Mon Restaurant — Restaurant in Ko Lanta Yai

I can understand why this place has received positive reviews for its food and affordability—it’s definitely tasty and budget-friendly. We ordered the veggie pad Thai and pad see ew with chicken, and both dishes were delicious, flavorful, and worth the price. If you're looking for good Thai food at a low cost, this spot delivers on that front.

However, I can’t say the same about the service, location, or atmosphere. The restaurant itself feels haphazardly put together, and I had serious concerns about the structural integrity—it felt like the roof could cave in at any moment. The location is also less than ideal. Situated on an unpaved road, every time a vehicle passed by which was all the time, a wall of dust would engulf the restaurant, covering everything in a fine layer of dirt. When we walked in, all the tables and chairs were already dusty, which wasn’t the most inviting sight.

The service was another letdown. While the staff greeted us, they were too preoccupied with folding laundry to attend to us properly. We were told to help ourselves with the menus because they were busy running what seemed to be a laundry business adjacent to the kitchen. It was an odd and distracting setup that took away from the dining experience.

In summary, if you’re solely after affordable and tasty Thai food, this place might be worth a visit. But if you value good service, a pleasant atmosphere, or a clean environment, you’ll likely be disappointed. The combination of poor location, questionable infrastructure, and lackluster service makes it hard to fully recommend...

This is truly a great place. The staff welcomes you with its friendly smile and a very inviting setting right from the moment you get inside.

The food is phenomenal! The menu has a huge variety of authentic Thai dishes and also western food options are available.

What's even better is that the prices are very reasonable, especially when compared to other restaurants on the island.

The fruit smoothies are the best you'll find around Long Beach. Refreshing, flavorful, and made of the freshest fruits, they are the perfect treat to cool you down after a day of exploring.

All in all great food, wonderful variety, fantastic taste, and unbeatable prices-this place has it all. We ate here pretty much every day...

Nice small restaurant short distance from the beach. The menu had lots of Thai dishes, not much western style which always is a good sign. We tried tom yam soup, noodles with shrimp and chicken with ouster sauce and one chicken with ginger. The noodles were of the thick size which we do not like. That's on us to not check before order. The other dishes were good and tasty. Fresh and good taste on all dishes. Recommend to go there and try multiple dishes as the pricing was excellent Highly...
