Samui Thai is usually my go to place when I've got a craving that Thai craving, and they're one of the better restaurants of its kind. With a catchphrase like "If ya gran was Thai, she'd cook like us", this place has already got my vote for humour.
Though I've never eaten in the restaurant and usually pickup takeaway instead, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very calm and intimate. The lights are down low, soft music in the background is accompanied by the sounds of water features, and the overall ambience is very relaxing. The friendly and attentive staff make coming to this place a delight, even if only to make an order and return to pick it up.
The food is relatively inexpensive and is always very quick. The pad thai, though a pretty standard dish in comparison to the vast variety of other Thai dishes, is simply awesome. The masaman curry is also a recommended curry option as, in my opinion, it blows the green curry out of the water. Overall their food is pretty much all greatly satisfying, and there aren't any menu items I wouldn't give a shot. A great but underrated little place! read more
