Thi Baan Bistro

This is a truly fantastic Thai café where everything is thoughtfully executed. The tom yum soup is a masterpiece: vibrant, balanced, with a perfect blend of lemongrass, kaffir lime, and fresh prawns, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste. Overall, all the food here is top-notch — tender dishes with coconut milk, fresh salads, grilled items, and other Thai favorites, prepared from premium ingredients with soul. Service is outstanding: attentive, quick staff always with a smile. The owners are incredibly friendly, greeting you like old friends, sharing menu tips, and creating a cozy vibe. Stylish yet unpretentious interior with comfortable tables and pleasant lighting. Prime location — right next to Blueport shopping center in Hua Hin, easy to find, park, and pair with shopping for a delicious meal. Prices are reasonable, portions generous. In short, everything's great — come and enjoy!

You can tell the owner takes great pride in her business. It really shows. Service is great, menus are very professional and easy to understand, place is clean, food is excellent and it's very affordable. I highly recommend this place.

You cannot always trust the reviews. We came here after seeing a Youtube video touting the fried chicken and I will say it was very good. I cannot say that about my flavorless Som tam salad (no dried shrimp or peanuts) and squid salad, though the squid was very tender, there were only 4 pieces. My Thai partner was especially unhappy with her soup, something about it not being prepared with the correct ingredients (apologies can't recall the name). Perhaps they were having a bad day. Service was slow and our dishes came out at dribble. One guest, while we were there spoke up to the staff saying he'd been waiting an hour, after a moment he got up and left in obvious disappointment. Soon afterwards, with our food unfinished, we left too. We eat out nearly every day and know what good Thai food is, sadly, this is not it.
