Kitchen was having issues with the vent over the grill so was unable to order the grilled salmon, which was fine, things do happen. 3 out of the 4 dishes had beef & unfortunately the beef was so tough we had issues cutting it . My 7 year old struggled to chew it as well. At least the beef ramen broth was tasty. The 4th main dish was marked as spicy & it did not have much flavor or spice.

New update (2025 - 3 stars):
Me & my husband decided to give Koh Tao Bistro Grill Oriental another chance for supper. Our first experience wasn't great, but this time was much better.

We were seated quickly, although it was a bit odd they placed us right next to another couple when the restaurant had plenty of empty tables. Drinks were tasty but on the pricier side.

We ordered the Ultimate Sharing Platter which came with beef flank, grilled chicken strips, tempura shrimps with spicy mayo, Argentine shrimps, sautéed veggies & jasmine rice. Everything was cooked well & portioned enough for two people. The shrimp with the sauce was the highlight, but the meat could have used another dipping option.

The only real miss was that sides were never offered, even though they were supposed to be included.

Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere cozy, & knowing the family story behind Koh Tao makes it even more special. Definitely a better experience than last time.

➡? Première mise à jour (2021 - 1 étoile):
Je déconseille!!!!! On est arrivé ce soir pour la première fois pour manger & c'était la pire expérience au monde! On a attendu 1h20 pour deux assiettes & il y a 8 personnes qui ont eu leur commandes avant nous mais qui sont arrivé après nous! Incroyable!!!! Après à la facture, surtout pas de rabais offert! On ne reviens plus jamais. A éviter!

Beautiful place. I ate the beef pho, really tasty. The waitress was really receptive as I don't speak French.

I recently visited twice this restaurant, drawn in by the promise of authentic Thai/Oriental cuisine, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The flavors were off, & it just didn't taste like the Thai food I'm used to. For instance, the Tom Yum soup, which should be bursting with rich, spicy flavors, was served cold, which really detracted from the experience. The padthai was like with spaghetti sauce & the sizzling beef tasted like a beef stroganov. On top of that, the service left a lot to be desired. The server seemed unfamiliar with even basic items like San Pellegrino, which was surprising for a place like this. While the ambiance & the location were pleasant, it's clear that the management needs to pay more attention to these little but important details. The one highlight of the meal was the sweet potato fries & the imperial roll-both were quite enjoyable, but that's not enough to make up for the overall lackluster experience. With some improvements, this place has potential, but as it stands, I left disappointed.
