This restaurant is located on the roadside, easy to spot and with spacious parking. The taste of the food would probably depend on personal preference. First, the staff taking orders seemed to lack basic knowledge of what they were actually doing. When I asked what kind of fish the restaurant uses for this particular menu item, they couldn’t answer with any confidence. They also clearly showed an attitude of being too lazy to explain things to customers when asked questions. But never mind — at that point I tried to overlook this. Second, I ordered a Thai milk tea, and the taste that came out really wasn’t it. It was like plain water. The person responsible for making drinks seemed to assume they could just make whatever they wanted and serve it to customers. Third, the food I ordered was quite greasy and dripping with oil. This is a personal experience that actually happened, with no bias whatsoever beyond the facts I have already stated. And the issue of cigarette smoke should be taken much more seriously, because this is a restaurant. They should put up clear signs indicating where people should go to smoke, somewhere far away from other customers. And the staff themselves should set a good example as well, not sneak off to smoke right next to the underside of the wooden building where there’s a dining table at the corner. This is hardly any different. Basic social etiquette is something human beings ought to know.

Although this restaurant is crowded every time I go, I never have to wait for service. Attentive staff is overseen by the family patriarch who also greets and thanks customers. In fact, they will all show gratitude as you come and go. Just a very friendly, warm atmosphere. The seafood is fresh and well-prepared. I had the clear Tom Yum seafood which was delicious. The papaya salad is always fresh. Same for the minced pork and basil. They also give you free fried banana pastries. It’s just a really happy place. I was thanked by the entire family as I left- from Momma with her baby to grandma resting at a table on the side. This is Thailand at its best!

Some dishes were more extravagant, others more budget-friendly. We went for the classics - garlic chicken, pad thai, and morning glory - and they were all super delicious. Our first visit was a blind choice, but after that we came every single afternoon. After 7pm, you can get fresh grilled fish. If we come to Koh Kood again, we’ll definitely be back! ♥️

This is not a hidden gem. It’s a well known spot. It’s the best restaurant on Koh Kood. Delicious pad thai (90 baht), the best stir fried chicken with cashew nuts and rice (235 baht). Friendly staff! Not all staff speak English, but they are all nice and helpful! We even got some baked banana for free! They are open from 12:00 - 22:00 So go for a lunch or dinner! You won’t regret it.
