Really good dinner - we were served dishes way more sophisticated than avg on the island. I would recommend the set menu, which will set you back 1300 Baht for 2 but will fill you up and let you taste a nice set of 6 dishes! I was pretty sad with the way some waitresses in green uniforms (the "full time" employees) were looking really annoyed and pissed off. The trainees that served us were the nicest ever (in white uniforms). This one lady in green (pointless to mention the name) standing 3 meters from me literally and theatrically snorted and rolled her eyes when the trainee I asked a dessert price to asked her how much that was (he obviously didn't remember). She lazily went for the menu and gave it to him so that he could show me. I felt really bad, my gf and I are always extremely careful about being kind, show appreciation, smile to all workers and never bother them. But this embarassing scene was all in front of me, making me feel like I shouldn't have asked. The restaurant manager is just the sweetest guy just like most others. As an advice to him I would encourage to pay attention to staff that is having a really bad day... We all do, but when it's too obvious or theatrical, it can really make people feel bad. Other than that, great food and location :)

Expensive but the quality was good. But the best point is the location: great sea view in a nice garden atmosphere.

For these prices (lunch 200-400) I would require something more out of the ordinary! Not worth it food wise, fancy and over achieving service (33cl bottle of beer half poured waited in an ice bucket away from the table) which definitely overwhelms in comparison. However, when we wanted to pay all of a sudden all service stopped.

The food was prety good but the taste was more european than thay. The price was a little bit expensive for this type of food.

June 2017. Traveling with an infant and 2 year old, we visited for dinner twice via their free pick up drop off service from a nearby resort. Our experiences there was memorable and the food was fantastic. I had read about this place and was looking forward to enjoying their hospitality and cuisine. They didn't disappoint on both counts. The staff were both professional, thoughtful and made sure we felt comfortable at all times. They understood the trials of traveling with kids and really helped us relax and enjoy. Many reviews mention portions being small for the price but I believe what you get is reasonable and also the whole experience part of their appeal. Definitely recommend and would go again.

The food was good and the service was excellent. They picked us up from a neighboring hotel and dropped us off at the restaurant. We were sat by their garden with an excellent view of the sea and the near by islands. They had a good selection of dishes which arrived very quickly after ordering. I also ordered a Passion fruit mojito which was lovely. At the end of the evening they took us back home. A very good experience.

Very welcoming place, lovely setting with great views. Dinner was excellent! Don't forget your moskito spray!

Thought I would write a quick review, since I was a bit hesitant to book a week here, not knowing what it was like post COVID. well long story short: it was great! so great I ended up extending my trip to 10 days. I rated it 4 out of 5 because: 1. I dont trust places that only have 5s, and 2. there are some minor reopening challenges the place is working thru, but what business isn't? my ratings: value: amazing. you get so much for your money: good lodging, breakfast, three classes a day, bikes, kayaks... accommodations: great. i got a bungalow with AC, basic but all good. food: pretty good. same basic breakfast everyday. more options for midday snaking would be nice. tai chi: amazing. wake up at 5:30 and do it, you can beat it. yoga: very good: beginner/intermediate level, lots of focus on breathwork and mobility, not as much on technical adjustments, but if you talk to Marcello, he'll take you thru a legit Ashtanga practice. getting there: super easy. I was concerned about this but it was seamless. other things: the resort is right down the beach from 6 senses, so you are getting the same view for a fraction of the cost. I was a bit worried about being bored, but the island has tons of great cafes and restaurants to checkout, and the hotel arranged two boat trips for me to go out diving/exploring. Other folks went rock-climbing or did their digital nomad gigs during the day. So, there is plenty to do, and if you do all the classes that's 5 hours of your day right there. super glad I did it: I'm leaving feeling so much better than I went in, and that's the whole point, right?

