We were looking for traditional Thai food in KhaoLak and upon a recomendation from one of the resort staff, we went here and we were not disappointed! We ate here several times during our stay and each time let the manager choose what we would eat. SERVICE? OK so the service can be a little on the slow side -... More

Unfortunately I didn't "discover" this restaurant until I only had a couple of months left in Khao Lak. The food is simply superb. My partner and I tried probably 30 different dishes and they were all delicious. Alex, the owner, gives awesome recommendations. He listens to your wishes, and then makes the perfect suggestions for the meal. Prices are higher... More

If fewer reviewers rated it excellent, an average rating could probably have been considered. The food is in fact no better than in some other places in Khao Lak i.e. pretty tasteless. The hot pot is fun as a stove and pot but thats it. Moreover, for Khao Lak this place is overpriced. More

Pretty tasteless? Normally the remarks go in the direction that our dishes are too extreme. (containing Pla Ra, fermented crab, 20+ different herbs, etc.) We offer 160+ dishes, you are sure you have tried our Isaan dishes? You are sure you have been in the right Restaurant? Our price is below the average in Khao Lak, check it out and... More

We became aware of the Bolle brothers thru their newspaper, The Khoa Lak Echo, and decided to drive down from Ban Bang Muang to try the restuarant. We couldn't be happier. Alex is a marvelous host, his staff attentive and f\friendly and the food, well just try the Issan Hot Pot! We've been back several times even thought it is... More

This restaurant is on the main road in Bang Niang, It focuses on Isaan food, although has other Thai dishes. This was the best Isaan restaurant we have been to in Thailand for both service and knowledge of the dishes through to taste and quality. There was very helpful advice regarding which dishes to try, hotness etc. We had a... More
