Reviews from Google
We were in Kanchanaburi for 3 nights and ate here every night. The food was superb and the service charming. We forgot to take photos for 2 of the meals but the one pictured was coconut chicken soup, fish in lime chilli and garlic and eggplant salad, all of which were superb. I highly recommend this restaurant, the high ratings are not an exaggeration.
Clean, airy, great food and great service. Not overpriced and you can feel at ease to bring your kids here. Very good overall.
The restaurant offers both outdoor and indoor seating, though the ambiance is quite basic. Due to higher rating, we decided to give it a try. The seafood curry with squid and prawn was enjoyable, but it didn’t quite live up to our expectations. The taste was mild. On the other hand, the stir-fried green peas with prawns were a highlight. The green peas were fresh and crunchy, and the prawns were cooked to perfection. The flavors were well-balanced. The tom yum soup was creamy and delicious, with fresh prawns. Some diners may prefer a non-creamy soup, but this one was quite good. Overall, the restaurant is a nice place, possibly popular among tourists. It serves decent Thai food, but there are better options available. It’s a good place to grab a quick and satisfying meal.

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.
