, fish, crab and etc), they weight it, say the price and get it ready on the grill basically in front of you. Sides/sauce comes with thr price. For 1 seabass, 4 huge tiger prawns, spring rolls, 3 big Chang beers and a sweet pancake for dessert – 1391 baht. This includes 3% charge for paying by card (it’s possible, not cash only!). Go and try it. 🤌

  • 5/5 Scott N. 5 months ago on Google
    Fabulous, the perfect dive for fish lovers. Super casual, friendly staff, and the seafood displayed for your choosing. The young guywho cooks the fish is the best.

  • 5/5 Scott N. 8 months ago on Google
    A hidden gem within Railay. A hole-in-the-wall look with the freshest seafood. Get out of your hotel, away from the inflated food charges, and try The Heart.

  • 5/5 Aleksandra S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best food I have ever seen and ate. Definitely recommend to everyone who wants to eat FRESH seafood

  • 1/5 Fred J. 1 year ago on Google
    Maybe we ordered the wrong dish but definitely not worth the 4.5 rating it has. The fried mussels with chilli sauce was 250 and there was like 10 mussels in there and each were tiny. Other dishes were ok at best. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 Bram 1 year ago on Google
    Super tasty food and amazing staff! The owner/chef explained everything about the fish and was very clear about the price (because you pay per 100g) making sure there weren’t any surprises afterwards. Totally recommend going here if you are looking for fresh fish!

  • 5/5 Kenny G. 1 year ago on Google
    My faaaave restaurant for veggies and grilled seafood. The chef really cares about presentation and a combined meal of a dish. I got two massive prawns with butter garlic sauce, potatoes salad and sauce. Very much worth the price as I was stuffed leaving. They have amazing curry crab and curries. I want to try their dessert rotis, Great service! I love the Heart!

  • 5/5 Cosma M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great prices, amazing food, possibly the best we’ve had in this part of Thailand. The staff is also very friendly and nice. We wish we had come here on the first day.

  • 5/5 Adam S. 5 years ago on Google
    Really good food! It’s hard to decide on this stretch and we took a chance. It paid off! We had two different types of stir fry and they were both amazing. Super cute family place, support the local business not just the big resorts!

  • 5/5 Ricardo N. 6 years ago on Google
    Wonderful homemade food, fresh fish, squid made on the spot, grilled. The sauce is amazing and the fish and seafood are fresh. You can also enjoy the sound of waves splashing. Cozy atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Marina K. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty food. They just received fresh fish when we came. Grilled snapper must have in this place. We we watching th process of grilling. Nice personal, few people speak English. You choose fish, they cook it for you, if you want more spicy just tell them. For seafood you pay for weight.

  • 4/5 Marijn de Vries H. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a cozy little no nonsense restaurant with great seafood from the grill and a friendly staff. Nice stall of fresh fish you can pick from whilst enjoying the beach people hovering by. Tiger prawns were nice and fresh and came with a yummy Thai sauce.

  • 5/5 Yabing L. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks to one review from 3 years ago, I came to this restaurant for dinner and mango sticky rice. It was out of this world. The ripe mango, the slightly savoury sticky rice, the crunchy stuff sprinkled on the rice, and the coconut milk are perfect together.
