This list comes from our live menu. The prices are current.
Thai side
- Tom yum goong — 190 The dish visitors order most. Tell the staff your heat level.
- Pad thai goong 190 / pad thai gai 160 The safe pick if you do not eat chilli.
- Pad krapow gai — 190 Good alongside a prawn omelette at 160.
- Som tam thai — 120 One of the cheapest starters we do.
- Crab fried rice — 220 Simple, and a fair test of any kitchen.
European side
- Margherita pizza — 250 The cheapest pizza we make and the clearest test of a dough.
- Carbonara — 360 The most ordered of our 17 pastas.
- Wagyu burger with cheese — 360 Where wagyu burgers start; the sautéed mushroom version is 450.
- Fresh oysters — 270 Samui sits near good oyster grounds, so this costs less here than in a big city.
Most-ordered dessert
- Espresso tiramisu — 290 Our lightest-priced dessert, level with the strawberry-lemon cheesecake.
Rice is charged separately
Jasmine rice is 40 baht — the cheapest single item across all 228 dishes.
<!--expanded-->Two people wanting both sides: order one Thai dish and one pasta or pizza, then share. That covers both for roughly 500–600 baht.

Same dish, different price — what changes
Several dishes come with a choice of chicken or prawn, and the gap is 20–30 baht.
- Pad thai: chicken 160 / prawn 190
- Fried rice: chicken 160 / prawn 180 / crab 220 / pineapple seafood 220
- Rad na: chicken 170 / seafood 190
- Massaman: chicken 190 / beef 220
On a first visit, the chicken version costs less and the difference in flavour is smaller than the price gap suggests.
What Thai guests order versus what travellers order
Travellers tend to pick pad thai, tom yum goong, green curry and cashew chicken — the names they already know from home.
Thai guests tend to pick pad krapow, pad kana moo krob, pad pak boong, squid with chilli jam and som tam — the dishes you can eat any day without tiring of them.
Both groups order jasmine rice at 40, because nearly every stir-fry and curry needs rice under it.
How much to order
A rough rule for Thai food shared around the table: one main per person, plus one or two starters for the table, plus a rice each.
A table of four: 2 starters + 4 mains + 4 rice. That lands right, with nothing wasted.
