This place was surprisingly great- looks simple from the outside, but the extensive menu catered to even my fussy 11-year old. Prices were reasonable, food quality was superb and service was friendly. Will definitely be having a few more meals here during our stay!

Despite some bad reviews here I decided to give it a chance. It turned to be one of my best choices of restaurant! The food was cooked well, delicious and served on time with a smile and well greeting staff. So either they read your review or just ppl leaving bad reviews were fossy I find this restaurant worth to visit! Surely I will come again for my next few days here ! PS. After my second time I’m still not disappointed. This time I managed to take some pics (last time I ordered chicken with cashews and fried rice with vegetables)

I had a very good Penaeng Curry. My kids loved the pineapple fried rice. That was beautifully caramelized and had a fantastic flavor. They also have so small toys for kids to play on while you wait for your food.

Good food, reasonable pricing and nice setting g although not on the beach or any view of it despite being close. If you like spicy food (I do) you really need to make the point. First Tom yam goong, I said spicy is OK, it was not spicy at all,second I said very spicy and it was moderately spicy. Polite and nice staff.

We stayed across the road at the Sunwing so this was our go to canteen 7 or 8 times we ate lunch there. Brisk service, very good food and extremely reasonable prices. From the outside, it's simple and doesn't look up to much as they haven't focused on making it a style restaurant, but don't let that hold you back. Its popular and always busy. All the dishes we had were very good, Thai, pizza (great crispy thin crust base), and the bill was always very wallet friendly. Recommended.

Simple traditional Thai setting, nice food. Coconut milkshake is the best. Cheapest along the entire street

Unfortunately, I only have photos of half-eaten food as it was so good! We ordered the basil pork which was the best we’ve ever tasted. The other dishes (green curry and stir fried vegetables) were equally good, especially for the price. Well recommended!
