This restaurant has great reviews and is highly recommended by locals. It’s located not far from Khon Kaen Airport, making it a perfect spot for a first meal after landing. There’s plenty of parking available, but if you visit during peak dining hours, you might have to wait for a table. The restaurant offers both outdoor seating and an air-conditioned area. The decor is beautiful, with lush greenery and a waterfall that creates a cool, relaxing atmosphere.
As for the food, the flavors are quite mild, making it suitable for people from Bangkok, but it didn’t fully match my taste. The best dish I tried was the grilled fish with herbs. The fish was large, juicy, and tender, served with a flavorful seafood dipping sauce. The most disappointing dish was the crispy catfish salad. While it looked generous, the dish was mostly made up of batter, with very little actual catfish. It felt like eating fried flour with dressing, which made it overly greasy and difficult to finish.
The prices are relatively high, but the portions are generous. The staff is attentive, but during busy hours, service might be a bit slow and inconsistent.
