We‘ve been to the Phensiri a couple of times for Dinner and we enjoyed it every single time! The food is very authentic and really delicious. Plus, the atmosphere is really relaxing! Many plants and flowers outside, you almost feel like having Dinner in the...middle of the jungle:-) such a beautiful place! So, if you are looking for a place with authentic thai food, good quality for reasonable prices and a nice place to relax, the Phensiri is your place!More

Not being a lover of Thai food we found this restaurant to have extremely good Thai food, so during our yearly holidays in Samui, we go there many times. One Saturday evening we decided to go there for dinner and they were very busy-there were...people queuing to get a table so we joined the queue. When our turn came a group of 4 people( speaking Thai) arrived and jumped in front of us and the staff immediately gave them the only available table which was meant to be for us. My husband addressed the manageress and asked if they had a reservation, as they were given preference over us when we had waited half an hour already and they had just arrived and took our table ,yet we were next in line. She muttered, no they had no reservation but they were 4 and we were 2 so we could wait. We were appalled by this unacceptable attitude as they have no regard for customer care. Just because they were busy it doesn't give them the right to disregard their loyal customers. Even after the manageress realised we were were furious and were leaving to go elsewhere, she didn't even make an effort to apologise. It was water off a duck's back to her. Very disappointing indeed!More

Tasty Thai fare. It was that good we went 3 times. Excellent service, had a laugh and a joke with one of the waitresses (didnt get her name). They are also extending the premises as very busy at dinner.

This was the only bad experience I had during my trip to Samui. Terrific food, terrible service. A middle-aged waitress was arrogant. When I told her check plz, she pretended not to hear without response. After I told him again very patiently, she said ok,...check, one moment to me in a very bad tone. I will never ever enter that restaurant angain. I don’t want anyone have the experience like me.More

Excellent local Thai, very nicely decorated to feel cozy and cool but not pretentious. Fish is the best in Thailand, and many has all possible options. You might need to be a bit patient with the service, but they are all quite nice as anywhere...in Samui and Thailand in general. Went there twice, and would come back without a doubtMore

The food and service is 10 out of 10 . It’s as simple as that. We had Tom yum soup, prawn curry and the orange crepes, all were delicious. It is on the main road of Koh Samui however a short ride out , 5...mins if that.More

Hands down, one of the best meals I have ever had anywhere. The food and the people made this so popular with our family we went twice and ate the most delicious food, presented so beautifully. We couldn't quite believe the price at the end...of the meal, such great value. If you visit one restaurant on Koh Samui make it this one. On our first visit we arrived later in the evening and the owner didn't have space for the four of us, so sat us in the accompanying restaurant next door (also owned by them) The service, the food and the spirit of this place, was so alive and fun. We witnessed the best happy birthday song we had ever heard, four of the team and owner sprung out of nowhere and began a strumming guitars and playing drums - much to the delight of the table next to us. What an exceptional place this is.More

First time back after 6 years. The food was very tasty and fresh. We had spring rolls and prawn skewers with lemongrass to start then a red Thai chicken curry and panang prawn curry both delicious. The service was friendly. The only negative was I...was still finishing the starter when the mains were place on the table. We felt very rushed. Next time we would not order our mains until after we have finished our entrees. Also I ordered a cocktail. I would like to suggest there was very little rum in it if any at all.More

When the locals say this place is top notch that’s good enough for us to want to try it. First time food was unbelievable - presentation superb, taste simply superb & ambience perfect. Reflecting back a few days later we thought yeah it was good...but was it really that good. Well we ended up going 3 times & every single time (different meal selections also) each & every dish was sensational. The restaurant is at the quiet end of chaweng but the setting is beautiful with fountains & outdoor alfresco dining in the lush covered gardens. But food is what it’s all about & this place NAILED it each time.More
