Kodam Kitchen branch 1

This restaurant fully deserves its spot on every "Top Restaurants in Ao Nang" list. Located very close to the main Ao Nang Market, it's easy to spot and offers convenient parking (space for 4-5 cars, plus ample street parking typical of Thailand). The cuisine here is nothing short of fantastic and truly unforgettable. We tried several dishes, and all were superb, but the highlight is undoubtedly their curry. It possesses a deep, complex flavor profile—it’s very reminiscent of the best South Indian and Sri Lankan tastes, yet distinctly unique and absolutely hits the spot. The menu is extensive, offering plenty of excellent options to choose from. My only minor nitpick (and I mean minor, as I’ve had one of the best ever in Koh Samui) was the Mango Sticky Rice, but this is honestly a small detail compared to the excellence of everything else. The staff is prompt, incredibly helpful, and understands basic English well, making ordering a breeze. They genuinely assist you through the menu, ensuring a great experience. We enjoyed sitting on the bench outside near the entrance, taking in the atmosphere. The prices are perfectly commensurate with the quality of the food and the overall experience you receive. It's a fantastic culinary investment for anyone visiting Ao Nang. If you love curry, this is a non-negotiable stop!

Visited Kodam Kitchen in Krabi and absolutely loved it. One of the best places for seafood in the area. fresh, well cooked, and full of flavor. Their Pad Thai was excellent, perfectly balanced and authentic. We also tried their authentic Thai drinks, which were very refreshing and unique. The place is very busy, but the service was still friendly and efficient. A must visit spot in Krabi if you want real local taste and great seafood. Highly recommended!

Great value price ratio and delicious traditional Thai food. If you don't want to wait hours, better reserve. The second brach at the beach some km's away is much more peaceful and super beautiful. A shuttle service is available.
