Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away on the island of Koh Tao, Fill U Up has earned a strong reputation among both travelers and locals as a reliable, welcoming dining destination. Open seven days a week from 8am to 10pm, it caters to a wide range of meal times, making it a convenient option whether visitors are looking for a leisurely breakfast after a morning dive or a relaxed dinner to wind down the evening.

The restaurant sits in the mid-range price bracket, offering good value without compromising on quality. Its consistent track record with diners points to a place that takes its food seriously, with an atmosphere that feels approachable and unhurried — fitting for the laid-back pace that Koh Tao is known for. The extended daily hours make it one of the more flexible dining options on the island, particularly useful for those with varied schedules tied to dive trips or island excursions.

Visitors can check the current menu and plan their visit in advance through the restaurant's website at filluupkohtao.com. Given the island's popularity with divers and backpackers, arriving a little earlier during peak meal times is advisable to secure a table, especially during the high season between December and April.

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.
