Mr. Eung Seafood — Restaurant in Ko Samui

Great, cozy and family-run restaurant, in a side street to the "main street". Two times already eaten there for dinner and it was always super tasty, the third time follows... Thai dishes, such as Pad Thai, Som Tam or the Green Mango Salad, always delicious and priced okay, also the curry tastes great. Wishes regarding the degree of spiciness are always perfectly arranged by the kitchen. Choeng Mon is a touristy, smaller place where most restaurants are very similar, no matter if offer or prices. The "Mr. Eung" is in any case something special, alone by the somewhat crazy-loving, wacky nature of the chef, always in a good mood, for nice conversations to have and gives great recommendations for the food. Definitely one of the three best places here and you can't go wrong. Dear Mr. Eung and family, it's just wonderful with you, be sure to keep it great and thank...

Read the good reviews and since I wasn't all too far away, thought I would give it a try.

Service was attentive, friendly and quick.

However on the food, it was pretty unexceptional. The green curry had chicken that was pretty overcooked, but the vegetals stir fry, prawn cakes and the thai basil pork was as expected and typical.

Certainly not poor by any measure, but I am very sure there much better thai eateries on the island. Prices were also on the high side, THB800 for 2 including 1 beer.

Good if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get here...

The food was fresh (the whole fish before cooking had been caught that day and you could tell by the eyes), well seasoned and the variety of flavors great.

For apps we had the spring rolls which were some of the best I've had, along with the chicken satay, which was moist and delicious.

For our mains we had whole fish with garlic and chili (amazing!), BBQ prawns, green curry with chicken, pork with ginger, chicken with basil and chili and the morning glory vegetables. The fish and prawns were the standout dishes, but all were high quality.

Above and beyond all that, Mr Eung made our experience truly wonderful! He was very accommodating and hospitable and delightful to deal with. We...
