Chom Ley Cafe — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

We've been in Samui for 2 weeks and this was unfortunately the worst meal we've had.

We were told it would be an hour before we'd get our food. We thought no big deal since there was a giant pool table we could use. In general we appreciate the transparency, but the attitude of the woman and the way she said it wasn't kind.

When we ordered food, the lady kept telling us that they were out of everything. So we basically ordered food without the things that were supposed to be included in the dish (we also paid full price even though it was their fault they didn't have those items)

We ordered... Laab (minced meat dish usually pork) Spring rolls Papaya salad with noodles

They gave us instead a fried chip with absolutely no meat in it. The most tasteless spring rolls and papaya salad with no noodles. I felt like I ate fried batter with old dirty oil. Each portion was small. Portions were also small.

Total was 450 Baht so not a big deal but you can get way better meals with better portions and better service in other places. You're paying for a beach view which is honestly free, you can just walk around there. Not worth it, will be back to swim in the area...

We went to dinner at Chom Ley Cafe as it was next to our hotel. It is a little tricky to access in the evening (either by beach way which is slightly lit or from the road) and we assume it is busy at lunchtime. It is a family run business and the service is friendly. We ordered the pork curry, mixed vegetables and the tamarind prawns. Food was delicious and was reasonably priced. There aren’t any cocktails on the menu however you can order wine and spirits like a gin and tonic and also beer. There is also a pool that can be used next to the bar as well as a pool table. Looking forward to coming back and trying out...

Absolutely terrible - we ordered pizza which they said would take longer, but it took 1.5 hours just for the first one. When it came, it looked like food poisoning on a plate.

When we tried to cancel the rest of the pizzas, there was a massive fuss, tried to make us pay for everything (we said we’d pay for the first, but not the other two).

Papaya salad was also the worst we’ve ever seen, Greek salad was questionable to say the least. The beer was tepid.

One good pointe: the view is great. And the...
