This place will always be the best memory of my entire Krabi trip. Just over three days, I have developed a deeply emotional connection to this place. And I am writing this, while still being here in Krabi. I and my partner are staying at the Shell Sea. And we wondered if we could go to a nearby local place to eat. And Godle appeared just at the right moment. I must say that the Pad Thai here is one of the most authentic. You will not find such pad Thai even at Ao Nang Town and Market. The prawns and shrimps are so fresh. For a sea food lover like me, it turned out to be pure heaven. The lady who cooks and greets you does it out of pure joy and delight. She is so generous, o my god, I cannot begin to describe. She doesn’t speak English, but conveys everything with love, care and deep empathy. She is so much more than the owner and chef of this place. As I mentioned earlier: the food, the small seating area, the sea and the ambience is a deeply emotional experience for us. She also prepares an amazing fruit salad - all by herself - by the end of each meal. Today, as I write this, she prepared a special sweet dish with coconut milk and bananas - which was absolute divine. She never charged us for it. And that’s the reason I speak of her generosity here. Please visit Godle. Eat everything you can on the menu.i loved every single dish. Try out every prawn and shrimp dish with rice. Especially the shrimp in tamarind sauce. These are heavenly dishes made with a lot of, lot of love. ❤️

God-Le Restaurant, Krabi: When in Thailand, eat Thai. When in this quiet part of Krabi, eat God-Le. We were at Shellsea Resort which boasts self-acclaimed 5 stars but seemed more like 4 stars. The hotel is pretty, don’t get me wrong but I read so many reviews of God-Le that I must give it a go. It’s Thai food that could have made it to the Ritz Carlton’s of the world, at incredible prices. By now you would have combed through reams of reviews of the deceptively nondescript eatery sandwiched between the secluded roadside and the sea front. There aren’t many options when you’re staying at the stretch where Shellsea sits, meaning you’re mostly held captive by the resort. So venture out for this. It’s worth it. Turn right when you’re out of the resort. At first, you’re daunted by your decision as it’s just a stretch of tarmac and nothing else. Worse of all, there’s no walking lane. Your knees buckle as cars and bikes speed by. Where is the god damn God-Le, you might think like us. It’s a 5-minute brisk walk and you’ll see the name painted against the Greek blue of the rundown house. The restaurant is in a shanty but charming rickety hut. There are only a handful of tables and seating and the weak bamboo stilts that hold up the hut don’t give much hope. There are also rundown tables and seats nearer to the beach front. The Mediterranean blue of the bench is such a nice touch. The tables are all cleverly foliaged by trees and the combined effect is rustic, kickback and unpretentious. Bring your insect repellent as the feasting of the mosquitoes are about to begin. Otherwise, they provide a bottle of spray too. The lovely lady owner was so sweet. We were the only persons when the dined there so both times felt like we had a personal chef. On day 1, she was alone and took to the kitchen alone too. The 30 minute wait was well justified and empathized. You’ll soon taste the reasons why it was worth the wait. We ordered tomyum seafood soup, prawn vermicelli and fried prawns. Day 2 we had sweet and sour fried fish, green curry shrimp and shrimp pad Thai. They were heavenly and riched-up in tastes with herbs and natural ingredients. The vermicelli claypot was hands down our fav on day 1 and sweet and sour fried fish was the bomb on day 2. All dishes were cauldrons of explosive tastes. You get complimentary watermelon and mango sticky rice on the house. She was so delighted to sees on day 2 that she gave us free coconut juice. We were short of cash on day 2 and her brother and her insisted it was OK. They were so sweet and hugged us. It was so good we made two trips here and turned our noses up at the toity restaurant at our hotel. #eatstylishtravelstylish

Very nice place with ocean view. Nice arranged delicious Thai Food. Complimentary served fruits and yammy ice-cream, great! 🤗 Highly recommended! 👍🏻

Authentic family owned restaurant only 300 meters from the ShellSea hotel. Don’t be fooled by the looks of the restaurant, because the food was absolutely delicious, the view was beautiful and the hospitality was so kind. We greatly enjoyed our dinner and highly recommend to stop by and enjoy a fabulous meal by the sea. Krit was kind enough to drop us off back at the hotel at the end of our dinner as a gesture.

Best kept secret in Krabi. If you want to feel like you have been invited by a local family for an awesome homecooked meal, come here! Don't be deceived by the look on the outside! It's AMAZING!!!

