Kai Yok Krok Pattaya — Restaurant in Pattaya City

Update Oct2024 It seems they take a lot of vacations???? I think the last 4 times we tried to go there (for lunch or dinner, on different days of the week) they have been unexpectedly closed. Disappointing visiting friends who we tried to take there each time. That makes it really difficult to recommend. We wasted our time and money on Grab taxi trying to go each time. The food is GREAT, IF the restaurant is actually open when you arrive. If you plan to go, I would strongly suggest calling or messaging first to confirm they are open.

😆😆⬇️Old review ⬇️😆😆 We forgot it was a holiday and the place was crazy busy. They ran out of BBQ chicken. 😜. But the other food we had was very good. Definitely will go back to try the chicken. Grilled Pork Neck, Sun Dried Fried Beef, and Corn Shrimp Salad were great. Larb Balls were the only thing we wouldn't order again.

Dec2023 - went back again and thankfully it wasn't crazy busy as it was the last time we went. This time we got to try the house grilled chicken, and it was fantastic. It came with a side dipping sauce which at first glance had me worried that it would be a super spicy chili sauce, but I was completely wrong. It was a fantastic tamarind sauce, a little sweet and citrus. Corn and Salted egg salad with shrimp was delicious. Isaan sausage and fried Sundried pork was delicious too. We tried a mushroom salad, which I thought was mostly mushroom, but to my surprise it was basically somtum Thai (papaya salad) with mushrooms. I brought a friend who was visiting from Scotland, and he said it was the best food we've had so far. Definitely would recommend...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMG !!!! 🍀🐔

Succulent and juicy rotisserie chicken

Another great addition to the area.

Wonderful friendly staff. Limited English, but the menu has pictures.

Food(see pictures):

KaiYang(Rotisserie chicken) service with a sweet sauce topped with fried garlic and peanuts. This is some mouth watering, succulent and juicy chicken. A must order.

Gang Om Moo (pork/vege soup). Lemongrass,curry leafs, other herbs, pork, watercress and small amount of chili. Lightly sour taste and a hint of spiciness. Delicious

Daun Kao Pod(corn salad with tomatoes and sweet chili's). I'm not a spicy person, so this salad had the perfect amount of sweet and spiciness. Another wonderful dish

Dom Sao Leong (Pork bone green chili soup). Gnawing goodness. The soi dogs will salivate as you devour and dip the bone into the green chili soup.

Best time to visit: Weekdays Before lunch(10:00-11:30 hours) Before dinner ( 14:30-16:30 ). Weekend…good luck 🙏🙏🙏

Location is between the Boat Noodle restaurant and Durian seller(see photo for front of restaurant).

Plenty of street parking in the area

It’s a must visit.

Added bonus: 20 feet away. Osure Cafe. Best “double” Americano in pattaya(see my...

Update August 2025: We've been here at least 10 or 12 times since my first review. Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more of a tourist restaurant. The food doesn't taste as good anymore, and comparable food is cheaper and better elsewhere. I'm also fed up with the constant upgrade selling strategy. Someone is constantly coming to the table trying to sell you something. The music is also very loud, making it almost impossible to have a normal conversation at the table. The parking mafia isn't making it any better. You're practically not allowed to park in front of the restaurant, not even when there's a baby in the car and my dad has trouble walking. That's not acceptable; they basically only approved of us parking in front, as our car far exceeds the usual standard. Basically, if you payd less than 3 million for your car, you're not even allowed to get out of the car park in front of the restaurant.

Overall, really good food, the skin of the chicken should have been crispy. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Otherwise, it's good taste. The smothie was too sweet for me, too much sirup.. The restaurant was well attended, and almost every seat was taken. For 4 people, we spent around 1600 THB for food and the...
