Why go, and how to do it well

Sabai Dee Soup, BBQ & Fish is a well-regarded dining option on the relaxed island of Koh Samet, offering a straightforward menu built around three crowd-pleasing staples, soup, grilled BBQ, and fresh fish. The name says it all, and the focused approach appears to resonate with both locals and visiting travelers alike.

Guests can expect a casual, unfussy atmosphere typical of island dining in this part of Thailand. The menu centers on hearty, flavorsome dishes that reflect regional Thai cooking, with the fish and BBQ options making natural choices for those wanting something fresh and satisfying after a day at the beach. The mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option without sacrificing quality, and the consistent draw of repeat visitors speaks to its reliability.

Located at 38 Tambon Phe on Koh Samet in Rayong province, the restaurant is open every day of the week from 10:00am to 10:00pm, making it a flexible choice for both lunch and dinner. Travelers heading to Koh Samet should note that the island is a short ferry ride from the mainland pier at Ban Phe, so planning meals around ferry schedules is worth considering. No booking information is available, so arriving slightly before peak dinner hours is a sensible approach during busier periods.

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.