Like people say Don’t judge book by the cover?! We stay in The shell sea hotel right next door to God-Le. Food and services here is amazing all the dishes we had is amazingly delicious authentic Thai. My husband is vegetarian the owner (chef) kindly made dishes for him (not in the menu)again were all delicious plus they were gave us local fruit as complimentary. I’m Thai I can tell you that was the best food we had during our trip in Krabi. If you’re in the area you must come and try it yourself you will be amazed.😋

The owners are the sweetest and kindest people I've met in Thailand. We ate there 2 times. Their food is absolutely delicious, and their spot has the best view in Krabi. Will definitely come back next time we're in Thailand.

A rustic restaurant that is located further from the touristy beaches. Very friendly and polite staff and at affordable prices! Complimentary fruits too! Highly recommended!

A little slice of heaven! My daughter and I were staying nearby for a few days and ended up here basically every lunch and dinner. The view is spectacular, the food is beyond delicious, the hospitality is heart warming and honestly couldn’t recommend it more! We love it so much and will miss coming here

We LOVED it here! Just the perfect meal- it’s a simple restaurant by the sea with breathtaking views and hammocks if you feel inclined to a siesta post-lunch. The food was the best of our trip and just so fresh and affordable - make sure to get the tamarind prawns. The owner even gave us complimentary dessert to round off an amazing meal 🥰

We went there for lunch. It was hard to enjoy the place due to humidity, mosquitoes and various insects crawling on the table. Hahaha. I've been to beach side restaurants, but I think the mosquitos were just a little too much for me this time round. We ordered grilled prawns but they quickly attracted the red ants. I personally liked the chicken basil, really spicy. So if you have low tolerance for spicy, please let owner know The owner is a very honest looking man and the pricing is affordable. So I didn't felt unsafe. So I guess if you are ok with the insects and mosquitoes, you can try experiencing God Le.

BEST food I have had in Thailand! The owners are so kind and generous, I felt like we were treated as family. I became very emotional as we pulled away, knowing this would be one of those moments that stay with you forever. So grateful we found this hidden gem!

Really lovely owners, good value menu and lovely setting, some of the best food I’ve had in Thailand would definitely recommend

Wonderful people and absolutely delicious! Brother is the waiter and his sister is the chef. Sadly I’ve forgotten their names. Stayed next door at ShellSea hotel for one week and ate here almost every day. My favourite dish was the stir fried spicy seafood with ginger. Also had pad Thai, papaya salad, whole fried fish, egg rolls, stir fried vegetables…. All bursting with flavour. Opens at 11am daily and closes whenever last customer leaves it seems. Service is quite fast considering 2-3 people operate everything. Photographed menu for ease of ordering for takeaway. You won’t be disappointed - enjoy!

One of the best kept secrets in Krabi. The food was delicious and the location so unique. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. The owners also, most hospitable people I’ve met here so far. If you’re in Krabi, you’ve gotta check this place out.

A hidden gem - Don't judge this book by it's cover! Authentic Thai cuisine, very hospitable owners with delicious food at a great price. Complementary fresh fruit and local pudding! A must visit if staying locally. Although we ate in the dark I can imagine the view is beautiful as right on the shoreline.

This place is a hidden gem. If you arrive here and see no body, don't worry. Because this place/area is not popular tourist attraction. But I am sure you wont' regret after you try their food. The foods here are very delicious. Further , the price is cheaper as compare with those restaurants in Ao Nang. The host can't speak good English but she is very helpful and friendly.

You sit right next to the sea which is lovely. Food is very fresh. People working here are super friendly.

Very nice restaurant! Super nice staff and owner. The food was very tasty and traditional. We also got a fresh fruit platter at the end and banana ice cream which made our meal even better! The view is beautiful, it’s a nice spot to have a romantic dinner with traditional Thai food :)

Very nice place overseeing the sea. There are hamacs to relax literally over the water. Good food you can enjoy there with a beer and the owners are very welcoming.

It doesn't look super attractive from the street point of view. but definitely worth going! Enormously cozy, friendly people and very good food.

Incredible food from the loveliest owners! They make you feel as if you’re a guest in their special restaurant with the most spectacular views! We ate lunch and then dinner here while staying at the ShellSea Krabi and it beat the hotel food hands down.

So delicious, better than you can imagine, the food is authentic and unpretentious. Excellent value. Warm and super friendly service. Wear insect repellent x

Absolutely amazing place & people. We had two dinners here - every dish was incredible. My sincere recommendation to everyone!

Amazing hidden gem by the sea. Sincere and passionate service. Delicious seafood and local cuisine. Cool and breezy in the evening. Also has a hammock to chill by the rocks while waiting for food. Highly recommended, worth the visit.
