KoDam Kitchen Oceanview
Perched along the coast near Ao Nam Mao in Krabi, KoDam Kitchen Oceanview draws diners with a combination of fresh seafood, attentive service, and an open-air setting where the sound of waves provides a natural backdrop to every meal. The restaurant sits within easy reach of Ao Nang and operates every day of the week from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, making it a reliable option for both midday meals and relaxed evening dining. The menu leans heavily on seafood, with dishes such as grilled prawns and Tom Kha Seafood appearing frequently in visitor feedback alongside cold beers and Thai staples. The atmosphere is shaded and breezy, with unobstructed water views that shift beautifully as the afternoon light fades. Reviewers consistently highlight the warmth and attentiveness of the staff as a defining part of the experience, with the service described as standing out even against the broader standard of Thai hospitality. For the best combination of natural light and a quieter atmosphere, arriving for a late lunch or early in the dinner window tends to work well. The outdoor setting suits casual beachwear comfortably, though an indoor option with air-conditioning is available for those who prefer it. During peak tourist season in Krabi, particularly between November and March, calling ahead or arriving early is a sensible precaution, as the restaurant's reputation draws consistent crowds.

Late lunch. Tall Chang, Grilled prawns, Tom Kha Seafood and chicken wings (got to have em after superbowl win). Service fast efficient. Loved grilled prawns (there were 6) and Tom Kha Seafood. Wings are always wings and crispy w light coating (maybe cornstarch). Sweet slightly spicy dipping sauce. Tom Kha w lime leaves, lemongrass and Ganglia. On spot. Perfect for wife add a little spice for me. Right on the beach and would be great for sunset. Very reasonable for quality. Edit: Ok, came back same day. Geek I guess. But time is short and loved this place even more this evening. Double the Prawns (another plate not shown). Awesome w beer. Added papaya salad and best Pad Thai I’ve had in a long time. Great servers. Great food awesome atmosphere right on the beach, music in background. Just right. Many thanks to all the servers. We snagged Than for the pic but they all worked together and the kitchen kept up with what turns out to be popular evening diner location.
Two days ago, I had the chance to try a seafood restaurant with my friends near Ao Nam Mao. The atmosphere was peaceful and shady, with a beautiful sea view and the relaxing sound of waves. The ambiance was absolutely wonderful. We ordered fried sea bass with fish sauce, raw shrimp in spicy fish sauce, spicy mixed seafood salad, sour curry with fish, stir-fried squid with black ink sauce, and fried pork with garlic. Every dish was made with fresh, clean ingredients, and the flavors were bold and perfectly seasoned to our taste.😋 The staff provided excellent service. They were always smiling and kept checking to make sure everything was okay. It truly made the meal even more special and memorable. Overall, I was very impressed. The prices were reasonable for the quality offered. It’s perfect for seafood lovers, and if I have the chance, I will definitely come back again. ❤️
The food here is phenomenal but in addition to that the service here was the best service we’ve had in Thailand to date. Not that we’ve ever had bad service here but you will notice the difference, our server GoT was phenomenal, he would run to you when someone needed something, he would drop everything in his hands when you asked for him, he cleaned tables with a smile - someone truly passionate about their work and goes above and beyond, they hired the best server ever! Because of him we will likely be back the following day as we are only staying 2 nights here

Learn the Spice Scale
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.
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.
