To be honest, this is a only restaurant that knows how to make an advertisement. But, food is not good at all. I see a lot of people marketing for this restaurant on REDBOOK (a App in China), but also lots of tourists said DONT COME. There are two reasons. 1) The average price of this restaurant is 30%-50% higher than the other restaurant. 2)The food is not good. This is the last dinner that I had in Koh Lipe, I ordered ’Fried squid with soy sauce‘ and ‘Crispy seafood salad’.

This place is overrated, we came here because of the good reviews but were quite disappointed. The place is crowded and people come and go all the time and share tables, not really a restaurant atmosphere. It took almost an hour for food to arrive at the table (also 20 min for simple drinks like cola and sprite) and because of the sharing of tables they brought us meals for other people multiple times so we had to redirect it.

So be mindful and check your bill before paying! We won’t come back, but we have to say the food and live music were good (not worth the...