Absolutely loved Island Yoga. Everyone is so lovely and welcoming. Receptionists were so nice, I directly felt at home. Food was really good, I enjoyed the long extended breakfasts in the yogi cafe. Yoga and meditation lessons were both relaxing and challenging, good for all levels as the teachers always try that everyone enjoys the class. Different Yoga instructors to learn from. Yoga cats are lovely too. 100% recommendation. I will be back.

Two days here and I will not come back: Rooms are not clean and lack any decorations to make you feel at home. The beach is not nice and is very dirty. The pool is small and dirty. Teachers are always different, and not all are professionals. Staff is on duty from 10 a.m. and off at 4 p.m. If anything happens, you need to solve the problem by yourself or wait the day later. Breakfast is basic. Community dinner didn't happen as the staff chose to fight with each other and cancelled it for no reason. There are many other yoga studios in Phuket that deserve much more than this island yoga studio, which is cheaper and has more options around. You can simply book another resort on the island with a cheaper price and drop in for the yoga classes if they have, as many times they have canceled without any notification. They provide massage, but it is simple and inside a small room; I would not recommend it at all.

Very relaxing place on a quiet beach. You will be in good hands with Marcelo, yoga teacher, David for the climb and Ning’s family for the resort. Do not miss the 8am yoga class but if you want a wake up session, it can be arranged at 6am on the beach!

My partner and I came to Island Yoga for a 4 day retreat and ended up staying 3 weeks. This experience is personally for me the greatest gift to myself. A true discovery of tool for personal improvement and serenity. I am a gym guy, but with island Yoga, Meditation and Yoga will now forever (hopefully be in my regular practice. The Teachers, and the whole staff quite frankly are nothing short of inspiring. Their kindness, professionalism and passion for what they do is inspiring. I will definitely come back, hopefully soon enough, and I will take my brother with me. So that he may discover what I have lived.

Experience of a lifetime🫶🏻💫wonderful location, the best staff and cozy bungalows. Spent 1 week there and couldn‘t have asked for more. Yoga, meditation, Tai Chi by the sunrise and amazing food. It‘s the perfect place if you need to recharge and reconnect with yourself. Can‘t wait to be back one day!

I had a wonderful and quiet stay. It was a very nice environment, people were kind and open, the yoga classes and teachers were very good and breakfast was excellent. I would definitely go again and recommed it. Very good value for money. I am not giving 5 stars just because 1. the bathrooms in the dorm could have been cleaned better/more frequently, 2. the taxi to go to the airport booked by the reception didn't pick me up as expected at the pier. Despite these two elements, it was amazing. An environment with very positive vibes. Thank you to the local team <3 Advice: get a room with A/C. Hottest periods like April are unbearable.

The most welcoming and warmest place I've ever been. Staff was extremely kind and helpful. The yoga teachers were truly professionals and made my 6 days visit very comfortable even though I'm a beginner in yoga. Teachers gave different kind of variations to do with poses. The whole place was like magic. Peaceful and amazingly beautiful island and the whole atmosphere at Island Yoga was all about kindness, compassion and good vibes. This truly was a place to feel safe, peaceful and good about yourself and everybody and everything around you. 🙌

This place has become my spiritual home and one of the most special places I’ve been too in the whole world. I visited for the first time in 2016 and have since come back regularly. It is here that I discovered yoga and have gone into training as a teacher myself. The views, the sunrise every morning, the yoga classes, and most importantly ***the people***, are beyond what a review could make justice. It is truly a hidden gem away from the busy tourist trails, offering a true experience of Thai culture and kindness.

Absolutely loved my week at Island Yoga. The Tai Chi, Yoga and Meditation classes were excellent, all the teachers are very highly experienced and knowledgeable and the community was so fun and lovely. The staff were wonderful, so helpful and kind. The beach is beautiful and location is great, easy walk, cycle or drive to some lovely restaurants and cafes. I would highly recommend and am already planning my next trip back.

Island Yoga is a beautiful calm peaceful place with cute little bungalows. We really enjoyed our days there and loved the mantra meditation and yoga in the morning. The sunrise tai chi was beautiful aswell. The staff is super friendly and this is the perfect place to calm down and fully relax.

