Khrua Khun Yai (Thai Food)

In general, if you see an empty restaurant, it’s a warning sign. However, it wasn’t the case here. (It’s probably the low season.)

Lovely family operated eatery located just oppose the entrance of Sheraton Samui. Dishes are of Thai street food style. The mama cooks the yummy dishes. IMO the Thai food in this place is far far better than Mama down the road.

We wanted to go back on Friday, they were closed. Then went back again on Saturday and ordered different dishes. They were cooked as how it should be...Local Thai flavours.

This place is located right across Sheraton Samui, one of the best for value Local meals that we had in Koh Samui!

We ordered the Tomyum gung, Pineapple fried rice, vegetables kai lan with pork and basil minced pork rice. A lady cooked our meal, it tasted so much like home cooked meal and we loved every dishes!

The Thai Milk Tea was a lil too sweet but that's alright, our meal was awesome. All for 550 baht only! Will definitely be back if we are back in Koh Samui :)

Please don't miss this hidden gem in samui and please don't be fooled by the beautifully lit restaurant right beside it. Such a burst of flavours that kept us happy all day. We tried the prawn panang curry and it was top notch. All the other dishes was also up to par. Must try!

We have tried all the restaurants around Chaweng noi while staying at Vana belle. This restaurant was the best in the area with good price among all!!! We cannot stop coming back to this place.

Best Pad Thai I had on the island.

You might drive past this gem a few times before you actually decide to pop in because it’s on a main road and very easily missed because it’s tiny. It looks to be run by a husband and wife? Such sweet and friendly people, all home cooked meals, ridiculously cheap but that doesn’t reflect the quality of the dishes! Just simply delicious Thai food. Don’t miss it!

A fantastic find!

Authentic little Thai food restaurant with fresh, great-tasting dishes. The restaurant is very small (can only accommodate about 12 people max) and only has 1 chef, so expect the service to be slow (but polite).

This was the first restaurant I went to in Koh Samui, and it set the bar high for all others.

Try the curries :)

Like others have mentioned, this is some of the best authentic Thai food on the island. So many forgotten flavours from my childhood, the food is exactly as my Thai mother used to make. We ordered 6 different dishes and and every one of them was excellent.
