Lychee

Cool place to hangout, nicely lit and cozy, welcoming vibe. Food super mid and too expensive for what it is. Same story with the cocktail I tried. Perhaps the others are better. I really wanted to like this place. Given the price point I expected the flavours to blow me away but sadly I could make it better at home :-(

This is a Thai fusion restaurant which is great!! We are in Mexico!! The food was delicious, this time we were there on sushi night, large group of people, they quickly gave us a table and served the food. Music was good and in a perfect volume. The wasabi cheesecake was TOP ✨✨

Highly recommend their house lemonade (mint with ginger) and the Pad See Ew. The little jalapeños in the pad see ew have a nice kick so be careful as it’ll get spicy quick when taking a bite with a jalapeño in it.

Really and truly awesome! Went on a bustling Friday night, shared a communal table, watched the local dogs nap on the floor and had some of the best service around! Green papaya salad was correctly made and delicious, the raw fish appetizer and the special of an absolutely perfectly grilled tuna steak were fantastic! The quality of the fish was simply excellent. Dessert was also lovely. Even asked for off menu cocktails, mezcal tonics, and they executed them flawlessly! Go and tip well!

Beautiful restaurant and good service. We ordered Thai dishes but the taste wasn't exactly Thai. It was more like Thai fusion. I'm specifically talking about the Papaya Salad, Pad See Ewe and the Green Chicken Curry. It wasn't bad but we were expecting more Thai flavors. I wouldn't recommend the specialty water, it was too thick to drink and ended up getting warm fast. We sat on the floor seating but there were tables and seating around the cooking area.

Great space, lovely vibe. Food is nothing to write home about but solid! Welcome relief from the onslaught of tacos and raw fish.

Great restaurant with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and the ambiance was inviting. However, prices were a bit high. Worth a visit if you don’t mind spending a little extra!

Nothing tastes quite like original Thai food here but it was all pretty good nonetheless. The flavors were off in the pad see ew and pad Thai, if you’re looking for complete authenticity you won’t find it but we cleaned our plates and remarked that it was still really good. The only thing we couldn’t get down was the green curry!! It tasted like someone unloaded an enyire bottle of cumin it, cumin!?The liquados/juices were very good and mostly we just loved the atmosphere and the space. The service was very good as well.

This is moi fave Thai food restaurant on the planet. It's an outdoor restaurant with very cool tiki vibes, chill music, set in a natural candlelight setting that's very romantic & super sexy. All the furnishings are made out of drift woods, locally sourced stone & mango trees from the jungle etc., It's right on the beach, you can hear the waves from your table. The ambiance is like being on an tropical island on another planet where savagery takes place, but only in the kitchen. haha. Everything is made fresh to order, locally sourced. The sushi & sashimi is super fresh locally sourced, artfully crafted. This place is so amazeballs, words do not do it justice. It's something you just have to experience. Bucket List worthy.

Great curry options, attentive service and lovely ambience! I recommend the green chicken curry. Spring rolls were not bad but not the best

After checking out all the restaurants in La Punta, we decided to try something different and chose this Thai place. The vibe was really cool and happening, although I didn't like that people were smoking at the communal tables we were sitting at. We shared the papaya salad, Thai fish carpaccio, pad Thai with shrimp, sealed sashimi, and a chicken dish. We also got a few agua frescas and cocktails as well. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought out before our dishes arrived. The salsa was very tasty! I liked every single dish I tried. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The drinks were interesting as well.

Lychee was definitely a place I had to stop and make a visit to while in Puerto Escondido. The decor is very eye catching and their drinks were very good ! Our server was friendly and recommended great drinks! The vibe is chill, I will be back.

For me, dining out has to be a well-rounded experience. You can't have good food but poor sitting accommodations. I understand this place is all trendy and relaxed, but forcing your customers to either sit on the floor, share a table with strangers (COVID), or eat at the bar (facing smoke and the cooks' tantrums), end up destroying the moment. Nevertheless, the food is decent, the Pad Thai salty but with without the typical spicy heat so characteristic of Thai food. The drinks are great too. For what is worth, this is not a cheap place.

Atmosphere is cool, drinks look amazing thats why I'm giving it the 2 stars. Food taste blah, drinks taste blah, and overpriced for such blah experience.

Lychee is one of the more popular restaurants in town and while the atmosphere is amazing (which is honestly the case in all the La Punta restaurants), the food didn't really live up to expectations. The menu was fairly small but still had solid options including vegan and pescatarian selections. I had the tuna sashimi which was really tasty. For my main dish, I ordered the chicken pad thai which unfortunately fell short. All the ingredients were fine but something was missing. I think it was the sauce/seasoning. It lacked the distinctive pad thai flavor and left the dish very lackluster. My friends had similar experiences with their noodle dishes. When it comes to Thai food, the flavor is key so I hope they can adjust their recipes.

Extremely mid. Nothing special. Just typing more words now to fit yelps text limit criteria.

Cool atmosphere, and great service. The food however is horrible, does not even taste like Thai food.

Mejor lugar de puerto. Buen servicio, buena comida, buen ambiente. Fui 3 veces en todo mi viaje de lo bueno que estaba

El pescado del día con mango y chile habanero está muy bueno. La decoración del lugar esta muy bonita. Puntos a mejorar: mesas compartidas y la propina no la puedes pagar con tarjeta

We went last night the vibes at this place are off the chart . The food was amazing , Pad Thai and Green Curry. The carpaccio was so great

Got there at 9:00, they open at 5:00 and it was already full. Told us to wait 30 mins and come back, we came back exactly at the time and they had given our table to someone else. We went there for the pad thai, that was the only thing they didn't have. They ran out of noodles. The tablea are shared. They only have a few options to eat. Terrible service. Food was ok but we really went there for the pad thai. Disappointing.

This place was great, cocktails were on point and the food came out pretty quick. The atmosphere is awesome and the floor seating on the side keeps that Thai authentic feeling!

If you're tired of the same ol authentic food and want a night out with friends to a place with a good vibe then head over to Lychee at La Punta for dinner. It's a mostly open air restaurant with good quick service (but they do get very busy), nice cocktails, good cuisine, and large communal tables. Definitely give this one a try!

This place is AWESOME. They serve amazing thai food, really good for those that are over tourist food and just want a plate of damn good food. Sriracha? They have it. The staff works really hard with great attention to detail - sit by the kitchen to watch the action!
