Reviews from Google
As a USA Midwesterner who loves all types of food, but was ready for some upscale American cuisine, we were thoroughly impressed. The chef put any restaurant I've been to, to shame. We had large beers, appetisers, the German Pork Knuckle, Barracuda over white sauce, and wagyu steak. We had a miscommunication about how well done the steak should have been, but we visited on new years day and we don't speak Thai, unfortunately. Highly recommended!!
Good food. Real local Thai taste. Have live music. Fish is fresh. Reasonable price.
Nice restaurant and the food were good, not many guests. We came 8.00 pm and no body told us they were closing 9.00 pm. so everything was in a hurry. We went back to Saphan Kwai and found a perfect street food with good food. So never back to Eat Smith.

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.
