KUNG Restaurant — Restaurant in Ko Lanta Yai

I would not give it more than 3 and thats being a little generous because the owner is a very nice guy!

I'm gonna dissect every dish because there were not all bad.

We started with papaya salad which tasted very fresh but had tons of raw garlic in it! Then came the big shrimp, that was extremely under cooked we had to send it back and when it came back it was burnt! *The fish was so fresh which is something i appreciate but he filled it with so much sauce it took away from the taste of the fish! *the small shrimps were cooked well, the sauce was too sweet for my liking but thats not their fault! I would recommend it if u like sweet sauces. *the tom yum was pretty good. We ordered mixed sea food tom yum. A little spicy but pretty tasty. *the crab was a big disappointment! We had crab cooked in green curry. Neither did the crab nor the green curry tasted as good as i expected it to! *and we had morning glory which is the green veggies it was extremely over cooked! That was a big disappointment!

I wouldn't go back again but if i did i would have the tom yum, and the small shrimps with a not too...

No joke, this was one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had! We each worked in NYC fine dining for years, I’m the son of a chef, so I mean it when I say this was absolutely exceptional. We got fried fish in tamarind sauce, stir fried kale with crispy pork, grilled crayfish in crispy garlic sauce, egg tofu soup with minced chicken and vegetables, and papaya salad. Everything was seriously incredible! Kung is also run by a lovely family, their adorable tiny children’s smiles and giggles as they spent time with their relatives and the other staff, who are all treated like family, made the atmosphere warm and fun! Everyone here seems happy! And it shows in the quality of the cooking. Wonderfully fresh seafood! Absolutely...

100% recommended. We have been eating there a lot during our stay in Koh Lanta and we can’t recommend it more. Mr. Kung is one of the best people I have ever met, he is really attentive and he has a huge heart. He made us feel like home everyday in his restaurant and made us smile!!! He also helped us with whatever problem we had!! The food is amazing and he adapts to every single person, for example I am allergic to nuts and he always made me feel secure there. In conclusion, you can’t leave Koh Lanta without eating here! Thank you for everything...
