Yin Yang

5 chad svastisalee - a month ago

Yin Yang is a great looking place with seating on the beach or balcony booths for a quiet romantic evening. The fresh seafood options are on ice in the front, an open kitchen and minimalist decor. Found oysters on the half shell so flavourful and at 90B and comparable in the village. The food menu is big, lots of favourites from Thai cuisine through sushi to western favourites. (steak and burgers). Two rounds of oysters and wine made the experience fantastic. Beachfront view, great and attentive service and fresh oysters... What's not to like from Yin Yang seafood?

Ordered a simple dish. Coco Tams took 15 minutes 3 days ago About 100m away.

Here is taking over 66 minutes, and the foreign owner shrugged me off when I politely asked where my food is.

Customer service seems to be very poor. The staff don't seem polite and couldn't speak Thai to my girlfriend. I believe them to be Burmese. This is a sector where they shouldn't cut corners for cheap labour, It shows!
I might be a foreigner, but I live in Thailand, and that's why it highlights this place as being super terrible.

1/2 capacity, no excuse not to be served, and not to be served in a timely manner.

Obviously went for oysters. But was not available.. OK?? But they were outside on display and they said they had.. Anyway,

Asked for a flank steak, Medium. And the photo, is what we got. A steak on a plate, rare / blue. Nice job. Not
The carbonara was tasteless to be honest. I did try to eat it. Bacon pieces tasted super salty

I did try to fix the issue personally by consulting with them, without a resolve. So here is your review.

Stay away guys.

I've never left a bad review as I'm against them TBH. I've never even posted about restaurants before, but this time I really believe it deserves a thumbs down.

It seems like some foreigners just trying to live the dream but left their skills elsewhere.

Just visited u0026 still eating in the restaurant but I had to do a review while here. I got the Burrata Pasta u0026 it was 9/10 (one of the best pastas I’ve ever had!) and my partner got the BBQ Squid u0026 the Fried Snapper and he says both were delicious and was 8/10. We also had a bottle of French Rose and we both loved it.

Service was also very good u0026 very attentive. We would highly recommend giving this place a go - I don’t even do reviews normally but felt the need.

Five stars for the fresh pasta. If you're feeling a pasta craving as I was when we were enticed in by the manager then you shouldn't be disappointed. There is a but however...

This is a fancy restaurant. One of the fanciest on the strip in BoPhut. When you enter any restaurant you expect a certain standard of service. Sadly Yin Yang appears to have forgotten the principals of a good restaurant - it isn't just the food, it is the engaging of customers.

I fancied pasta (we've gathered that!) and the menu is comprehensive but a little inconclusive as to what, if any variants may be available. For instance I really fancied the basil, tomato fusilli dish but with some chicken. The poor waiter didn't comprehend what I was asking, bit at no point said "let me go and ask". After some frustrating minutes I went for the spinach ravioli not really fancying that but it being the easiest thing to order as it was a special.

The family ordered their food - all staple fare and reasonable but not exceptional. While we were eating, the specials board was edited and lobster ravioli was now available. I understand that specials are made to be consumed, and there is a rationale of use one before proposing another but I am not a vegetarian and would have much preferred lobster!

Despite there being a bottle of San Pellegrino on the table we were offered no water. We had twenty minutes between empty main course plates and offer of dessert menu (and that was because I asked for a menu), and in the end I had to go and find an ATM as I didn't want to pay 3% surcharge for my debit card.

Other vendors have found a solution for the card charges. At a beach shack I expect to pay cash... Not at a fancy restaurant, and not after a sub-standard experience.

The really sad thing is that the owner/manager was in the kitchen cooking when we left so clearly cares about their establishment. I wasn't going to write this review, but they deserve to know that the balance needed to run a restaurant (the Yin and Yang as it were) needs a holistic approach to both kitchen and customers. Get out there and ask how people are enjoying their meals, empower the staff to ask you questions, find the balance.

Finally, the spinach ravioli was good. It just wouldn't have been my choice, given a choice.

I would avoid this place, nice view but worst food I had in Thailand, my husband had the chorizo cod and it arrived chewy and overcooked, barely edible and the worst part was the sad little salad that it arrived with, a few leaves undressed with grated carrot, just awful. I had clams with spaghetti and chilli apparently, it was hard to tell because I could not taste anything but sugar, it was an awful sweet sauce that ruined the clams. We were never asked once if everything was okay even when we clearly had left half eaten food on the plates. Feel obligated to share so you don't waste your time and money.

First, we sat on the corner tables and the leather couch/chair were all torn. Then, we went downstairs to the beach but the chairs were broken. Finally, we went upstairs again and sat at a normal table. The spoons were missing. After, we ordered Thai food, and the shrimps were undercooked. Sorry but too many things went wrong.

Descent service but food taste under whelming and bland. Wasn't worth the 2,000 THB price. Ordered 2 prawn sets and ribs.. for the prawn there are better seafood places especially for really juicy jumbo prawn..as for the ribs better off going to a BBQ place. I don't know it's the cook or the supplies they use here.

Don't mean to put this place down but seems like trying to do many things seafood, steak, pasta, Thai food, seems try to be more of huge portion size and quantity than quality. Wouldn't recommend here.
