Outstanding food. Not a big menu but certainly plenty of choice. Select your spice level. Wide noodles were delicious. Others had Tom Yum (chicken & pork) which were excellent. A few metres off the main street but very popular.

A fantastic little restaurant in Samui, the best thing being that you can choose your spice levels from a smaller but still extensive menu. Great service from lovely people too.

In three separate trips to Koh Samui, Baan Ya Jai has become my ‘go to’ restaurant for consistently outstanding food and wonderful service. The food has never let me down in my 8 to 10 visits. Fresh, tasty, innovative Thai at a very reasonable price...point. The staff are wonderful - always smiling, willing to share a conversation and a joke. As a solo traveller, their contribution to each night was very much appreciated. A special shout out to the Myanmar crew - love your cheery attitude and helpful advice. In short, my favourite restaurant in Koh Samui…by a distance!More

We loved this place so much! We went here 4 nights in a row as the food was so awesome and all the waitstaff (especially Wim and Cho) were so friendly with our toddler (who always loved to make a mess). They made sure they...always had his bowl of rice ready when we arrived. We loved this place so much we didn’t want to eat anywhere else during our stay in Samui! Highly recommend going here if you are in Samui.More

The best Thai food I’ve ever tasted! Fresh food, every dish has so much flavour. The steamed fish is the best I’ve ever tasted. Well priced, friendly staff.

Went to Baan Ya Jai for dinner with the family. Overall, the quality of the food as well as the service was really great. Thai food as you expect it. We ordered vegetable spring rolls and minced chicken with basil for starters. for the main...course we ordered vegeterian panang curry, chicken panang curry, shrimp curry and tom yum goong soup. all delicious and very well presented. the mango sticky rice for dessert was excellent. All in all great food at very reasonable prices. Would strongly recommend to visit Baan Ya Jai if you are looking for very good thai food.More
