Kawin's Kitchen

Allround amazing restaurant, the food, service, it's all amazing. They put a fun twist on traditional Thai food. Portion sizes are good and everything is kept very clean.
There's something to be found for everyone.

Really attentive and friendly service and absolutely flavourful, delicious food!

The chicken satay is super yummy, the morning glory is so fresh and perfectly cooked (great flavour!), and we loved the yellow curry with duck (thanks to the previous review recommending this!). They have 5 spice levels and we asked for less spicy which was perfect for us.

Yummy smoothies too :) wish we had a longer stay to eat more!

Cash only!

Delicious food with a very friendly service. We primarily chose this restaurant due to its good reviews and a previous review that mentioned they were able to cater for gluten-free diets. We travelled with a friend with Coeliac Disease and this was one of the few restaurants in Thailand that was able to cater for her dietary requirement. It is also possible to customise the spiciness level of all the dishes. Our food was very tasty and we ate here twice during our time on Koh Samui. We would recommend this restaurant!

Very delicious - some of the best Thai food we had in Koh Samui. Friendly service in a modern restaurant. (Although at one point, the staff seemed overwhelmed with their popularity = some waiting for food). We were there a few times and tried different things. Favorites were spring rolls, their curries, and mango sticky rice! It was quite popular in the evening, so make a reservation to be sure to get a table at nights

That curry is thick and intensely flavourful ... still thinking about it after leaving Samui. Ordered the Panang curry with seafood (mussels, tiny shrimp and the tenderest fish) -- in level 4 spiciness which was very very very hot. Delicious. Full seating towards 8pm so could consider booking.

We first found this by chance, when it was still in the old location, and it has immediately become our favorite! This year we have come back to the new location, the food is still excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Every dish we tried was amazing, absolutely recommend!

We visited here for my sister's birthday and had a wonderful meal. All the food was delicious. My family members were surprised at how incredible the Khao Soi was. They said it matched the best they've tried in Chiang Mai. I had the pineapple tofu fried rice, which was also delicious. When we told them it was my sister's birthday, they brought out a dessert with a candle – such a lovely touch. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Absolutely fantastic. Was one of my best dishes I had on my stay on samui. The service was very attentive and nice. The ambience was absolutely beautiful and the food was a great taste explosion for us. So delicious. A must on any trip to Samui.

Amazing restaurant with great food.

Ate here with some friends and I must say, everything about the place was perfect.
The staff are lovely and very attentive.

The food was so good and tasty. Good vegan options too.
The main woman who I think was the manager was very helpful and told us if we didn’t like any of the food they could change it for us. Thankfully all the food was great!

Definitely recommend this place.

Amazing food. Price in a higher level compared to other restaurants with as good food, but if you want a more premium experience this is the place! :)

The best restaurant during our 16 days in Samui and Phangan (and we tried many). We went here twice and wish we had time for more. Both times we did not have table reservation. We therefore started with a drink at the bar before a table was available. We found this to be a great way to start the dining experience enjoying the nice atmosphere and beautiful interior. We tried the pad thai, red chicken curry and chicken cashew. All really tasteful and delicately presented. The pad thai however was our favourite. Kawin’s Kitchen is a gem and a nice contribution to Lamai’s growing number of top notch restaurants.

We've had a great experience at Kawin's Kitchen with great recommendations. We had the spring rolls with shrimp for starters then a chicken Pad Thai and a beef Pad see ew, both very flavourful and delicious. We'll definitely come back to try out some more of the menu as everything sounded delicious.

Very happy of choosing this restaurant! Great food and very nice service, i cannot confirm the negative reviews on Google - you should never weight prices for good quality food. A good choice for everyone looking for very good thai food! All the best!

Tasty, authentic food. Nice and calm atmosphere. Nice for families too since they don't mind children or baby's. I had Som Tam for the first time and i wasn't disappointed at all. At level 3 spiciness i was just able to finish my meal without too many tears and sweats. A few days later i had the Tom Yum, very authentic, freshly made, perfectly balanced. I would definately go back!

Excellent food and lovely restaurant. Arrived for a late dinner and service was great. Comfortable restaurant and great setting.
Ordered the Vietnamese rolls to start with a massaman curry and glass noodle salad for main and all dishes had great flavour and perfect spice as requested.

Definitely recommend!

Back on Koh Samui and popped into Kawin’s Kitchen new spot, and wow. On the main road, great decor and always great service. The Vegan menu has grown, and can’t wait to try more. Started off with these 2 dishes and some fresh juice. Awesome spot.

Best food we’ve had so far in Thailand, staff really friendly, nicely decorated and the price is so cheap for what you get! Honestly couldn’t recommend enough

Saw the high ratings for this place and wanted to give it a try. First thing I noticed about the menu is that they are not cheap.
We ordered their Garlic & pepper fried pork,
Park see ew with slow cooked beef, Fried tofu with basil leaf appetiser, Tom Yum Chicken, and mango sticky rice.
Our verdict... food quality is very good. Service and presentation is also good. I believe that they position themselves as Thai fine dining. So the prices are reasonable from that perspective.

Kawin's Kitchen in Koh Samui exceeded all expectations! From the first bite to the last, every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in both taste and aesthetics truly made our dining experience unforgettable. I cannot recommend Kawin's Kitchen highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary adventure in Koh Samui.

Food is great and comes out in good timing too!

The Stay Kai chicken starter was out of this world good! However it does stain so be careful haha.

Definitely the Southern Style Pad Thai is a must try! I had the Seafood and my partner had the Chicken. Both really great choices.

Too bad the restaurant was empty at the time we went!
