"I ordered tom yum and glass noodle salad - everything was delicious, not spicy (at my request), quick and large portions. My husband ordered a fish steak and he was not lucky at all - fried defrosted fish and spoiled blackened lettuce.

"Fantastic experience 3 nights in a row. Great selection of dishes from Thai to European to international. Great seafood selections and lovely service! They also have chalk boards up everywhere with really nice deals like this red snapper in garlic butter sauce that was so delicious and the fish was so fresh !! House wine available too which was great choice. For some reason my red wine was cold ? But still tasted good. Highly recommend, absolutely delicious"

"We were staying at the Bophut Resort which also manages this Thai restaurant in the city. We had a late lunch there and were drivent to restaurant with the resort shuttle. We had prawn tempura to begin with followed by red duck curry, green chicken black pepper and coconut ice cream for dessert. The food was authentic and well presented. A very nice experience!"

"Best food we had in Koh Samui. Tried the Thai food at the hotels/beach clubs/cafes but this place was honestly the best food we had here. Would recommend here over any others and it’s a fraction of the fancy spots we went to."
