Kopitiam - City Hall Branch — Restaurant in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province

one main reason for 1-star review is that this restaurant need to improve staff's service mind. I came here around 2 PM on weekdays which have only 1-2 guest aside from my table. However, the staffs are reluctantly service me which is took over my order, I have to walked to the counter and handed over my order to them. I mean there are plenty of them, more than 5, that are free and grouping, chatting and did not pay attention to the customers at all. The worst part is that, they're run out of what I ordered which is ฮะเก๋า in dimsum set including, and they did not inform us. Instead they served dumpling (ขนมจีบ) without any explanation. They also forgot deep-fried doughsticks set (ปาท่องโก๋) and I need to recall them, the food itself is so-so, too much oil-riched and not freshly fried, the sauces were served like takeaway food. The atmosphere was musty despite open-aired restaurant, not fresh at all. 😷 the staff who served dimsum set kind of dropped the chopsticks to me harder than it should be 😟

Dim sum was superb. I really love the shrimp shumai and their slightly spicy black vinegar sauce. The southern style pork soup or "buk gut teh" was also very flavorful. The combination of soup with the fried dough (yau-ja-guay) was out of this world.

From my point of view as a Thai tourist, the place is absolutely worth a visit...perhaps more than one...

A well-known dim sum restaurant in the heart of Nakhon Si Thammarat, this iconic spot has been serving locals and visitors alike for years. The menu is filled with a variety of dim sum dishes, all reasonably priced with flavors that truly deliver. A must-try here is the crispy Chinese cruller, known locally as "Yu Char Kway," served with a pandan custard dip. Pair it with hot Chinese tea for an incredibly satisfying experience. Another standout dish is the Bak Kut Teh, with its savory, umami-rich taste infused with aromatic Chinese herbs. If you're visiting Nakhon Si Thammarat, this is a spot you...
