“ This restaurant is located directly on the Long Beach of Koh Lanta with a beautiful view of the sunset. The service was friendly and the restaurant was actually well organized. I thought long and hard about whether to give it 4 or 5 stars, so here's a detailed rating: Service: 5 stars, I was pleasantly surprised that we were informed immediately on arrival that happy hour would be over in 1 minute, so we got two mojitos during happy hour. Taste Mohitos: 5 stars, taste food 5 stars, atmosphere 5 stars: organization kitchen 3 stars, we ordered for two, our dishes came with a time difference of 30 minutes. Restrooms: 1 star. In the end, I'm giving this place 5 stars overall because I can't give other restaurants a restroom rating either, but folks, there's some catching up to do here. Do it for yourselves and your guests. ”
“ Nicely located directly on the beach. The Happy Hour price for the cocktails is great but the cocktails were not so good. We had a dinner there twice. The staffs were very, very friendly . The first time the foods were quite good but as we were there the second time, they were , let’s say ok. Their signature dish fried Som Tam was not that good as expected for a signature dish. I ordered a steamed squid and it turned out to be a squid salad. ”
“ Located direct on the beautiful Long Beach, the restaurant is nice and cozy decorated, service is good. They are serving Thai food and others. Very good to see the sunset and to chill. I highly recommend the hot dishes from the last page of the menu. ”
“ Nice to be served in the beach. Come early enough and you can get a bean bag. Prices are about double than the usual, but there is a happy hour just for cocktails. ”
“ Nice restaurant right on the beach with a beautiful sunset view. The staff are super friendly and make you feel welcome. Prices are reasonable too. We ordered 3 dishes and a cocktail — veggie spring rolls were nice, Pad Thai tasted good, and the seafood glass noodle salad (Thai style) was a bit too sweet for me. Cocktails were just okay, but overall a great spot to chill and enjoy the view! ”
