KoDam Kitchen Oceanview
The service is what people remember here, and that's saying something in a country where good service is normal. Reviewers name their server, describe him running across the room, and talk about him like they'd adopt him. That warmth, plus an open-air deck right over the water at Ao Nam Mao, does most of the work before the food even lands.
Then the food lands. Grilled prawns and Tom Kha seafood come up again and again, the latter properly built with lime leaves, lemongrass and galangal. Diners ordering Thai-style report fried sea bass with fish sauce, sour curry with fish, stir-fried squid in black ink and spicy seafood salad, all in portions sized to share across a table. Chicken wings and cold Chang for anyone who wants something simpler. Prices get called reasonable for the quality, which is not a given on a seafront terrace. There's air-conditioned seating indoors if the breeze isn't enough.
A late lunch is the quiet slot, with good light over the water. Sunset is the one everyone wants.

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.
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
An absolutely beautiful place peaceful, comfortable and with a breathtaking view. The staff is incredibly friendly and always smiling, which makes the atmosphere even better. The food is simply amazing truly high quality. I highly recommend this place.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
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.
