“ They have fair prices and the food is good. Like another commenter said - try the lime chicken!! It is so delicious, I don’t know what they put in that sauce but daaaamn I keep coming back for it. Good food, freshly made in a big clean kitchen. Haven’t gotten sick at all, their smoothies are also fresh and good. ”
“ Everything was great! Restaurant is small, very nice and clean. A bit outside the main tourist area, Worth visiting. Service is pleasant. Food was authentic, incredibly well presented and super tasty. Clearly the best during our stay at Ko Tao. ”
“ This place is an absolute hidden Gem! Food was some of the best Thai food we have eaten in Thailand. The chef cooked everything from scratch and the food tasted so fresh and delicious. Our personal favourite was the crispy pork with rice. ”
“ We got the Thai basil chicken stir fry and Thai coconut chicken soup. We have no regrets - good is an understatement. ”
“ We dined here 3 times whilst visiting koh Tao. Each time the food was seasoned perfectly, with fresh ingredients, good quality meat and exceptional levels of spice and flavour. I have dined at many Michelin starred/awarded restaurants in the west and The Queen is as deserving of a star as any. We had dined at other starred restaurants in SEA and this restaurant had the best food we had tried. If you are in koh Tao, this is the place to eat. Penang curry and pad kra pao were particularly excellent. ”
“ Probably one of the best food experiences I had travelling the south of Thailand. Everything is cooked simple and fresh. Super friendly staff and they gave us free snacks every time we stopped by. Prices are very affordable considering the portion sizes. Thank you for making my experience in Koh Tao a positive one. ”
“ Possibly the island’s best kept secret!! If you’d like to try authentic Burmese food, this is it! Might not be for you if you don’t like to divert too far from Western food. They also do Thai and Western food, but if you don’t give the Burmese food a chance, you’re missing out on one of the world’s least known culinary delights. ”
“ I had the Tea Leaf Salad (I asked for it vegetarian just in case) and it was SO DELICIOUS crunchy, perfect amount of (mild) spice, huge amount of flavor, and very affordable. The lady was very nice too :) I will definitely come back - the menu is huge! ”
