Why go, and how to do it well

Set alongside a lotus flower lake in the Ao Nang area of Krabi, this tucked-away restaurant offers a noticeably more serene and scenic setting than the busier beachfront dining strips nearby. The peaceful lakeside atmosphere is a genuine draw, and the restaurant tends to attract visitors who discover it through word of mouth or independent searching rather than passing foot traffic.

The menu leans into authentically spiced southern Thai cooking, with standout dishes including Tom Kha, duck with omelet, curries, and pad Thai. Prices are generally lower than beachfront competitors, making it a practical choice for travelers watching their budget without wanting to compromise on flavor. Seafood is also on offer, though some visitors have noted inconsistency in freshness, so cooked meat and curry dishes may be the safer bet.

Reviews from Google

We found this tucked away restaurant through a Google search and were thrilled with it. The prices are a bit lower than the beachfront spots, and the food is authentically southern Thai deliciously spicy. We also enjoyed a lovely seating area by a stream with large fish, but be prepared for some mosquitoes as evening sets in. We even made a new friend who kept us company the whole time we were there!

Cool interior and some of the food was outstanding, such as the duck dish with omelette, curries, and pad Thai. Some of the seafood didn’t seem entirely fresh though. Bit of slow service but other than that, nice place for sure.

Pathetic experience. The service is not even mediocre, it's just awful. Nobody speaks English, they only have 3 food and 2 drink menus for a whole restaurant with dozens of tables(it was empty). There is a construction site to the left and to the right of the restaurant constantly making awful loud noise. I asked the waiters to do something, but they just laughed in front of me. A few minutes later workers came right in front of my table and started drilling the floor. I mean, how much can you disrespect your clients to do that right in front of my table while I'm trying to relax and enjoy the dinner? Plus, we asked to bring the ice cream which they forgot about and didn't serve, yet included in the bill. This is the worst service I have ever encountered in Thailand and I've visited almost every province and island here. It's just horrible, like the worst of the worst really. The portion size is small and the taste is bland. After sitting there for an hour under constant construction noise I came out hungry, upset and my head was hurting. Miserable place.

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.
