Meals are really nice here. Sometimes service a little slow, but worth the wait. Have tried to call to order take away but the phone is never answered. Have to go in and order. When it is a busy time of the year, I have to drive someone with me to go in and order because you cannot get a park close.

Very tasty dishes. Good value. Right next to the beach. Plus your tips support a school in Thailand. Massaman curry is good, so is Pad Thai.

This place is a smallish joint which serves some really nice Thai full of flavor. The dishes were brimming with quality ingredients. The serving time was reasonable. The prices are on the higher side than your regular Thai take aways, but it's worth it. Also the dishes marked with three chillies, ARE spicy.
As about the service being rude, I'm not sure about that. I guess it's probably just the communication skills than anything else. The intentions are good. We found them extremely friendly by the end of our dinner.
Overall it's a must visit if you are on the island.

I ordered take away and asked for lots of chilli. I was informed that I would not be able to handle lots of chilli? As I eat chilli raw, I explained I can take it hot!

Once I picked up the order (after I waited for 5 minutes standing at the counter with no service?), the owner gave me the the food and snapped "You no complain about all the chilli." Very artless I must say. Wont be going back.

No need to be rude in this life.

Went here for a nice relaxing dinner with the girls, but the meal was rather disturbed when the host's baby started climbing around us and hitting us with rocks from the nearby pot. No apology or even notice was taken of this. Got the impression of a rude host. Service was extremely poor and slow and overpriced. To be honest, couldn't wait to get out of there! So unprofessional...
