    Very good location. Expensive and service is not really good. Tom yum koong n fried rice portion is big and taste good. Shrimp is very fresh. Very disappointed with the steak. It was horrible. Asked for medium rare steak, it come out as hard as the stone.

    Loved it! Great vibe, and equally great service, with a very varied menu, and perched right on the sea. On my Thai partner's most valuable reckoning, this was the BEST mango salad that she's EVER had (high praise indeed!), and my papaya salad was of the very highest order too!

    Visited Buddies twice during our trip. The food was fabulous, right on the beach. You can sit on the beach or inside weather dependent. Staff great, no rushing. Definitely recommend.

    Don’t let appearances fool you—the decor may be divey, but the pies are fantastic. This place is perfect for groups or a casual date night.

  • 5/5 John K. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly place serving good quality food throughout the day. English breakfast to start the day. Possibly the best available on the beach.

  • 5/5 Scotty p. 4 months ago on Google
    Brilliant experience. Friendly and welcoming staff, attentive and polite. All food options were delicious and full of flavour. Mango sticky rice was a good way to finish. Recommend you to visit here.

  • 5/5 StephMyLife T. 3 months ago on Google New
    We had a great meal here, and the price was reasonable (1200 baht for 4 people with dessert too). Garlic & pepper chicken was great, so was the penang curry. It’s a simple place for a bite on the beach.

  • 5/5 Amanda D. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant place. Came here most nights for my dinner and the staff were so beautiful and welcoming. They are very popular and get very busy so can be a little wait but be patient because the food is worth it and the staff are more than attentive. Thanks guys 🙏🏾💕💐

    Came for the raving reviews of the seafood, left unable to eat half my plate. Ordered the half kilo of grilled prawns which arrived singed yet undercooked and utterly tasteless. Steamed rice was equally bland. There are much better options on the island.

  • 4/5 El G. 1 year ago on Google
    We came specifically for the seafood. I liked the pricing as it was clear and not going by the kilo. Not playing annoying music was another plus. (I think the bar next door was playing jazzy music and they themselves were on mute) As it often drives me nuts in other places.

  • 4/5 Benjamin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a good dinner at this restaurant - wasn't too busy on a Saturday night, although I did eat quite early. The deep fried fish with mango salad was good (and very filling), although was a little oilier than I would have liked. The price was ok, and probably comparable to other similar restaurants/dishes.

  • 5/5 Richard B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food at great prices, served by friendly staff. Dine on the white sand beach overlooking the clear blue sea.

  • 5/5 Shannon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Five stars because they can accommodate vegetarians (and I think people with gluten sensitivities as well). The owner is very kind - they also run a bakery in Rayong and a hotel right behind the restaurant. Check it out if you're hungry on the beach!

  • 5/5 Siobhan J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place on the beach - love the ice coffee and every dish I ate there! Can easily pass the day here

  • 5/5 Elizaveta S. 5 years ago on Google
    had lunch there many times, thai dishes were just amazing! the service is super efficient, the place is always packed during lunch and dinner times

  • 5/5 Kristina C. 5 years ago on Google
    We had great time, breakfast, lunched and dinners. We stayed on their chairs whole day long and we got great service. The food is very delicious! Will visit again any time soon.

  • 5/5 Tarek Ahmed K. 4 years ago on Google
    Food quality is good and fresh. They served us live prawns grilled with thai herbs. It tasted great! We also took seafood fried rice which was average.

👍👍 We loved everything here. Tried every dish during our stay. The people are great, the portions are large and the prices are very affordable. All dishes are full of flavor. Everything is made from scratch, so if you have to wait for a table or your food, it is well worth the wait. Try this place...

👍 Taste is regular but if compare to price and other restaurant is ok. Place is quite quiet to other restaurant in Sai-Kaew beach. There is live music at night. I just have only fried squid with salty egg yolk, light seafood Tom-Yum and chopped shrimp Thai omelette (too oily).
