So far I have reviewed two places including this one for poor reason too unfortunately. The environment was nice when we walked in and the waitresses were very nice. When we sat down and ordered the food looked, not like photograph artwork, but good looking and tasty looking stuff. We ordered drinks, I got a banana milkshake which was decent, given the fact you cannot really mess it up. The starters came, we got garlic bread (which was garlic bread so pretty solid) spring rolls (which didn’t taste like spring rolls in the slightest) and satay chicken which I will go on a tangent about as Thailand, among other south eastern Asian countries is a praised country for satay chicken which typically has a grilled yellow look with black charring to add to flavour, served with a peanut sause. What we got was a grainy peanut sause served with BOILED CHICKEN dripping with yellow residue. Excuse me, but what south east Asian person would BOIL chicken and have the privilege to say it’s “Satay” absolute disgrace, and complete false advertising. Onto our mains it was even more miserable, we got chicken stir fry with basil, one of my personal favourites which lacked the taste of garlic, Chili and basil which it should possess and just tasted of spice, devoid of flavour. There was a chicken cashew stir fry, I am unaware of the name, but it’s suppose to have strong hints of oyster sause and soy sause, when I tried it, I felt like I dipped a chicken tender into KFC gravy, a far cry from the Thai cuisine I was promised. There was a sun dried pork dish which was alright and ok seasoned, and a bowl of rice which was unfortunately the highlight of the meal as it was the best tasting thing there. We asked the waitress for the cook and she refused to take any criticism of her food but rather said “other people liked it” and overall was incredibly rude, we asked for a refund as the food was beyond the definition of the word disgraceful and they said “you get what you pay for”. I’m sorry but I was promised “Thai” cuisine, not that of a regurgitating sewer rat and what we were given was an overall disrespect to the whole of Thailand and the sas that the cook said that “she was Thai” means as much as nothing, if I can get a monkey who is from France and tell him to cook, it doesn’t mean he can cook French food. Overall the food was miserable, the place was miserable and the staff were abhorrent. If you can’t take criticism, don’t make food that fecal matter can compete with. Don’t go, you will become depressed the nanosecond your spoon, fork or chopstick, with that slop that they consider food, enters your mouth.

For a good Thai meal. Highly recommended. Service is friendly and you can have both spicy and less spicy food. Enjoy your meal! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person ฿100–200 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Came to this restaurant due to extensive wait at restaurant next door and saw this place 3/4 full and thought it must also be good. Only when our “Thai milk tea” arrived did we check the reviews and instantly regretted sitting down but it was already too late. Staff and service were pleasant but due to quality of food would strongly recommend exploring the rest of the street and finding somewhere better. Pictures on the menu do not remotely match what we were served here. ‘Satay chicken’ was boiled unseasoned chicken on a stick covered in oil, ‘fried chicken with salt and garlic’ was boiled chicken in soy sauce. Honestly worst Thai food I have ever had. Me and my partner are music lovers ourselves and not ones to complain about noise but my GOD was there the worst music - a weird not quite country genre - blasting the entire night that completely killed what was left of the atmosphere… Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person ฿200–300 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
What a waste of a meal. by far the worst Thai food I have ever had. Played it straight ordered Salt baked fish any street vendor can do, and for twice the price got pan fried fish with a bit of salt on the skin, and no traditional sides, like sauces and salad, basil leaves etc. Place next door was pumping but we were told 45min wait minimum, so decided to go next door...reason why they were not busy is so painfully obvious. Dont go there. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person ฿600–700 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

Very friendly staff and a nice place. Sadly the food barely resembles Thai. Bland was the best description. If you enjoy bland Thai-like food at good prices this could be your place. There is a bar and pool table which looked nice.
Very nice and happy service, happy and kind staff. We have not eaten here yet, only stayed for drinks. We looked through the meny and looks good price wise. Come here and have a look 👌 Meal type Other Price per person ฿1–100 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
I give one star not for the food. Never rent motorcycles here. The price per day increases on the day the vehicle is returned. The police won't help you. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
You must visit this place if you’re visiting Chaweng area! There is so much choice of food, catering for both Asia and Western food. I highly recommend the pad Thai and sticky mango rice. Plus Thai express cater to dietary requirements :) Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Homemade Spring Roll

Probably the worst Thai food you can get on the Island. Everything was bad. Thai tea tastes like powder, crispy pork is just 4 thin slices of lard covered in grease. Food: 1
