ร้าน ส้ม..ตำมัยเตงThai Esarn Restaurant — Restaurant in Ko Lanta Yai

We were staying nearby, and this place looked interesting when passing by. It's one of the best meals we've had in our 2 weeks in Thailand! The bbq chicken is outstanding; perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned (not spicy, though). The green curry was also tasty and had a perfect level of mild spice. You can eat it like a soup or over rice and both are great. The pad see-ew (wide noodles in dark sauce) was amazing, and again, amongst the best we've had in Thailand so far. We just barely finished it all, but wished we had room for more dishes. The owners were super friendly and all food was served with a gracious smile. The place is very clean and the kitchen is right up front, so it's easy to see your food prepped and cooked in front of you. We were only here for one night or we would have gone back tomorrow.

Really disappointed. The first thing we asked as we walked in was if they could do plain chicken and fries for our daughter and was told yes. We ordered our meals, a chicken pad Thai and a stir fried veg with chicken and rice, and the plain chicken with fries, all for takeaway and was told no problem. We had a drink while waiting and 2 dishes arrived. We waited a while for the rest of our order to come and it didn't. When I asked about the plain chicken and fries we were told that they don't do it and would have to order it from their sister's place next door. We asked for the bill and were over charged (according to the menu prices) by over 100thb. When we eventually got home having ordered our daughter's food next door, the stir fry veg and chicken had no chicken or flavour and the pad Thai was below par compared to...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely wonderful!

We had such an amazing experience at this place! The food was incredibly delicious every single time we visited, full of flavor, fresh, and made with real love. The owner is truly one of the kindest and most genuine people you could ever meet. She made us feel so welcome from the very first visit, and it was heartwarming to see her lovely children helping out with such enthusiasm and smiles.

During our two-week holiday, our group came back several times because we simply couldn’t get enough, both of the food and the warm atmosphere. It felt more like visiting friends than going to a restaurant.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for great food and even greater hospitality. This place really has a...
