Not cheap but nothing cheap in this island. Stuff is very friendly and kindly, service is not slow. but sometimes inside is very crowdy. I am not an gourmet but the foods are cooked well and tasty and I like Thai foods. Located in a very peaceful garden. I can easily suggest to all my friends and I hope there... More

Staff is from Laos. Food was not as spicy as Thai people make it. They seemed under-staffed when we went there on a Tuesday night, so we had to wait a while for things. Friendly staff and the food is good, but could use more of a kick.

i often crave for a BIG salad when i travel, and that's usually difficult to obtain in most resturants. But if you order a green papaya salad, you (I) will be satisfied. By the way, the salad is yummy!

We arrived about 7:00 on a Saturday and the place was pretty full. The one waiter was very busy, but greeted us immediately and sat us quickly. It took a bit to take our order, but it was served quickly. We got the Garlic Vegetables and Mahi Mahi Curry. Both were excellent and quite reasonably priced.

Excellent ambiance - felt very southeast Asian. But food pretty ordinary. Since our expectations were very high, we were disappointed. Might go back, but would try elsewhere first.

Had a nice dinner here on a quiet weeknight (total of four guests), food was very good, the outside (covered) seating is very nice and rather unexpected when walking up to the restaurant.

We ate at Saeng's years ago and were looking forward to some spicy, tasty Thai food. It was on a Sunday evening and there was only one person to greet, take orders, serve and clear tables. The food was prompt, but over-sized tasteless portions and we were surrounded by several uncleared tables throughout our time there. Altogether a very disappointing... More

Set in a beautiful court yard, this Thai Restaurant is mostly visited by locals. The food in this inexpensive restaurant was great. I would make it my favorite on the island.

There was an awesome selection although I ordered the pad thai which was great too! My portion left me full and the quality was pretty good. The restaurant was in a garden like place under a roof which was pretty. I would most certainly eat there again!!
