Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked along a street in Bo Put on Koh Samui, this small street-side stall has earned a loyal following among travelers seeking something genuine amid the island's more tourist-oriented food scene. The owner is widely praised by visitors for his warmth, cheerfulness, and ability to remember returning customers — a personal touch that sets this spot apart from neighboring vendors. He is noted to speak multiple languages, including Hindi, making it a welcoming stop for international visitors.

The stall specializes in Thai-style pancakes and rotis, with the banana Nutella variety drawing particular praise. Eggless options are available, making it accessible for vegetarians and those with dietary preferences. The food is consistently described as freshly made and satisfying, drawing repeat visits from guests staying nearby.

The stall opens in the early evening and operates until the early hours of the morning, with hours running 6:00 PM to 3:00 AM every day of the week. This makes it well-suited as a late-night snack stop after dinner or a night out. No website or advance booking is available, so simply turn up during operating hours. Given the street setting and informal nature of the stall, expect a casual, stand-and-eat experience rather than a sit-down meal.

Reviews from Google

The owner, Ma ma aer yo, is a such a humble and friendly face in a street full of inauthentic tourism. Remembered my order from the day before and his roti's are amazing!! After having eaten several ones at breakfasts and the night markets, this is the one I came back to all the remaining days. Seems to love what he does and serves the perfect square thin pancakes 🙏

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.
