Reviews from Google
Very good Thai food in easy walking distance of Hua hin night market and of much higher standard then any restaurants that are in the night market and surrounding area. There is also plenty of free parking at the side. We visited Tarachan on 2 different occasions recently. Both times we were given the option of covered outdoor or indoor air conditiond seating. Staff nice and friendly, Food served quickly and it not only looked good and presented nice. It tasted great. You can tell only quality ingredients are used and that skilled chefs are working on the kitchen. Portions are also of a good size. We had several dishes amongst them deep fried sea bass, Pork leg, beef massaman all were outstanding. I would say it is some of the best food in Hua hin. Its certainly is the best in that price range. I will definatley visit again.
good food. Original Thai taste. Fried Squid with fried galic was so great. Tom Yum was also good fresh ingredient. Grilled sea shrimp was so fresh. You can feel the freshness in your mouth. Wonderful. It may take some times if on weekend. But it's worth to wait. The price is also reasonable.
Wanted to try somewhere we had not been before and Tarachan reviewed well so went for dinner. Plenty of seating was available, we sat outside and it was comfortable with staff placing fans for us. Service was good, orders taken promptly and food arrived quickly. Was very good service. Food was tasty and good levels of spicy. I thought the mussels were a little undercooked but sauce was delicious. Other dishes were tasty too. Prices were good. Worth checking out and in a good central l9xation. location.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
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.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
