Secret Kitchen — Restaurant in Krabi Province

As you can tell by the exterior picture, it doesn't look like a restaurant. Actually walked pass twice by mistake. Looks more like a gas station that serves simple food.

Behind the facade, a small place that sits maybe 20 people. Open air kitchen where you can watch where the magic happens, fresh every time. And judge for yourself their hygiene standards. Another nice feature is they offer free ice and also water on every table. The menu was quite full, pages of dishes. If watching Thai cooking is your thing, the demo is free! Looks like they have two cooks, one doing stir fry, the other the soupy dishes.

The secret part is a misnomer! Despite the appearance, there was a constant buzz of guests, nearly all tourists. No surprise that I was warned by the waitress, I will have to wait 20 minutes.

I’ve been staying just up the road for a week and only just found this gem today. Eaten here twice already. If you are the kind of person that wants a good, well cooked simple toe of Thai food at very fair prices then look no further. The Rad Naa noodle broth I’m currently eating is the business. I lived in BKK for two years and I’m no stranger to the better quality Thai food. Gai taut (chicken wings are not greasy or overdone. Well done...

This place is kinda small but literally a hidden gem with delicious food! Very underrated! Best noodles and fried rice in Ao Nang with home recipes! Very kind and welcoming people too. We rented a scooter at a very good price from this place as well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for fresh homemade and heart poured food! Ate from here throughout my whole krabi trip and Definitely coming back here anytime I visit krabi!...
