Where to eat Asian food in Ko Samui: The Best Restaurants and Bars

March 30, 2020 Margarita Chappel

Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Ko Samui. Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

No cocktails! Why? Amazing menu list. Very decent prices!The most incredible Tandoori vegetables in the world! Nice salad. Perfect tandoori chicken, smoky flavour and softcooked! And a mild chicken curry..great. good portions! Great papadam with sauces..perfect service. In my eyes, in Thailand the absolute best price/quantity/quality relation Indian restaurant of Thailand and Vietnam! Most others are just ripoffs and far beyond the quality and tastes offered here....absolutely outstanding! Congratulations! A Highlight..

The Red Moon restaurant at The Fisherman's Village in Bophut Koh Samui was a great treat. In true French style, Chef and owner 'Gao' met, greeted and explain his menu to us. I enjoyed the very best curry Iv'e ever tasted but Gao is truly famous for his slow cooked (7 hour) New Zealand 'Lamb Shanks'. Sincere thanks Gao for an amazing evening.

Quick efficient and friendly fluent English service by Korean Owner who’s a great character and charming. We had fired dumplings which were outstanding and vegan things which were lovely (ordered 5 portions x 8 as the boys were starving). We ordered a seared salmon which was superb, Korean bbq of striploin, rice, lots of large beers and two bottles of rosé for 6,500 (6-7 could have eaten with the 5 of us!). Good attention paid to seafood anaphylaxis by one of our party. Outstandingly good food. Lovely service and could hardly walk on way out as a result of consuming so much food.... and wine! Will return.

This place is only highly rated as they ask the customer to rate it there and then. This joint is run of the mill. Nothing special. Food is nice but that's it.There are far better places in the area.Dear Customer.Thank you to visit us and having time to write a review. Your review is more or less spot on."Food is nice but that's it.". Indeed. Our business is to try to provide excellent food with excellent service at a reasonable price. Everything else is fairly ordinary. Prospective customers should not expect to eat a $4 Pad Thai while sitting in designer furniture, enjoying sweeping views, and getting entertained at the same time by a live jazz quartet. The view from our tables and windows is street traffic, a mobile Thai pancake cart, and lots of parked motorbikes. There are much better places in regards to ambience around us, with prices to match.One thing is incorrect - we do ask our customers to rate us, but we don't tell them how to rate. There are absolutely no incentives provided by us for rating and reviewing. Most of today's businesses do the same - the feedback and guidance by the customers is extremely important.

Everything was delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful. No paper menu for food as they go over a blackboard with the current menu with you after you order drinks. Everything was delicious. The crab risotto and mushroom salad might be my ultimate faves but the fried calamari is a crowd pleaser too. The fried fish was also really good. Highly recommend the coconut ice cream for dessert!The owners were so nice and Supattra (the chef) even came over and asked us about our meals. The dinner was so yummy that I came back by myself the next week! The service is really great - definitely up to my NYC standards, which is saying a lot for Thailand!
