Where to eat Thai food in Koh Tao: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 26, 2019 Veronika Gaddis

Find out what Thai restaurants to try in Koh Tao. Drifting serenely in the Gulf of Thailand, the palm-fringed island of Ko Tao takes its name from the abundant sea turtles that reside on its shores. White sand beaches sheltered by steep hills – some only accessible with four-wheel drive vehicles – and 300 days of sun per year invite long afternoons of lounging.

Babaloo Restaurant

Reviewed By claerra

We had such a lovely time at Babaloo restaurant! Its a charming place with excellent vegetarian/vegan food. The meat substitutes are amazing! The owner sat down with us and we've been chatting with him about the island while eating the delicious food. Located little off the main roads, but lately connected with a good concrete street, its now easy to get there by scooter. We will come back for sure!

แย่ค่ะ.. ร้านนี้ไม่บริการคนไทย​ เราสั่งอาหาร​ตั้งแต่ยังไม่มีลูกค้าในร้านแล้วนั่งรอเกือบชั่วโมงจนลูกค้าเต็มร้าน​ โต๊ะที่มาทีหลังได้อาหารเต็มโต๊ะแล้ว​แต่เรายังไม่ได้.. พอถาม​ ทางร้านแจ้งว่า.. แล้วคุณได้แจ้งมั้ยค่ะว่าจะทานเลย!?! หมายถึงที่สั่งอาหารไปคือให้รอกินพรุ่งนี้หรอ?This​ made me lose all my feelings. For waiting what I had ordered, event they are no any customers in the that time. No service mind

After reading the reviews we thought this place would be mins blowing. One of the dishes we ordered was calamari bbq. It looked liked it was steamed as there was no grill marks and the inside was still slimy (undercooked) we asked them to cook it some more and I’m not sure they understood because it came back almost the same. The seafood red curry was ok but nothing special. I wish we would have tried the fish Instead.

Went with my teenage son who is a noodle fanatic. He thought the food was delicious, I agreed it was tasty but made a mistake having the "big noodles" with my pork - overcooked so flaccid and unpleasant texture. Overall good value just wouldn't eat the same again.

Words cannot describe the quality of the food at this establishment. We came back especially for the green curry which was the best we have ever had in our lives. The owner is very friendly and personable and her passion for making people happy is reflected in her dishes. The restaurant has a very homey feel and the owner is exceptional at Thai cuisine. If you are a foodie and love Thai cuisine it does not get any more authentic than home cooked meals from Poy!

995 Duck

Reviewed By AliceW1234

I'd heard about this place from several sources before I gave it a go, and I have to say it was one of those places that is just as good as people say it is. The duck is superb and comes in a variety of ways with different flavours and levels of spice. It's also super good value and conveniently located in Sairee village.

Reviewed By Terry B

Ok... I have only been on the island for one day but I think I lucked out last night and found the cheapest beer on the Island. Large cold Chang for only 70 Bhat! The savings on three beer paid for my Pad Thai which I have to say was pretty good as well! The place is not so busy yet as it is fairly new and across the street from the side most people walk on but I think it will only get busier. Nice layout with sturdy chairs and tables.. Free self serve water which means you walk to the cooler. Fairly diverse menu mainly featuring Thai dishes. I was there early so the mosquitpes were out. They started a mosquito coil and placed it beside my table to help out. Had a good talk with Mr Nice about the restaurant and his family. He offered to let me come each day and use their wi-fi if the signal at the resort i am staying at was not strong.. 9 not required). All in all a nice pleasant evening with good food and cheap beer !Thank you for giving us a chance.And hope that next time we can serve you again next time.