I really loved my stay at the retreat! The staff is so lovely, it has a big family vibe. The location and the yoga teacher are also very nice. Only downside is its too many people in the yoga class so you don't really have enough space to move. Except that you get something really lovely and calm, it's a good getaway after a hectic period! Food was also great, loved the buffet for breakfast!

Must go-to yoga center and cafe on the Island. Food always fresh healthy - my favorite being the breakfast style buffet. My training loved walking here every morning to eat together after practice. Really chill ambiance, cozy clean and comfy. 💕💕💕💕💛💛💛 Can’t forget their yoga cats and special yoga Shalas plus the way the flowers and garden are kept. Has a very warm place in my heart ☺️

A hidden gem and perfect if you like it calm and natural. Layed back vibe, everything works, lovely staff, best fresh fruits (yummy food in general), inspiring and open people that are easy to connect with. I stayed for 8 nights which was perfect, but also 6-10 is great to immerse. I would have loved some more spiritual deep dive, but it was a good and inspiring level. It's super easy to get here; it took me only a bit more than 1h from Phuket Airport. Thank you! I already miss you. Sending love

Just finished the 10 day sadhana here at the gorgeous Island Yoga. What a fantastic way to start the new year! The location is fantastic and the bungalows are spacious, comfortable and clean. But the best thing is the people. The yoga teachers are all outstanding and are so full of love and teachings. I have improved my practice more in the last ten days then I have at any other retreat. All of the retreat staff from reception to the cafe are so kind and friendly. Coming as a solo traveller was perfect as the cafe is a great way to meet people and the food is yummy. Would 100% recommend a life-changing stay here.

Loved my 6 nights at Island Yoga! As an inflexible yoga rookie, I was hesitant at first about the retreat, but Im so glad I did it, met lots of great people who were all very welcoming, staff were great and loved the yoga sessions, food and activities available. Great island also, nice and relaxed but also cafes and restaurants available. Highly recommend this retreat!

I firs visited Island Yoga as a guest at the beginning of February 2024. On that occasion, I booked a 10-night yoga vacation, which proved to be the ideal time to settle in and deepen my yoga practice and meditation considerably, as well as to relax and let go. I really enjoyed the location: Koh Yao Noi - a small, un-touristy island in Thailand where one can enjoy slow time, peace and contact with nature that infuse new and positive energy. I was also particularly impressed by the quality of the connections and sharing with the traveller community, the yoga classes and the exchange with the staff (including the lovely yogi cats). In short... I liked it so much that after two months of solo travel adventures in South East Asia I wanted to return to Island Yoga and applied for a volunteer work position. Thus, I spent the month of April working as an assistant cook/chef at Island Yoga's café & restaurant. Besides pushing me out of my comfort zone, this volunteering experience allowed me to deepen and nourish my yoga practice, as well as to connect and share a special lifestyle and service with many like-minded individuals within the yoga community. Overall, my stay at Island Yoga and Koh Yao Noi island was deeply enriching and inspiring - I definitely recommend it and I will certainly visit again!

The service at this place deserves 10 stars. The staff is so kind. It was my 3the time here and really recommend this place if you love yoga, community, great breakfast and a quiet island. It's amazing how you can allways find nice people here. I love the thai-chi with a great view. David is even after many years still excited about teaching which is admirable. I love the group meditation and the yoga. And let's not forget the great carrot cake. I recommend staying for a longer periode so you get really in to calming your mind and opening your heart. Thank you so much!! So much gratitude!!

We loved staying here. Such a beautiful spot and a great vibe. The most chilled place ever. We stayed in a private bungalow with AC and it was lovely and cool and bed was comfy. Shower was great. Lovely hammock to chill in on the veranda. We loved it because it was cosy and beautiful and relaxed. Not luxurious or low budget kitch. Just nicely perfectly imperfect attracting the type of people we love to be around. Openminded and super friendly. You can choose to join in a lot or you can choose to be more private. Everything goes here. We liked it a lot also because it was very diverse when it came to age, sex and heritage. Staff was ever so welcoming and lovely. We would love to come back.

