Visited again for New Year's Eve dinner, as usual the staff make you welcome from the beginning and our front of house man was "WOODY".
He's always a pleasure to see and we always share jokes and pull each other's leg.
Patrick the owner with his wife Ponchan the chef always say hello.
You may have read many reviews about the food being good, well we think it's superb !!.
It is a little way off the beaten track but I promise you it's worth a try !!!.
Say hello from Les & Gillian (we have a house close by).
Hope you try it !!!

This is a simple, down to earth, and unpretentious venue that serves excellent and inexpensive Issan dishes. The menu is refreshingly different from the run-of- the-mill eateries in Sakon Nahon. It is my second choice when entertaining visitors..........the first being my own kitchen!!!!!

What a great choice for tasty coffee and cake!
This shop is hidden behind buildings in one of a quiet streets of the city. To get there, you need your own vehicle. But it's always worth visiting, not only a cosy but lovely English garden they have, cakes and coffee are also highly recommended.
The baker is a specialist as I've heard so the ingredients, decoration and of course the taste of all the cakes are second to none.
If you look for a nice place for coffee, tea or even juice, and yummy cakes, you shouldn't miss this place when you visit Sakon Nakhon.

Bakery and coffee shop in gorgeous new French-Vietnamese colonial style building with refreshing surrounding Gardens.
Reviewed By eMark40 - Huddersfield
I have visited this coffee shop several times now. It has a lovely secluded garden to sit in.
The service is always very friendly and they serve a great cappuccino. At only 35 baht you can't go wrong.
There is also a selection of cakes available. The cakes are definitely skewed towards the Thai palate, but not bad to western tastes as well.
I would definitely recommend a visit if you ate in the area.

APPLES IS WELL KNOWN FOR ITS STEAKS... We use Thai French Beef only and Jom carefully carves each one before aging them . Days later Jom marinates the steaks with her secret marinate. It is a great experience for her and she loves the " wow's " from her dinner customers. Now available ON LINE too and ready for your BBQ or " Hot " Skillet (Vacuum packed and shipped frozen, Includes fresh peppers

This is very much a family run business that is more focused on quality food than profit because they simply couldn't make a profit at the very reasonable pricing. The restaurant is very casual, very informal and serves both Western and Thai popular dishes ranging from Pizza and Taco style through to Thai spicy things I have no idea what they are called but the wife likes them a lot!! Alcohol is available but this is not trying to be a bar, it's just good to have a beer or a wine with your meal sometimes. The owner is a retired baker but still bakes all the breads and pies fresh every day. Frozen pies and Pizzas are available to take away too for those living outside of the city as I do. We have visited only in the daytime for lunch but every time it has been great food served by very pleasant staff which is why we keep going back.

We visited some friends in Sakon Nakhon and they took us out to lunch in their favourite local restaurant. The cuisine is predominantly Thai with a nod towards other Asian dishes. The restaurant is situated on one of the main streets and has an ample car park behind.
There was the added bonus of being able to also buy fresh baked bread and cakes. Green Corner have other shops that are supplied from the main location which also house the bakery.

We planed to try food in this restaurant because apparently it is a famous restaurant selling khan kriab park moh which is ordinated from Vietnam food. it has been in Thai cuisine culture for long time so it's taste and recipes has been adapted to thai taste. The restaurant is located in the back streets we hardly find it, however we manage to get to the restaurant. It is simple but clean restaurant where the food is prepared and display at the front quarter of restaurant, there are plenty choices of Pak moh food to pick and it tasted good. However we can not say the service is good, as we wait at least 1 hours for our order, the chef was busy make and prepare food for the one who order the food for take home.. We manage to get food anyway , I thinks because they get enough customers and be sure about their business so the lack of customer attention is so low.
Anyway if you go to Sakon Nakhon, this kind of food is a must eat.. Healthy and fresh..
