    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 first so you have time to come back because you will want to! Some of our favorites were the Thai Basil and Special Steak. Both were excellent if you want a break from yummy rich curry soups but the Soups were awesome too! Oh and don't forget the HOMEMADE and REAL French Fries, just like back at grandmas. We cant wait until we visit again. Esther and Omer from Toronto, Canada, miss everything about this place.

    Went on each of my 3 days on the island - loved the food and kind service. Prices so reasonable and everything delicious. Had tom kar gai, stir fried basil and chilli chicken, kang pa, and mango and sticky rice all fabulous and generous portions too

    Surely the best restaurant in town. The food is amazing, no matter which meal you order, it's all cooked with lots of enthusiasm and fresh ingredients. Prices are fair and honest and last but not least, the owners are super friendly. They will have a nice chat with you, help you out with some info and tips about the island and they will take care you the very best they can. Definitely our favourite restaurant on Koh Samet and we will come back here again for sure.

    Our favorite food on Koh Samet. One of the staff was really friendly with our 10 month old baby, even going so far as to bring her a banana to eat. The food is excellent, and a great price compared to many other places around the resorts. Enjoyed all the curries we ordered. Highly recommend.

    Be prepared to wait for at least an hour for your food. We ate here 3x, the food were all great, but just the waiting time can ruin your mood for a while. Recommend dishes: Tom Yum Shrimp soup and Red Curry chicken soup.

    Best curry I’ve ever had. Hands down. Staff was insanely friendly. Vibe was fun and easy going. I’ll be thinking about this place for a while.

    Friendly, family-run restaurant (mum, dad and two daughters). They don't take bookings and only have 6 tables, so arrive before 7pm if you want a seat. Tasty food - the Thai omelette was particularly good.

    Hands down the best restaurant on the island and one of the best meals we had during our time in Thailand. Wonderful and friendly owner and absolutely everything was top notch. I dream of the garlic squid to this day many years later.

    Gotta love the older couple that run this place. It appears to double as their home and you get the food they want to serve at their pace. However, the good news is that the food is excellent and you can treat their "service" as added entertainment 😀

    Since I arrived on beautiful Koh Samed I enjoyed every breakfast and dinner @this nice restaurant. Absolutely excellent food and great nice stuff. Not on the beach but all day worth a visit.The homemade iced tea is amazing. Come back for the next days for sure. Hopefully they will have a lot of customers in the future - all the best to the amazing team 🙏🏽 @🍌🇹🇭👏🏻👌🏼

    Food and price absolutely amazing. Best Tom Ga soup I have had so far. Just don't expect super fast food delivery, relax, enjoy a beer or two while waiting, and you're in for a treat. Very limited seating, so either come early or will have to get lucky.

    Excellent food. We ordered tom yum and masaman curry and they were delicious! Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Luk A. 8 months ago on Google
    The omelet smacked a little bit too much of oil, but the Pad ka pao was very delicious. You have to order rice separately, that's why you pay more than 200thb per person quickly.

  • 5/5 Lydia M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Best affordable food we could find on our 5 day stay in Ko Samet. The owner was a very kind old lady. Her cooking was amazing and authentic. My mom and I were traveling and she even „protected“ us from some odd men who wanted to sit with us. The prices are fair and she was turning away customers the whole evening because her place is just that good. Can definitely recommend.

    Lovely restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very reasonable, great food, lovely family running it. All dishes are freshly cooked so you may have to wait a little but definitely worth waiting.

  • 5/5 Olino A. 1 year ago on Google
    THE BEST restaurant on Koh Samet. Period. Had many meals for dinner or breakfast, every one was excelent in taste. Staff is very kind. Place itself might not look tempting, but dont let yourself judge book by its cover.

  • 5/5 Benjamin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little family run restaurant not far from the main beach on Ko Samet. I ordered yellow curry and steamed rice, which was very good - spicy, but not insanely so, and fairly cheap. The woman who took my order was friendly and the food came quickly. It was fairly busy when I arrived for dinner on the Friday night. Note that you need to take your shoes off before entering the restaurant.

👍👍 Winkks Beach Club restaurant is one of my favorite spots to eat. My wife and I have eaten here every day during our stay in Koh Samet. We thought about going to other restaurants, but you really can't beat this place. The view by the water, the atmosphere, the friendly staff. It's such a lovely expe...

👍 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).
