esan food & cooking

Absolutely must go restaurant. Food is tasty and you will experience a great Thai atmosphere there.

By far the best original Thai food we have eaten on our trip so far. And it's a pleasure to see the two Thais at work. Unreserved recommendation. You should only bring a little time with you, but that's not a problem given the entertainment value of the place.

Tasty food. All 5 of us were very happy with our meals, which says a lot, it's not often you have 5 empty plates and happy bellies.

Typical Isan food place. You can try typical dishes from southwest Thailand. The owners are very endearing grandparents.

The wait is not worth looking elsewhere, unless it is to give me a place.very very good cuisine

Wasn’t the best Thai food I have ever had, but not to say it’s bad. Though it has to be said, it’s probably very authentic Isaan cuisine because I see a lot of bar girls in RCA ordering and someone told me a lot of them are from Isaan.

Other wise, the couple working here were really hospitable and friendly. It has a very familiar feel to this restaurant that immediately makes you feel at home, at a grandparent’s or something similar.

Not recommended! Bad experience, I was treated with disdain because I didn't understand why the prices were double than normal, without any justification. This is an indecent Thai restaurant. Good luck to everyone who enters this place. (the smell and cleanliness is not good). In these situations I wonder why Google doesn't give an option for half a star.

Amazing, freshly made food. There's one person cooking each dish, so you may wait a bit, but it will be worth it. Prices are good.

The food is very tasty. There only one cook and she working very hard. If you have time to chill a very good spot

The ibu was so energetic, drinking beer while cooking and dancing. The food was great, just.no fan, sweat a lot

You can find better food with better price elsewhere. Service was very slow, food was too oily and salty.

I really like their food. I ordered Grill Fish, Fried Pork and Fried Vegetable. All are really nice. They are friendly. English menu provided.

The grilled prawns and pad thai were really fresh and delicious. Very authentic cooking and reasonably priced. A must try!

Lovely sweet people running it with yummy food. Food was better when quiet but that’s ok. BBQ was great!

I see a lot of good reviews of this place, but living in Thai, this place lulls you in with the thoughts u are helping out a poor Thai family, to be hit with some of the highest prices around.
We are still waiting for our food 1 hour after arriving, one of our party has left in disgust, and now after an hour and 20 mins, they say no Moo Gob.
The owner seems insensitive to the situation, and is just happy the delay is forcing us to drink more Chang priced at 150 bht a bottle That's the same as the 5 star hotels charge.
But wait, the buckets of ice are also being charged for.something you don't expect in a local restaurant.
The Laab moo I had was good, while the BBQ pork was full of gristle, and just not worth the 200 baht charged.
A lot of you will eat here and go home with stories of eating a real local Thai restaurant.this is an overpriced poor quality version of the real thing. We paid our bill and left, with the owner oblivious to the poor experience he put us through.
Give your tourist dollars to a more deserving enterpruse, they are not hard to find.

Great food.good prices.very popular husband and wife team all food cooked to order you may have to wait a bit
Yes I would go again been back already

Always a long wait time and they may not serve food at all depending on their mood.

Should avoid

Best place for barbecue in Ao Nang! All the food is very good, fresh and cooked in an open kitchen. Only two people work here, one on table service and one cooking in the kitchen, for this reason your order may take some time to come but the wait pays off:) I've tried the mango salad, pork BBQ, crab BBQ and shrimps BBQ with some chang beer and it was amazing. The environment is really good from 21: 30 when the bar next door starts playing live music. I highly recommend it!

What an amazing location. It looks simple, however the taste is overwhelming. We‘ve been there three times already and every dish was extremely tasty. She is happily cooking. He is funny while serving the meals. Great choice!

เข้าไปตอนแรกดูคนยังไม่เยอะ คิวไม่น่าจะนาน แต่พอรอไปเกือบ ครึ่งชม. คนเริ่มเยอะ แต่อาหารยังไม่ออกสักอย่าง พอถามพี่ผู้ชายว่าคิวอีกเยอะไหม ก้อตอบแบบกวนๆว่า ต้องรอ หรือจะยกเลิก เราก้อแค่จะถามเพื่อจะรูว่าอีกกี่คิวเห็นนานแล้ว แทนที่จะตอบกันดีๆ แต่ตอบเชิงไล่ แบบนี้ผมก้อเลยไม่ขอรอ ใครไม่อยากเจอเจ้าของร้านนิสัยเสียแบบนี้ แนะนำหาอย่าเข้าไปกินให้เสียอารมเลย เงินเรา จ่ายให้ร้านที่เค้าต้อนรับเราดีกว่า แย่มากครับ

For all foriegner, if you wait for your food for long time, dont ask the owner how long your queue, because he will tell you must wait or go out. He not treat customer well
