Sareefah Seafood - Phru Nai

Food was good. Largest portions I have gotten on the island. Service is a bit aloof. Your enthusiastically welcomed until you sit, and once you order that’s all over, until it was time to pay the bill. Lol Felt like an outsider here. Whereas everywhere else I have eaten, super welcoming. The island overall has been really friendly. Will I return to this restaurant? No. But they have had some bad reviews and I think it’s a fair four stars based on the food.

Very pleasent atmosphere, clean and a variety of options to dink and to eat. We had one of the best Ice coffee from our holiday and the Fruit snakes were lovely. Thanks and we recommend this place.

Sareefa is just Ok, but nothing more. The food was more expensive then elsewhere and not up to Thai food standards more like fast food. The grilled prawns, all 5 of them, were served with some carrots, one leaf of salad and no spices or sauce. So far below expectations. You can’t get wine but they do serve the local Chang beer. The ‘interior’ (you sit outside like everywhere : is Ok with the cosy cabins for each table, but with fake flowers and one unattractive toilet again below standard. Even the napkins turn out to be toilet paper coming out of something resembling a baby poop pot. Serving food can be done better as one of us could only start eating when all others had finished. My advice is to look for better restaurants with a more authentic kitchen.

We have come to Yao Yai 3 times and we always rent motorbikes and come here to eat. The food is excellent and the family that owns the restaurant are super nice and we always greeted with a smile. I highly recommend!!! The chicken stir fry and red penang curry and papaya salad are a few of my favorites!

Despite of those negative Feedbacks, we were satisfied in general. We were a group of 7 and anchored with a sailboat in front of the town pier. Google Maps showed 5 restaurants near the pier, but noone was open for dinner. We walked 1.5 km to the Elixir Resort, but found this one on our way. We all had good food and 2-3 drinks (beer and shakes and finally paid 470 TB (13 € per person, fair! Only one negative thing: shrimps in Tempura were with shell and head ... doesn't really make sense. All in all: It was good, delicious and reasonably priced, friendly team!
