    Very nice staff! Great Thai food! Even the Western food is offered in a Thai way. I had the Chicken BBQ with tasty baked potato and amazing coleslaw.

    Great thai food, friendly service, very nice prices! Definitely worth to stop here for a dish. They also have western kitchen, but haven't tried that one. Cool bar in the same place in the evening.

    Best meal I had in a week exploring Ko Lanta. Had the green curry, papaya salad, grilled beef salad, fried cashew nuts with seafood and banana fritters. All in one meal. It's that good.

    Crispy Shrimp Burger + F.F. was a Joke. The best from this menu was the majonese. My Girlfriend ordered the Shrip BBQ !The 4 Shrimps were dry+ hard to peel. All in all to expenisve for the quality!!!

    Best Thai food I had in Thailand. Lovely personal. A bit pricey for “backpacker’s” budget. Anyway, would definitely recommend.

    A lot of people praised their green curry, thus as a huge fan of the dish, I picked that one. Got my expectations too high. So disappointed, lacked flavors and spices. Staff is super friendly though!

    Way Too busy. This place has decent food but they are so busy getting people in the restaurant that they don't have time serving them. Cheap and good food but worst service in Koh Lanta.

    Don't come here if you can't stand the flies sharing the dishes with you. And the food was bland. We tried the glass noodles salad, sweet and sour seafood (just prawns) and stir fried morning glory
