Friendship Restaurant

Fantastic… a real gem of a place, went back again and again, great service, delicious food and at a fraction of the cost of our Marriott hotel just next door. (Don’t forget to treat the cute doggies, secretly.. shhhhh)

Dining at the family-run seaside shack restaurant was a delightful experience, made even more memorable by the excellent barman, Mr. Jo Jo, and his cocktails. I ordered a whole sea bass, steamed to perfection with light soy sauce, scallions, ginger, coriander, and chili—fresh, tender, and incredibly affordable. The sauce was a flavorful match for fluffy jasmine rice, and the friendly service added to the charm. The seaside setting with beautiful sunsets was picturesque, but a word of caution: bring insect repellent on still days to avoid unwelcome guests. Nonetheless, this minor inconvenience hardly detracts from the overall appeal of this hidden gem by the beach.

If you are on the area here is a place for grey food and Perseco.
We have been several times. The beach is very good, some parking available. Suggest putting the dressing on the side with any salad. Great variety of drinks on hand.

Family owned restaurant with fantastic food. Mr U Jo Jo is making the best drinks. The fishing boat stops once a day and delivers fresh seafood. All the staff are super friendly. Don't forget to get some massage 10m away. Same owner. 100% recommend.

We recently returned from a stay at JW Marriott Khao Lak and had food and drinks here every day. Very good prices and very good quality!! Right on the beach and family run. It was nice to feel that by using this restaurant we were actually helping a local family too. Highly recommend this place.

We had dinner everyday the last week and it was amazing!
The food, the drinks and the owners were absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend going there.
Prices for a main course are around THB 150 amd you'll get everything your thaifood heart desires.
And you can have everything as take-away as well.

The restaurant is located right next to JW Marriott Khao Lak and is under the trees right next to the beach.

Amazing fresh seafood, deliciously sweet drinks, and friendly staff, really just the best around.

I went with my Thai family, and got a massage afterwards, everyone loved it!

Everything was very good. The lobster was excellent as well a real treat. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The price was lower then I expected anyone staying the JW Marriott should go here.

Beautiful Place for a Sundowner 🍸 as the Cocktails are superb 👌🏻…
… and the Service is as well.

Above this the Restaurant offers a large variety of food and all of it is delicious 🤤 for a superfair Price. 👍🏻
They even got Lobster 🦞 and King Prawns.

Come visit Friendship and you’ll have a fantastic time

Lovely beach restaurant with good food and great shakes and cocktails.

For a beach restaurant as simple like this, just amazing. Right on the beach, decent tables and the food is super good.

We had the best spring rolls of our trip here. Also, try the soups or curry with prawns. Black tiger prawns are locally caught in thailand, big and tasty. Family run, so expect a son/daughter to bring your drinks and food

You can have dinner here for a few euros/dollars and it will be better than any food in europe or america hands down!

Wow!
This place was a pleasant surprise, after eating at the JW hotel restaurants which are a bit pricey, finding a spot near by (1 min walk) with fantastic food and drinks with perfect variety for all tastes and ages for a very affordable price.

The service is fast, dishes go out quickly and there is an ice-cream fridge,
Kids can go and relax on the hammock or swing in front of the sea view.
Highly recommended for dinner and lunch.
They accept cash and credit.

Excellent authentic Thai seafood dishes. Not too salty, light and flavorful. Beautiful natural setting right on the beach under the trees, perfect for watching the sunset. Ice cold beer. Great prices. What could be better.

My favorite dishes:
Crab fried, tamarind whole fish, stir fried mushrooms, grilled prawns, papaya salad.

Chill beachside restaurant for lunch/dinner. Good quality food, especially the fried soft shell crab, Panang curry, and Thai roti.

Great little beachside restaurant. Located next to Marriott hotel so useful to pop out and grab some tasty reasonably priced Thai and international food. There’s a small playground for little kids and massage next door.

We stayed 3 days at the JW and ate at this restaurant. Food and drinks we also great quick (we tried many items on the menu) service was effective and friendly and the prices are really affordable

Perfect restaurant close to the JW Marriott, different specialities, nice family who really cares about you and you can really taste it.

Amazing food!! We eat all the Thai dish in the menu it was fresh, and tasty!! highly recommend!!

Right next to JW Marriott. Food, while more than 50% cheaper, is at least the same quality if not better than at the hotel.

Fantastic familiy owned restaurant and bar close to the Mariott, yummy food and outstanding cocktails, thanks for having us, Jo!