Amazing yoga retreat & accommodation with simple, clean, comfy bungalows and very nice, calm, laid -back atmosphere. The teachers are great and the entire team is super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time here very much and we hope to return soon. It was one of the best ways to start this year 🏝🙏🏽🌊🧘‍♀️ thank you island yoga!

There is no surprise there are so many good reviews! Immediately met with a warm welcome and sat with a stunning view of the bay. Food was to die for. Massive prawns from local fishermen prepared perfectly. Their signature dessert was a total surprise. Couldn’t fit any more food in.

Small family run restaurant. Staff were really attentive. Food was fresh and well presented. Tasted amazing too! We came to have dinner so could not appreciate the views but I can imagine them to be stunning given the beach/sea location.

Fab place to eat- and we are vegetarian! It’s the location and friendliness that set this place apart. If you can go around or just after sunset, even though it’s on the East, the colours were stunning. We had pad Thai and fried noodles, both veggie, plus deep fried bananas for pudding (best we’ve had, and we ate these a lot in Indonesia so we’re super happy!)

Memorable! Stunning experience from the taking off of shoes on entry, the friendly staff, efficient service and kitchen, delicious fresh food and unparallel location. Worth coming on to the Island just for that. Can't wait to have the chance to dine here again. Many thanks for such precious meal with a view.

Really great spot. We had various Thai food with chicken, and it was super delicious. They also serve fresh sea food, if this your thing - go here. Table next to us, was excited about their lunch as well.

We coincidently stumbled upon this place when exploring the island and what a lucky discovery it was! The service was 10/10, they were very sweet and attentive and gave recommendations on the menu, we could see what they had caught that morning and told us about it. Besides the service the food itself was also really great, we had fried fish and crab and it couldn’t have been better. The restaurant is beautifully located and the vibe of the place is calm and serene. Nothing could’ve been better.

This place is so worth visiting! Staff is really friendy and helpful to choose the best food. I strongly recommend garlic and chilli shrimps. Also we tried sweet and sour fish - one of the best meals i tried in Thailand. It’s definitely different place than many others here. Don’t miss it.

World-class food in a great place. Booking advised as it can get packed even during low season. Prices of fresh seafood unfortunately is also “world-class” at US$80/kg

This place is fantastic! Worth it to come from Bangkok and charter a boat just to eat here. The staff is friendly and the owner, Tatar, always gives the freshest recommendations. This is worthy of a Michelin Star!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the best restaurant in the island! We came here for the third times. The seafoods are so fresh and delicious. The boss is very friendly and provides good service. Highly recommended for a memorable meal

Incredible food, great service, fantastic atmosphere. Too bad that we were not staying longer, we would definitely have wanted to try their other dishes. We will recommend it.

Superb Restaurant with delicious traditional food & friendly service and a stunning view & atmosphere. Can highly recommend the Pad Thai, the steamed Snapper with lime sauce and especially the Banana-in-Coconut-desert.

Sooo delicious! The first time in Thailand during 2 years finally we can eat good cooked seafood! Everything is so fresh and local! Family business with big soul! Highly recommended!

🦞🦐🦀🦑🐟 This restaurant was one of the reasons I decided to take a shuttle boat from Koh Yao Noi to Koh Yao Yai and it turned out that everything was super great as I expected. I ordered grilled squid(It didnt look big from the picture, but believe me it was biggggg), deep fried shrimp wrapped with rice noodle and steamed seabass with lime sauce. I liked everything. You can pick fresh seafood from the boxes in front of the kitchen and tell them what dish you want them to make. The staffs were nice and helpful. I'd love to come back again.

