Why go, and how to do it well
Getting here is the hard part, and getting back is harder. Drivers cancel on Grab, others quote high, and one couple ended up paying 700 baht for a driver to bring them and wait. If you can't sort that in advance, the staff have been known to find a local to run people back for a fair price. Everything after that is easy.
The pull is the hillside view over the Krabi landscape, and the food doesn't ride on it. Prices stay low. Prawn fritters and pineapple rice come up again and again, fried rice and iced coffee too, and portions are generous rather than fussy. This is a neighborhood-feeling place with a view attached, not a view with a restaurant bolted on.
The catch is seating. The front row is small, so at busy hours you'll be squeezed behind people with better sightlines. Morning solves both problems at once, with cooler air, thinner crowds, first pick of the tables.

Reviews from Google
This is a must visit while in Krabi. The view from Kuan Nom Saow Restaurant is incredible, and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The food is not over priced because of the view, it is very reasonable for the type of setting. We had a few drivers cancel on us or ask for a higher price when trying to book the ride on Grab. We finally ended up finding a driver on InDrive and asked him to take us there and wait there to bring us back for 700 baht. I would recommend arranging the round trip with your driver because a lot of drivers do not want to make a special trip out there because of the dirt road and steep incline leading up to the restaurant. Some cars may not be able to make it all the way to the top so you may have to walk up some of the way. The drive up is steep, but once you arrive, it is completely worth it. A great place to slow down, enjoy the natural beauty, and have a truly unique experience in Krabi.
It was an amazing experience visiting this lovely hidden restaurant! The views are spectacular. We’ve had the prawn fritters and pineapple rice. Both were absolutely delicious. The service 5* everyone very happy and friendly. We struggled getting a taxi back to our hotel since the place is in the middle of nowhere but the staff organised someone local to take us for a very reasonable charge. This is a must if you like nature and the simple pleasures.
Great place with cheap prices and tasty food. The menu offers delicious dishes and good value for money. The only downside is that there aren't many seats in the front row, so it can feel a bit crowded during busy times. Overall, a lovely spot and definitely worth a visit!

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.
