Baan Ya Jai

The food was great. We have been there 2 times. Try a different dishes like: fried pork, som tam, green mango salat spring roll and yellow curry - all dishes has been great.
Thanks for a good experience…

Great best authentic Thai food in Chaweng. The meals are freshly prepared and taste awesome. Additionally to the Papaya salad, chicken mince with basil and the green curry we had a delicious mango sticky rice with coconut icecream… I could die for it… you must visit this place.

Baan ya Jai is an exceptional restaurant that offers the most tantalizing and genuine Thai cuisine, which we absolutely adored. Their fried rice, curry, pad Thai, deep-fried shrimp/squid, and tamarind sauce are absolutely irresistible. The customer service provided is top-notch, ensuring a memorable dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Baan ya Jai for anyone seeking a remarkable culinary adventure.

We tried their green curry, yellow curry, and shrimp fried rice - all bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Exactly what we were craving for authentic Thai cuisine.

We just had perfect dinner in this small restaurant. It's not straight in the street so helps a little bit with noise. Staff made sure we liked our food and were very respectful. I had stir fried red curry with beans and chicken, absolutely amazing dish. You can also choose easily how spicy you like your food!

Great spot for slightly touristy Thai food. (Most on Koh Samui is so anyway 😉). The curries were excellent - especially the panang curry was good, along with the fried spring rolls. Quick and friendly service

This is the first restaurant I went to on my first day and I was not disappointed. The food is so fresh and fantastic and the concept is nice that the chef is local and makes her food with fresh ingredients only. You can choose the level of spiciness on any dish which is fantastic. The Staff are friendly. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious Thai food! Lovely staff and did I mention the food was absolutely delicious!

Food was best so far on my Thailand trip! Amazing Tom Kha Gai soup. Staff was amazing also!

Delicious food, great service, nice setting. The staff were wonderful and took very good care of us.

The best Thai food whilst in Chewang! Great service and very reasonably priced!

Really delicious! As starter we ordered spring roles. They were reeeeeeealy delectable. My husband ordered rice with chicken sauce Thai spicy style - he is an advanced spicy eater - it was pretty spicy but even I could handle it and I really don't like spicy that much. I ordered fried rice with basil and chicken and it was AMAZING!

We can recommend this restaurant! 👌

Authentic thai food, super delicious and most importantly clean and fresh ingredients.
My kid absolutely loved her shrimp spring rolls and pineapple fried rice that has the right amount of sweetness from the fresh pineapple.

Recommended by ReThaired Working for you, if you know you know. Amazing. Had to wait for a table but only about 30 minutes, they employ a list system to keep order. You can go and get a drink elsewhere whilst waiting but we waited until our table was ready. Had a drink whilst we waited. Chang is good the wife prefers this, my choice is a Leo bit Chang did the job. Now the food A MAZ ING, Phenomenal, excellent. So tasty. If in this part of Sumui it's a must visit. Staff very attentive and friendly. Once again this place is amazing.
UPDATE
Came back again in 2023 and it's still just as good as our first visit. Excellent 👌👍

We came here twice on our vacation because we just couldn't help it. Everything was super fresh and flavorful, but you MUST order the massaman curry and a mango or papaya salad. The location is also so convenient if you're staying in Chaweng. The desserts look amazing, but sadly we were too full 😢

I've been there twice (and plan to go again) with my friends, they ACE every meal we tried, go there and you will understand why it's always full.
Amazing experience and lovely staff, you may have to call and book or wait a bit.

Amazing local cuisine. Service was top notch and the food was brilliant however the South Indian palate could take more spice in the food. I would say their “spicy” is equivalent to “less spicy” for us. All the dishes we had were wonderful both in quality and quantity. On a lighter note, they could have saved the decorative orchid for the others I guess. Would definitely recommend this place for some authentic Thai culinary experience in Samui

friendly staff, get you a seat real fast even though the line pretty long 👍🏻 just put your name & number of guests

easy to find location

food is good, the shrimps with tamarind sauce has a bit much MSG, still really tasty. highly recommend tom yum goong fried rice & pad thai with chicken, papaya salad with shrimps very tasty as well, shrimps and meat are all very fresh

food comes out pretty fast, despite the busyness

portion pretty big, us 2 finished 4 dishes and satisfied with the meal perfectly

Excellent food and service, lovely people that are very welcoming.
Everything tasted amazing.

Cosy restaurant with a great atmosphere.

Ate here twice during our week in Koh Samui. Food was extremely delicious, prawn and broccoli stir fry was a favourite but not a single dish we had was a disappointment.

Staff were friendly, spoke reasonable English and the restaurant itself was clean and welcoming.

Was quite consistently busy during the evening, however worst case it appeared to only be a short queue. Worth noting there’s an upstairs dining area, so if it looks busy inside there could still be space.