The meals were nothing short of extraordinary. The menu boasted a fantastic variety of mouthwatering Thai dishes, each prepared with finesse and authenticity. Whether it was the flavorful satay or the aromatic green mango salad, every bite was delightful. We asked the staff, and they told us that the food was Halal What truly stood out, besides the exquisite food, was the staff's attentiveness and helpfulness. Dining with the tranquil sound of water beneath added to the overall charm. It's not just a restaurant; it's a captivating culinary haven on the shores of Ko Yao Yai.

We have been here 4 times through years from 2017. Great food, friendly staff, nice view. Green mango salad is magnificent. Everything I had was so good but I think their smoothies/ice blended drinks are seriously one of the best in the country.

Must visit restaurant on Koh Yao Yai! The freshest seafood, so flavorful, in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend making a stop here!

The best restaurant on the island by far! AMAZING food! WONDERFUL service! BEAUTIFUL view! Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and it's staff!!

Awesome food and service. The atmosphere makes you feel welcome as a family member. Seafood is fresh and yummy. Definitely a place must go when you are in Koh Yao Yao.

A cute cafe part of Cape Kudu Hotel. I came here several times during my stay. There is seating inside and outside, but I always chose to sit outside to enjoy the ocean view :) You can come for coffee, breakfast, lunch, or dessert.. they have a good variety for all.

Chic little cafe with a nice view and good coffee. Breakfast, eggs Benedict was good. Came back another day to have an ice cream, delicious.

Great coffee and chicken salad. The design of the coffee is really beautiful. Lovely staff.

Very stylish chic cafe, probably the only one in Koh Yao Noi. I had blueberry yogurt ice cream and it was SO good! Staffs are very lovely and polite and able to recommend their products efficiently. Impressed with design and all the little details, the view is spectacular. Perfect spot to escape from the heat! Thank you staff team, I'll be back :)

Little lovely Café right on the coast with beautiful view onto the Islands of Koh Hong. High quality coffee, good Thai food and extraordinary western food, too. During our week on Koh Yao Noi, we had pancakes, Fried Rice, Cheesecake, Sandwiches and salad and we never got disappointed.

You should come here for two things: 1. A/C 2. Beautiful photos I haven’t tried the food but I can only assume, it’s not worth the poor service and subpar beverages. I’ve been three separate times (for the reasons above). It wasn’t until the third visit that I became fed up. There are about 5 servers behind the counter and they all just sit around and gossip. Since it’s self service, I’m really not sure the need for them all. When I have seen them deliver food to guests outside, they slouch and drag their feet and act like they hate having to do a job. Each time I’ve asked for a spoon or straw, it felt like an inconvenience to them. Honestly, this experience makes me look badly at kudu hotel. Is the staff there the same? Lastly, avoid the macarons at all costs!! They are very stale and way too sweet. Tastes 0 like a macaron. Wi-Fi is also shaky.

Best coffee we had on the island. The mango sticky rice was amazing and the coconut pana cotta a dream. They had cute Halloween decorations up during our visit. Drove over in the morning to get our coffee fix just before our boat.

Good homemade bread and desserts, pizza. Burgers and salad with beetroot are eatable, but not something to order again. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly. They accept credit cards which is convenient.

Woww😍❤️ What a lovely place on an island🏝💗 The pizza is delicious! The desserts are a bit too sweet for me. Still I like their pancake and ice cream! The staff are very friendly and smiley 💕 The café also offers two selections of postcards. What a place for postcard lover like me 😝 The view in front the café is just amazing💯

Very cute next to the Cape Cudu hotel. The café is known for its cake in the entire island. We tried some cakes, ice cream, crepes etc. And food was always delicious. It's extremely cute and cosy 😍 it's nice for every meal and desserts. Staff understand more English than they can talk/communicate, but they are very friendly and try their best to help.

Nice small Cafe not far from the Beach. Perfect for relaxing after exploring the island with a motorcycle.

My boyfriend’s favorite of coffee café ! He loves to drink coffee here more than 2 times per day. For me personally, I like their dessert a lot! Reminds me to Bangkok place.

