One Palm Food Garden
Located next to the Big C shopping centre in Tambon Hua Hin, this open-air food court draws a relaxed evening crowd with its combination of affordable local food, cold beer, and occasional live music. Known locally as Tal Diao Food Court, it operates as a multi-stall market-style venue rather than a single restaurant, giving diners the freedom to browse and mix dishes from different vendors.
The food selection covers the essentials without overwhelming variety — expect Thai staples like Pad Thai and satay alongside moo krata (Thai barbecue hotpot), grilled duck, and even German bratwurst for those in the mood for something different. Chang and Federbräu beer are the drinks of choice here. The atmosphere is informal and sociable, with a sizeable seating area suited to groups and families looking for a low-key evening out.

Reviews from Google
The food here is excellent value! Low-cost and high-quality. I only recently discovered this wonderful little food market, but I will be returning on a regular basis!
Quite big seating area. There are ok variation of food. I wouldn't say it's big selection here but there are everything you may want for a meal - Pad Thai, satay, moo krata, German sausage, fruit smoothies and cook as ordered Thai food stalls. I think the parking is on the roadside or park at the nearby Big C. I got kaprao mookrob (crispy pork kaprao on rice) for not sure, 50 or 60 baht. Happy with the taste and quantity.
Visited in mid-November, just as Hua Hin is entering the cool season. I stopped by Tal Diao Food Court, which is located right next to Big C. Parking at Big C and walking over is very convenient. The area around the food court is a small local community with plenty of shops. Inside, there are quite a number of food stalls, but not all are open—some units are still empty. The seating area is in the middle, with many tables available, though the number of customers was quite small during my visit. There is also a large stage, but overall the food selection is not very diverse. The variety felt quite average and nothing in particular really stood out or tempted me to try. If you plan to visit, I recommend sitting near the edges of the food court. The center area tends to feel quite hot and stuffy. Overall, it’s a convenient place to stop by if you’re already in the area, but the atmosphere and food options could be improved.

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.
