Reviews from Google
This is probably one of the very best restaurants I have had the luck of finding throughout Thailand. I know that sounds exaggerated, but we are staying in La Casita condo next door and have rated here at least 3 times a week. Food is amazing. We have tried many many dishes and each one is flavourful and great portions too. Most dishes, soups and noodle dishes are very cheap price too. Staff is really friendly and always stop to chat. All in all an absolutely excellent restaurant. I love it!
We’ve eaten here several times now and all of the dishes we’ve had have been good. Great prices and fast service. Our favorite is the green chicken curry. You can sit outside or inside and they always have a game on the big screen.
I visited Hua Hin Kitchen on my first day in town. I tried the raw shrimp, and although the sauce was a bit too herbal for my taste, the shrimp itself was very fresh and tasty. The chicken satay was alright — the chicken needed more seasoning and the sauce could have been richer and nuttier — but overall, it was still good. The portions were big, and the food was served very quickly. The restaurant wasn’t too loud or crowded, so I could relax while eating. I do wish water was free, and when I asked for water, they brought me a bottle instead. They didn’t give me a printed receipt; they only showed the total on their phone. I think the amount was correct, but I would feel more comfortable if they provided an actual receipt. Overall, it was a good first meal in Hua Hin, with fresh seafood, generous portions, and fast service.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
