I'm not saying that it was bad... The food was good, had taste and the fruit juices were pretty nice too. The problem was that the expectations were too high after reading all the reviews here. Bottom line, it's a good place to go to, but not a piece of heaven in my opinion.

Had dinner and lunch here during our stay and really enjoyed it. Small, basic place and it was never busy. Had the mussaman curry which was great. Service was excellent and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Love the papaya salad, the tung yum soup, green curry dishes, the watermelon shake is my favorite drink. We stayed at the park for three days and we ate there everyday. I don't understand why there are negative comments on this restaurant, it's the only restaurant that is full every night!

I will make this a short one, the thai curries were all good, not excellent but good. I tried the jungle seafood platter, also good. However, I had one noodle dish that certainly contained glutamate, I could also smell it from the kitchen... This is just a no-go... Service is basically non-existing.

One of the best restaurant i could enjoy in Thailand. Food was cooked fresh and tasted great and service was very kind although a bit slow. Anyway it would be my first choice if i would visit Khao Sok National Park again. They should think about opening a cooking school

There are a number of restaurants close together but we chose to eat at Pawns each night as the food was excellent and very good value for money. Make sure you get there early though, as it gets very busy- unlike most of the other restaurants.