Fantastic cafe. Great food selection? Includes solid pizzas and some great pastas. Staff are really nice too. My favourite food on the island.

Nice cafe with a nice atmosphere and a view of the sea. The food and drinks are delicious and the staff are very friendly. You have to order inside but you can also sit outside. There is also western food and a large selection of cakes.

Really nice location with seaview. Sitting is possible inside (with AC) and outside. Bowls, cakes and drinks are delicious ☺️

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The food, both Western and Thai, is soo delicious and really cheap. The servers are friendly and accomadating to any dietary restrictions.

Since I first came to the island nearly 4 years ago I have been to this cafe a lot, usually for the delicious cakes, ice cream and coffee. Today, for a change, came here for lunch and the Gyudong Beef & Rice bowl.....it was absolutely delicious. A generous serving of beef that was perfectly cooked. Sadly, no room for cake now, but pictures included from previous visits 😎😋😋 Wonderful staff here, lovely peaceful ambience and fantastic views across to Krabi.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The service was absolutely top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere was also great - stylishly decorated with a fantastic vibe. But the real star of the show was the food. Everything I tried was extremely tasty and well-prepared. The menu had a great variety of options to choose from, and I appreciated the attention to detail in each dish. And let's not forget about the cocktails - they were expertly crafted and absolutely delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant. With its great service, stylish atmosphere, and delicious food and drinks, it's definitely worth a visit. I've been here multiple times now and each time has been better than the last. Don't hesitate to check it out!

Wir hatten hier mit Abstand das beste Essen unseres ganzen Thailandurlaubs. Es gab kein Gericht, das uns nicht geschmeckt hat. Im Gegenteil: Alles war immer deutlich raffinierter, besser, schöner als das was wir woanders bekommen haben. Außerdem wurde uns das Essen und die Gedanken dahinter super gut erklärt. Persönliches Highlight für mich: Es gibt tolle Cocktails. Die findet man meiner Meinung nach auf den Inseln sonst nur schwer. Das hausgemachte Eis ist übrigens auch sehr empfehlenswert. Und Nachtisch geht ja immer. 🙂 Gut zu wissen: Vorher online reservieren, sonst kann es sein, dass man keinen Platz mehr bekommt. (Translated by Google) We had by far the best meal of our entire Thailand vacation here. There wasn't a dish that we didn't like. On the contrary: everything was always much more sophisticated, better and more beautiful than what we got elsewhere. In addition, the food and the ideas behind it were explained to us very well. Personal highlight for me: There are great cocktails. In my opinion, it's difficult to find them on the islands. The homemade ice cream is also highly recommended. And dessert is always possible. 🙂 Good to know: Make a reservation online in advance, otherwise you may not get a spot.

We had 2 amazing evenings with fantastic food, great cocktails, friendly staff and a nice location!

Delicious authentic Thai food, with amazing hospitality and service. Everything we had over our three visits was really delicious. The homemade mango and coconut ice cream is so good, make sure you leave room!

HANDS DOWN the best (chicken) Massaman curry I've ever had. The Duck curry was also amazing. When we arrived, they gave us a complimentary entree of tomato with pickled tea leaves. That was packed full of flavour. The chicken Massaman curry is served with a piece of crispy chicken skin. Um YUMM! Perfect flavours! The duck curry was so tasty and spicy as they say. Note, the restaurant menu says they cannot reduce the spice-level without compromising flavour, I totally understand this. If you're after cocktails, we had the awarding winning Siam Sunset. It was so good we had 3! The restaurant also provided us a small serving of complimentary fruit at the end of our meal. Service and food is 10/10! All up we spent 1800baht on two mains, three cocktails and a beer. Trust me, it's worth it. Note, BOOK A TABLE for peak times. We came around 3pm for a late lunch and we noticed that nearly ALL the tables had reserved signs!

