All the food was so delicious here! The fried snapper with tamarind sauce was very impressive and so tasty. The morning glory had great seasonings too. The chicken curry and red vegetable tofu curry were also really enjoyable. They also asked how much spice you’d like. They have western dishes too but the Thai ones were fantastic. The service was friendly but quite slow though. The prices were reasonable, I’ll make sure to come back here.

We ended up eating here twice during our short stay on the island. Service was great, lots of space, food and drinks are stupidly cheap but very tasty. The staff happily accommodated for dietary requirements. We were even given a little chocolate bar when we left!

Khao Kate is an unassuming but delicious restaurant. We visited for lunch and were able to get a table with no wait. I liked that the menu was available in Thai, English, and also Chinese and had many pictures of the food.
The restaurant does not have air conditioning as it is not an enclosed space, but there are many fans which create a nice draft.
I really enjoyed the deep fried mushrooms and the green curry fried rice (which is spicy but oh so delicious).

We have eaten here several times and each time the food has been very tasty, whether cocos-peanut chicken, pad thai or a curry. Large and good quality selection of food at a reasonable price and very friendly staff.

Came here yesterday for lunch and we are already back again! The food is so good. My friend said her pad Thai was the best pad Thai she has had on this whole trip! Stir fried noodle with chicken was delicious too. Excited to eat!

Visited in April 2023.
Best local (and Thai in general) food we have enjoyed during our 2 weeks travel across Thailand.
Not to mention a friendly staff that explained the meals an advised on what is best to order each day (yes, we visited them 4 times during our 5 days stay in Koh Samui)!
