“ Such amazing food!!!! I had the massalman curry and it was DIVINE! One of the best curries I’ve had in Thailand… we might even come back for lunch tomorrow! I wasn’t expecting lots because to a westerner it doesn’t look the most welcoming and there’s a pizza place that is a lot busier opposite, but honestly GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!!!! Every dish has a veggie option too which was great for me :) ”
“ Whatever you do, don’t be put off by the way this restaurant looks! We had read amazing reviews online and turned up and were a little unsure but we went for it and oh my goodness, best decision ever. The food was incredible. The best Thai food I have ever had. The couple who owned the restaurant were so lovely, checked how we wanted the spice of the food, and made some recommendations. We went for a few dishes to try it all. We had a beef massaman curry, chicken penang curry, fried chicken cashew nut, fried chicken with rice (the massaman was our fave!). They then went and made it themselves for us! Please go and enjoy the experience! ”
“ The food was worth the wait. The spice level for each dish was perfect. The portions were generous. The cost was very reasonable. It’s a small restaurant with one person working the front and a wonderful chef cooking in the kitchen. I will be returning with more friends soon. ”
“ After waiting for this place to open the 2 months I’ve been here…I finally got to try the panang curry which was delicious and so flavourful! Making this my new local spot and I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu! ”
“ Hands down the best food in Koh Tao at the moment. Had dinner here three out of five times (probably would have been 5/5 if we find her earlier) She is also very kind, accommodating and cooks from the heart, you really feel welcome and looked after. All the fried food, curries, salads - everything was mind blowing and top 3 best food we had during our whole trip around Thailand !! ”
“ Easily one of the best Thai food spots in Koh Tao!! The chicken dishes are unreal, honestly some of the best food I’ve had in Thailand. On top of that, the service is super warm and friendly. If you’re in Koh Tao, this place is a must Hugely miss this place and I cannot wait to be back! ”
“ THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT ON KOH TAO FOR THAI FOOD!!! I was here several times and I had some of the best Thai food in my last 3 weeks of travelling Thailand. My personal favorites: - Fried Rice Cashew w Pineapple - Yellow Curry Also had here the best Massaman Curry of my entire Thailand trip. The taste is really legendary and homemade. Yes you have to wait quite some time for your food, yes I have been waiting for 1,5 hours for my food and yes their service is rather slow, but it‘s worth every moment of waiting. She and her husband both are incredibly forthcoming and cute - the experience feels like being directly at home. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity for some of the best Thai food! ”
