A famous Thai restaurant in Ao Nang Beach. It is said that the chef used to cook in a five-star hotel, so the Thai food he cooks is very authentic. The Tom Yum Goong and Thai vermicelli are indeed very good, but a little spicy.

A famous Thai restaurant in Ao Nang Beach. It is said that the chef used to cook in a five-star hotel, so the Thai food he cooks is very authentic. The Tom Yum Goong and Thai vermicelli are indeed very good, but a little spicy.
I always feel that the name of the restaurant is similar to the pronunciation of Tom Yum Goong soup, but no matter what, the overall environment of the restaurant is good, the traditional decoration is very simple, the food tastes very good, the red curry and the minced pork are very spicy
Fantastic food Have just eaten at this homely family style restaurant. Staff are superb and there are a few unusual Thai dishes to try So much nicer than the hustle and bustle of the beach area Would recommend to everyone to
A female chef who used to work in a five-star hotel resolutely gave up her promising career with a high salary and opened a small restaurant next to her home, thinking that she would only serve the neighbors nearby. Unexpectedly, ten years later, it became one of the best Thai restaurants in Ao Nang, Krabi. The female chef, who is now in her seventies, can be said to have dedicated her life to food. Ton Ma Yom means gooseberry tree, and the tree is in front of the store. The restaurant is located in a small village in Ao Nang. There is no conspicuous signboard, let alone luxurious decoration, but it is packed every night. The current owner is the son of the female chef. He also said that it is better for customers to make a reservation in advance, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee a seat. The Tom Yum soup here can be said to be one of the best Tom Yum soups in Krabi. The three most important elements of sweetness, sourness and spiciness are well controlled, and the ratio of milk to water is also very balanced. The lemon steamed fish uses 400-500 grams of blackhead fish. I must recommend their dry Tom Yum fried tiger prawns, which is very suitable for rice. The sauce is slightly thicker than Tom Yum Goong soup, and the shrimp heads are fried crispy. The mango sticky rice here is made with organic black glutinous rice produced in southern Thailand, which is different from the ordinary white glutinous rice used in most restaurants.
I found a popular restaurant on the internet and trudged for two kilometers. I finally found it in a dark alley according to the GPS and netizens' records. It was a very small restaurant with eight or nine crowded tables. It could accommodate at most twenty people. All of them were full. It was just after eight o'clock. All of them were foreigners, and the reserved time slot was full. The tables had to be turned over several times a night. I was sad that I was not received when I ran there at the last minute. Later, I had to apply for take-out and waited for 30 minutes. It was raining heavily outside, but the old customers did not leave and new people came. It was crowded. Later, the rain slowed down, and the previous batch of customers all left, and only half of the new seats came. It was already nine o'clock, and the take-out was ready. I discussed with the owner whether there were so many empty tables and whether we could change to dine-in. The male clerk hesitated, but the female owner still disagreed, saying that it was booked. It rained heavily for half an hour and closed at 9:30. Who would come at 9 o'clock, especially when there were still three or four empty tables. I don't know if they were really rigid or just didn't want to bother anymore. I was really disappointed when I went out in the rain with my takeaway at 9 o'clock. To be honest, the food tasted pretty good, not that amazing. The price was indeed cheaper than the ones on the streets of Ao Nang Beach, but the environment was very ordinary. If you live nearby, you can make an appointment, but if you live far away, I don't recommend you to make time to come here.
On the main street of Oran Beach, I saw a big mosque building. On the right side of the alley, the store is not big and there are many foreign customers. The dishes are authentic. I recommend the curry series. The lemon fish is very good. The pineapple fried rice is a big portion. It's average.
This restaurant has a great environment, right next to the hotel where we stayed. We compared it with many other restaurants around, and the prices were similar. The seafood and food here are good, and the boss gave us a fried squid at the end, which was very good.
