Restaurant in the new Centara Hotel Khon Kaen. Serves International & Asian food. Indoor seating. Food was good but the international choice was very limited and they did not serve desserts yet. Nice restaurant in 4 to 6 months when the hotel & restaurant

Food at the Globe was great. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and many choices. They will prepare eggs/omlettes to order. Nice, fresh fruit. I stayed a week and enjoyed everything. Staff was wonderful, especially Biew, Kaow, Nun and JR. Always friendly, smiling and attentive.

The Wok and Grill offers a seafood buffet at the Avani Hotel. There is a decent selection of fresh seafood, with large prawns, squids, oysters,..etc. There is also hotdogs, beef, pork and chicken pieces available for grilling. There is Chinese-styled BBQ area with roasted duck and BBQ pork and a Thai section with a few curries and salads. I would've given this place a higher rating if it wasn't for the relatively high price per person. Even at this price, the drinks were extra, even for water.

Reviewed By vajranetr

เป็น Restaurant and Pub ที่มี Character ค่อนข้างจะคล้ายๆกัน ในขอนแก่น(หรือทั่วประเทศ) อาคารมีโทนสีดำ มีทั้ง Outdoor, Indoor ปรับอากาศ ซึ่งที่นี่ออกจะกว้างขวาง ไม่ต่ำกว่า 40 ที่นั่งมี Wine Cellar เป็นเรื่องเป็นราว (อาจจะ)ปรับอากาศ 24 ชม.ทุกๆอย่าง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นบรรยากาศ Friendly Staff เมนูและรสชาติก็ใช้ได้เหมือนๆกับที่อื่นๆ รวมทั้ง Live Music ด้วย Wine 22 ตั้งอยู่ในทำเลที่ดี มี Approach ที่น่าสนใจชอบใจห้องน้ำ..เนี้ยบระดับโรงแรม

MK Restaurant - Com Center

Reviewed By 100garethe

MK Restaurant's are everywhere in Thailand and this one is no exception. You always know your going to get a good feed here at a reasonable price. It's not 5 star and priced accordingly. MK's should not disappoint anyone who trend to banquet type food and it's healthier than the traditional western fast food. Good and friendly service. The big thumbs up from me

Near the university, this delightful little restaurant apparently does lots of lunch time business from the university. We had just arrived in Khon Kaen so a friend took us here for a quick dinner. It far exceeds the expectations of a quick little eatery. The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful.

Smile @ Waterside

Reviewed By Charlie B

My Thai Partner and I stay in Khon Kaen at least six times each year for a few days. We visited The Smile Restaurant for the first time this week on the recommendation of our hotel and we were not disappointed.The setting by the large lake is beautiful and there is a large choice of inside, air-conditioned, areas and open, outside places to eat.WE visited at a very quiet time of the day in mid afternoon and the initial service was excellent with a fine choice of food on the menu and some really excellent 'Draft' Singha Beer.We chose various dishes and the Fried Chicken and Cashew Nuts,(see photo), was outstanding. Also some delicious Shrimp Spring Rolls and a Green Curry with Crab Meat dish for my Partner. It was all just perfect... very fresh and very tasty.The initial service was brilliant but suddenly when we were close to finishing our main courses the service seemed to stop and I had to call for a waitress to ask for some Deserts, Coffee and maybe another drink. This was produced... slowly, and even then they did not clear away any of the dishes from the main course. I asked them if they were trying to close as the place was very quiet but they said 'Oh no, it is just a quiet period before the evening, and yet there were plenty of waitresses hanging around.I eventually had to ask them to clear away all the old plates etc.I don't know what was going on but it spoilt, in some ways, a really excellent experience.I am hoping that it was just 'One of those days' and we will go back as it could be perfect!!
