Overall a great restaurant and would visit again. We loved our main dishes (Cesar salad with chicken added and Thai curry with chicken). The garlic cheese toast was crunch and tasty. The staff was extremely friendly, service was fast, and the prices were reasonable. They spoke good English. Sadly, the mango sticky rice sucked when we visited. Can’t say it’s always like that, but the rice was not sweet nor salty and a little bitter. And the provided coconut cream sauce had no flavor nor sweetness. It was strange. Overall, we were happy with our visit and would recommend. Based on the deliciousness of our main dishes, I assume the mango sticky rice was a fluke. Our total price was 800 baht. They have a 3% added fee if you pay with visa.

Definitely a tourist place. Air conditioning inside but we sat outside even at lunchtime. The waitress did not understand my request for Sangsom (it wasn't on the menu) so went inside where staff behind the counter did understand. I ordered papaya and shrimp salad which was very good. Hubby ordered of the "quick eats" section so we surprised the mine came 10 minutes before his. Thai pork and rice was also good. Both were served spicy as requested. They charge 3% for use of a card. With one shot of Samsong, one diet coke and a large beer the bill came to 600 tb.

Thumb up to the male staff from Murmmar. He is kind and provide us great service! Fried lobster is yummy but it is slightly over fried. The seafood mama is a bit too salty and the prawn not very fresh. The pad Thai is the best. The atmosphere is great with music.

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.
