King Kitchen — Restaurant in Krabi Province

Okay, vegetarian food was good but I am giving 2 stars because of the hospitality and behaviour of hotel manager and who is running it. They are simply money minded and not so warm at all. So we ordered chicken tandoori for 260ThB which was anyways higher on the side but the worst part was that chicken was smelling bad when we were eating, initially we did not realised but before completing our first piece we were sure so we spoke to the attendant to change the remaining pieces pr if they keep all chicken and sea food in same place then cancel order because we did not wanted to have sea food flavour. After some time, the manager and his brother came one by one and they asked us In very rude way how can chicken smell like seafood (like really have not I ate chicken before ) we told it’s smelling to us he said you already ate 2 pieces and then they took rest 2 pieces and charged us for 2 leg pieces. I felt rediculous and seriously this is kind of service you don’t expect from such fancy restaurants. Also there is guy who stands on road and try to convince you to eat here and if you don’t like food don’t pay - he says. This is completely disaster because if you have complaints on food they will try to put you down like how can it be bad! I wil pay extra somewhere and even though veg was good I will not go not recommend anyone to come here if you do not want to put your mood off before eating ( which happened to us last night) the guys standing there saying don’t like don’t pay is a scam. Never visit here if hospitality is...

Ouch. After the street hawkers insisted that they have both a Thai and an Indian chef, we made the mistake of eating here, hoping to find some great Thai food. We should have kept walking...

Their mixed drinks are TERRIBLE. My friend ordered a mojito that looked more like swamp juice made of soda water, mint and lime pieces/chunks instead of a proper drink. It was unbalanced and nasty, so he sent it back. The Piña colada was disappointing and lacked rum. It was drinkable, at least, but overall, it was very mediocre.

Next, Tom Kha Talay. No lime in it whatsoever. No heat, either, and the Indian waiter told us you can't make Tom Kha soup spicy... SAY WHAT? I thought they had a Thai chef? Anyway, it needed fish sauce, lots of lime juice, peppers and LOVE. After that miss came the Tod Mun Pla. Looked like perfectly uniform and round sausage slices, fresh from the freezer. Definitely not home made. Served with a side of Mae Ploy chili sauce. BORING, UNINSPIRED. Thier so-called Thai chef probably looks a lot like a microwave oven.

The final kick in the butt came from the steamed mussels. The mussels were old and "mushy", and tasted... 'off'. I hope to hell they don't make me sick tonight.

I don't know who's giving this place 5 star reviews, but they obviously didn't order Thai food or mixed drinks. Maybe this is what pharangs are used to, but believe me--this was terrible. Don't waste your time or money here looking for...

Service and atmosphere are pretty average - neither awesome nor awful. However, the food was not remotely what I expect from a 4.6 star place.

Our group of 5 ordered 4 dishes, after being assured they have a Thai chef as well as an Indian chef. The tod mun was pre-packaged stuff you can get in the freezer section of any Asian market in the US, The accompanying dipping sauce seemed like basic Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce straight off the shelf. The mussels appeared to be old and came out mushy and unappetizing. The Tom kha talay was rather flavorless: it had no noticeable lime tartness, no hint of pepper heat, and needed fish sauce. Finally, the lamb samosas were okay, but the wrapper was rather doughy and overall just average.

Now for the drinks: The beer Chang was exactly as expected, straight out of the bottle. Two of us had fruit shakes, also exactly as expected. The Pina colada was okay, but not blended. The mojito was undrinkable and was sent back. The glass was essentially 25% lime pieces, 30% mint, and filled with soda water. It may have had some rum waved in its general direction, but one had to search for the taste of it. There certainly wasn't even a pony shot in the glass, nor was there any ice.

All in all, I cannot...