Nice small restaurant from a German 🇩🇪 owner, his name is Frank, with very good food and very good service & explaining of the food❣️👍🏻. We went back here for four times 😋😁

Wir waren begeistert! Vom Empfang bis zur Rechnung hervorragender Service. Unser Essen war mega lecker und die Portionen alle groß. Zu jedem Gericht erhielten wir eine kurze Erläuterung und ggf. einen Tipp zum Essen. Absolut liebevoll und kein bisschen aufdringlich! 😀 Haben direkt für den übernächsten Tag nochmal reserviert. 👌👍 (Translated by Google) We were thrilled! Excellent service from reception to invoice. Our food was delicious and the portions were all large. We received a short explanation of each dish and, if necessary, a tip about what to eat. Absolutely loving and not the least bit intrusive! 😀 We made another reservation for the day after next. 👌👍

It is so rare, as a budget traveler, that I come across a restaurant like Rice Paddy. There is something both so humble and classy about this place. The owner, was once a French cuisine chef, clearly has a vision of superb service, ambience and quality of ingredients while also having an ethic of keeping it affordable. You can meet him every evening where he will passionately tell you about the food. We came here 3 times and loved it. The madsaman curry was so good I had it every single time — the vegetarian lamb is made from stringy mushrooms and is so delicious. They have plenty of vegetarian options. This is THE place to eat on the entire island. You might want to reserve a table especially if the weather isn’t great. Enjoy!

Great menu, well priced food, helpful friendly onwer and staff, had the Thai duck curry which was delicious, definitely recommend it, really authentic flavour, good sized portion, nice location

Great spot to have a nice dinner on the island. Lots of outside seating as well as an inside area. They have a large selection of Western and Asian food and also good wine and drink options. We left with our bellies full and happy! :)

We had dinner there 4 times as we really considered it a great place: fabulous food, very nice service and the owner was really offering valuable info about dishes and ingredients. I highly recommend this place ♥️

Loved the food. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the service. My wife and I showed up both nights without a reservation (although I would recommend you try to get one, I’m just lazy). Owner is blunt so be prepared. We’re frankly tired of the poor service in America so we really loved how he treated us. It was my wife’s birthday and he brought out desert with candles and sang to her. She felt so special. He cares about his restaurant enough to work alongside his people and we couldn’t appreciate that more. We’re staying in the area for 7 days and plan to go back at least 1 more time before we leave.

Amazing food and great hosts. They give personal touch to every dish. Almost all dishes can be vegetarian. Definitely try the fruit cup with ice cream for dessert.

Checks all the boxes. Amazing views. Service was great. And food was so delicious. Besides the amazing food, the best part about this place was the passion the owner has for Thai cuisine. I loved how he explained the dishes we ordered and gave us background into the rich flavors of Thai dishes. Get the Madsaman curry and the Sate's!

Best Restaurant on Koh Yao Noi! If you are a foodie and looking for an experience, you can't miss this place. The food has Michelin-star quality for a reasonable price. For my understanding it was even the best price- performance ratio in Thailand. Absolutly loved it!

Amazing food cooked and presented with a lot of passion by Mr. Frank and the rest of the staff, great hospitality and awesome Mai Tais. Easily the best Tom Kha Gai we tried in Thailand (and we tried many) - cooked with chicken thigh, a legendary beef Massaman curry, super tasty pineapple fried rice and a refreshing fried banana with homemade ice cream. Portions are also very generous and the only regret I have is that I don't have another stomach to try out more tasty treats, including the mango sticky rice. Strongly recommend and looking forward to visiting again when back on Koh Yao Noi. In Mr. Frank's words, "come to Rice Paddy with an open mind" and I promise you will not be disappointed.

An absolute must visit when on Koh Yao Noi - my partner said it was the best meal he’s had in our entire Thailand holiday. We went during lunch and there was ample seating, however I hear it’s very busy in the evening - I can imagine with the fairy lights, it would be just a wonderful view. If we were staying any longer, we’d definitely be returning.
