Indeed very long wait, come early at 8ish so you can expect to have your food served at around 10.30.

Food is tasty, big portion. I love the crab meat omelette, mouthful of crab meat every bite under the crispy Omelette layer.

Tom yum is lovely too, but very spicy though we ordered for mild. But it's still taste good.

Sitting inside waiting for our food is quite enjoyable too with the nice smell of food cooking with charcoal.

Overall, it's very pricey. Does it worth the price and time for what you're getting? Maybe not, but you should probably come once to figure it out.

We waited for 3hrs after arriving at 9:30am, and finally eat our food at 12:30. I suggest to arrive before the shop opens, maybe around 8-8:30am. The omelette is not too flavorsome, just full of crab.
The fried fried rice noodle is shockingly good, the texture of the noodle itself is super stretchy, I’ve never had it anywhere else. Flavor is rich. I’d suggest to order 1 for each person, as the serve was not big, and it’s too yummy to share!
We also ordered curry crab. Again, lots of crab but flavor is mild. You can give it a miss if you’ve ordered omelette.
I regret we didn’t order Tom yum
I literally stood outside the kitchen in the smoke and heat, and watched the lady Jay Fai cooking a storm for 2.5hrs. It’s very enjoyable, and it’s almost like a art performance

The food definitely tastes good. Worth it?? Not really.
Every dish looks just like what you would see in other reviews and videos, with jumbo sized seafood. However at this price point, there are many places in Thailand that can match the taste or offer better value.
It’s impressive that Jay Fai still cooks every dish herself. It’s a cool gimmick if you don’t mind the wait, but I wouldn’t put this place in a must visit list if you’re not local.

I think the best dish is noodles dish and worth visiting this kitchen. It's delicious, unique cooking with great aromatic taste. I love the char that comes with the noodles and the crunchy squids. The coconut shoots is delicious too. The way she cooks it, the result is very unique, sweet and crunchy. Other dishes, overall it's good. It''s quite expensive. Although understanding that every ingredient is high quality. The booking via email doesn't work, nobody reply. We decided to come early. We got to the place around 8:45 a.m. and we were at the 5th table, luckily we got the table. We got our food first dish at 10:30 a.m. It took about 1.30 hrs to get the food since ordered.

Jay Fai is an institute, she still cooks every dishes by herself. Food is absolutely delicious and worth the hype but a little on the overpriced side.
Regarding the service: If you’re nice to them, they will be nice to you ????
We made it in for the second attempt - at mid afternoon after a rain storm with a half an hour waiting time.
We had the crab omelette which is huge and it is an immense amount of crab in it - worth every baht. And we also ate the drunken noodles which is not that big portion but top notch seafood and texture is great.

Took me four tries to finally reserved a table. Was excited to go. I underestimated how big these portions were since everything in Thailand is relatively small. Couldn’t finish all the food. Love the Tom yum soup. Had it extra spicy. Still burning my mouth but delicious. 5260 baht total for three of us. Worth the money

cons: it involves a long wait. pros: it was well worth it! the crab omelette is out of this world - crispy egg roll with huge and delicious chunks of crab meat within. if you don't have a reservation, try arriving 30 mins before opening time and bring a book or fully charged device to keep you entertained as you wait. good things come to those who wait!
