"Krua Chao Baan means local kitchen, which aptly describes the vibe of this eatery specialised in Southern Thai food. The signature omelette is simple: crispy, not oily, with mixed seafood and well-seasoned minced pork. The stir-fried squid with pineapple, a local recipe only found on the island, is depicted by joyful sweet, sour and peppery notes." - Michelin Inspector

How to find your own paradise on Koh Samui - SilverKris

"An old-school institution serving authentic southern Thai home-style dishes, known for comfort seafood plates and a standout signature seafood omelette that reflects the island's traditional flavours." - Craig Sauers

The best part was the view. The food, however, was disappointing. The signature omelette is purely riding the hype train but actually a rather poor version compared to many others. The signature salad was good, honestly. Unfortunately the crab with curry powder had a piece of steel wool (from a metal sponge?) in it, and the sour curry was full of larger and smaller fish bones. The steamed curry fish cakes were very dense, by far not as fluffy and not remotely as tasty as others do on the island. The Pad Thai - I don't really know where to start - it wasn't good at all. I won't be back.

The signature Michelin guide on fish is a bit sweet and less spicy, may be not tasty for local Thai people from my opinion. View is nice next to the beach.

A charming Thai Restaurant with beautiful view 🤩 The service was great, the food - delicious. Perfect place to relax and gaze at the sea. And I loved the espresso 🙏

Great location with great view and service. The food is quite good but did not exactly meet my Michelin Guide expectation. Overall had a good dinner.

Great crab meat fried rice! Highly recommend to come give this place a try to enjoy the view and the good food. The watermelon juice wss overly sweet though, and the michelin star egg dish was a little too overwhelming.

If you are new to Thailand, you can come here for “Michelin” recommended. If you are familiar with Thai food, there will be some surprises waiting for you to explore.

The staff was friendly and the food was good. If you order spicy, be ready, it really is spicy! If you’re not sure, better go with “not spicy” and add the heat yourself. You’ll usually get fresh chilies on the side, or just ask for them. The view is absolutely stunning! Perfect spot to snap a few nice photos, with or without the swing. Even though the restaurant was pretty busy, the food came out quickly. It’s right by the road, with a beautiful view of the sea.

Not sure why this place got a Michelin guide recommendation. Every dish is about the same anywhere else. Presentation was normal. Service was as expected. Ordered quite a bit so we had a pretty wide selection. Spent about 5k baht, pretty reasonable for a "Michelin" guide restaurant. At any rate....would i come back? Nope.
