    My favorite restaurant in Railay! I have eaten here nearly every day for 2 months, and I can say with certainty that everything on the menu is amazing and very affordably priced. They get fresh ingredients every single day, so everything tastes better than what you might find in the nearby hotel, and is very clean - I literally eat every lunch/dinner here and have never gotten sick. There is a wonderful family that runs the restaurant, and a large space upstairs for watching the sunset or having a bigger gathering (just ask!). Some of my happiest moments in Railay have been at Welcome Back.

    The food is very nice here and the prices are more than reasonable. After I had found this place, I ate here for 3 more times. Every time, it was worth it.

    Delicious! We got the BBQ fish, BBQ Tiger Prawn, Shrimp Pad Se Ewe, and mango sticky rice. All were super enjoyable and for a really great price too! On top of that, the service was great, very friendly.

    This restaurant is one of the best in Railay Beach. The food is good, and it's located just beside the pier (though you won't see nice water all the time). The staff are very polite and friendly. The lady at the cash register always has a smile and tries her best to communicate with you in English. It's also a halal restaurant if you're looking for that.

    Really good authentic Thai food! The upstairs is airy and the staff are really friendly. We had a fantastic wing bean salad and a tasty fresh panang curry.

    Oddly enough, we tried the most delicious food in Thailand in this small, poor eatery. We sincerely admire your cuisine. Thank you for the warm welcome and amazing food. ❤️ If we could, we would give all three stars to Michelin it to you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The food is delicious and the price is great and the structure is very simple, but in Railay it is common. I ordered a Pad Thai and a fried rice with seafood, but the Pad Thai was better.

    My family have been trying all sorts of Thai restaurants in the area and we have concluded that this restaurant is the best. The service is very attentive, communicative, and engaging. We ordered the fried prawns, the instant noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice, a passion fruit smoothie, and mango sticky rice. Everything went above and beyond our expectations and I certainly suggest this restaurant to anyone who may be speculating what to eat or in need of advice. มาที่นี่เพื่อกินอาหารอร่อย Mā thī̀ nī̀ pheụ̄̀x kin xāh̄ār xr̀xy Come here to eat, the food is tasty.

    They do an amazing looking seafood barbecue, the food tastes really amazing. The atmosphere is like at a friend‘s place, the people are authentically happy and open. The prices are at normal levels for Thailand. Totally recommend going there.

    After discovering this gem, we came here every night on our trip to Krabi. We always got the fresh seafood and a few salads and vegetables from the kitchen. The food and service was great! This is definitely the best place to grab food in the area!

    Seafood pad thai for 100B + papaia shake (from real fruits, no sugar) for 60B - both very very good, better than most we ate so far in Thailand.

    The place was empty as we entered but other places also had just a few guests. The actually had great food and very friendly staff ! It was perfect for our first night yesterday. Their cat was cute. Also they had the best prices at the street. Mostly around 60 to 100thb as you can see at the pictures. Cocktails at Happy Hour 120thb !! We will go there again today or tomorrow.

    Unclear how this place has so many good reviews—we got some of our food (which was the wrong order) with a fried beetle in it. Then the pad Thai was made with tomato sauce, as it was bright red. Not good at all. Steer clear.

  • 2/5 Daniel S. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Hmm, i don’t get why this restaurant has a rating of 4+. Food was way too less, I’d guess 70g meat, burger was dry so i took some mayo and ketchup on top 🙈 I was able to count the fries. About the service: I needed to pick up my drinks from the guy who was waiting at the stairs 🤷‍♂️ Strange.

  • 2/5 JamesSteane 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    The food here was pretty good but the service was awful. We ordered grilled prawns, stir fried chicken, and French fries to share. The fries came out first, we ate them while waiting for our meals. Then my meal (stir fry) came out ages later, which I ate. Then ages later again my partner’s prawns arrived. No apologies for the delays and I would expect everything to be brought at the same time. Not sure if they were understaffed but had to ask twice for a toilet and was eventually shown to one. The food was reasonable but definitely not worth the wait!

    After trying a few places looking for delicious, authentic and cheap food we came across The Welcome Back Restaurant. Cozy place with seating upstairs and down. Very friendly and helpful staff. Had a delicious veggie curry with rice and mango sticky rice to follow. Will definitely be coming back for more tomorrow night.

  • 5/5 Ángela Bohórquez S. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried the barbecue tilapia and barbecue chicken and it was super good. Also the pineapple rice and soy vegetables. I fully recommend this place.

  • 5/5 andres p. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and prices! The deep fried crab with garlic is a must-try.

  • 1/5 Vladimir Z. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s extremely rare that I leave a bad a review, but the food was inedible. First we waited 30 mins for the food to arrive. We ordered two dishes… One was so salty, that we had to send it back. The other, they served chicken even though we ordered shrimp. To top it all off, they overcharged us for one of the dishes, which we didn’t notice until getting home. Stay away!

  • 5/5 Caroline W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Food, Asked them to make me a Masaman Crab Curry. Wow, it was Divine. Could not get through it all.... Next day I had Stir fried Morning Glory with chicken. Just lovely and subtle Oyster sauce.

  • 1/5 Kiwi L. 3 years ago on Google
    Can't speak for the Thai food... but my gf and I both order burgers; she ordered a beef burger and I got a chicken burger. The beef burger was uncooked and the chicken burger was inedible and flavourless. 😐

    (Translated by Google) Food was good, the fish was great. The service was quite unmotivated and you shouldn't be afraid of cats, as there are a few walking around now and then. (Original) Essen war gut, der Fisch war toll. Der Service war recht unmotiviert und man sollte keine Angst vor Katzen haben, da ab und zu ein paar herum laufen.

  • 1/5 Hwee Bun K. 1 year ago on Google
    wanted to try western food since this seemed popular among westerners - but the chicken burger with fries was a disappointment. the chicken was just a thin and tasteless patty, and the fries were so hard they couldn't be poked with the fork at all. chicken massaman curry was fine, but we were charged more than the stated menu price. i'd advise to stay away, for there are other better restaurants in railay.

  • 5/5 Cristina N. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant!! Everything was delicious!!! We ordered a masaman curry, padthai and thai omelet and everything was fanstastic, the curry was the best. The price is also hard to beat, 3 main dishes, 2 smoothies and 1 sticky rice for 500 baht!

    Solid food and good quality/quantity for the prices. We came here two nights in a row for fish - one steamed, one barbecued. Had reservations about ordering barbecued fish but it was actually the best I’ve ever had! The coconut + yoghurt shake was good too.
