"A must visit if in Koh Lanta! Food is so authentically delicious at such good prices. There were 4 of us, with 5 main meals, 4 appetisers and none of the dishes disappointed. (The best vegetable spring rolls we’ve had yet in Thailand) The service was amazing, with a very welcoming, smiley, atmosphere. Not to mention, one of the owners helped us get our tuk tuk cheaper to head to the next bar. The venue was a lovely, spacious, authentic, bamboo vibes, with a few fans around keeping it nice & cool!"

"Lovely owner, very friendly and able to answer questions about ingredients for my dietary needs :) Food came out very quickly, we had the Tofu Tom kha and garlic & pepper Chicken fried rice. Both dishes delicious! The soup flavour was incredible but not the strongest I’ve ever tasted, still enjoyable."

"Amazing small restaurant on the main road. The lady that served us took care of us the best way possible. They have a big menu, but everything we ordered was perfect! Prices were very good as well. Despite being on the main street if you sit in the back, you arent that disturbed by the road."

"Family run restaurant. Good thai food and even better service. Came here with my gluten free card explaining about coeliac disease and what to avoid so I could eat safely and they adapted all dishes to my requirement. We came back multiple times during our stay in Koh Lanta."
