Lanta sky food and drinks — Restaurant in Ko Lanta Yai

Absolutely remarkable dinner. Me and my parents were absolutely exhausted after walking almost the whole length of long beach and were looking for a place to sit down and enjoy a lovely dinner.

After browsing on google and looking for highly rated restaurants, I stumbled across this place and was impressed by the rating(4.9). However most other eateries in the area were also well rated and looked more up-market. I decided to give sky lanta a shot as it was very close to the evening market.

Upon approaching, two lovely ladies sitting at the front greeted us with the widest smiles and ushered us in, they made us feel welcome right away and always checked in to see if everything was going well.

We were spoilt with choice so after heated debate and discussion, we chose the mud crab, diced pork dish, a prawn dish and vegetable dish. (Apologies for not remembering the names)

Gosh were we in shock when we started feasting. First, the mud crab came out, and we were blown away at how flagrant and beautiful the flavours were. Not too spicy, with the right amount of tangy and very good drizzled on rice too. The mud crabs were large and with a lot of meat so very well worth the money too.

The diced pork dish was remarkable as well. Spicy just right and deep flavours with a lot of spices and seasoning, but not overpowering.

The vegetable dish, was 60 baht so we weren’t expecting much but it was filled with flavour too! I usually hate greens but loved it just as much as the pork one.

The prawn dish was also a hit, having the right amount of sauces and spice. I just wish I have the names of them so I can share with everyone..

We also asked if they did lobster and the lovely chef ( one of the ladies sitting outside in the beginning) said of course! She was happy for us to bring a lobster in, and to cook it anyway we liked. She even let us set a price! I absolutely loved their service and passion for cooking and you can see that it has been a happy and loving family business for years.

I hope one day to come back if I ever come back to Thailand and will definitely come back and visit before I leave.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this one...

We were 5 including a baby walking in middle of the sun looking for something to eat and the owner call us from far (in a most welcoming way, not a pushy way).there was no customer at that time, we were doubtful to try. without a doubt, This was the best restaurant we came across.. not just hospitality, they're very friendly, welcoming, and food was very good and very cheap!. as soon as we sat down, drenched with sweats and tired face, they served us with cold drinking water and fresh fruits. There was quite a lot of miscommunication because of language barrier but with google translate and google images, it works well. If you want to experience the true Thailand hospitality and friendliness and not mynmar frown face lets-be-done-with-it services, then come here. we satisfied with the food and their services. they put a big smile on our face.. HIGHLY...

We are here 4 times because their papaya salad was the freshest that I found on this side of the island. I LOVE spicy food and they were able to cater the spice level for both of us. The owner & her family are absolutely adorable! Every time we ordered extra spice, she would bring a plate of fruit or a coconut for us to squash the heat. She even brought us a fan one time. 🤣 Here is a pic of the Tom yum, stir fried holy basil with tofu, papaya salad, mixed vegetables, and...
