Reviews
Usually when I see a Michelin sticker on a restaurant I know to avoid it because it will be overpriced and mediocre food. This was the complete opposite, we went 2 days in a row, everything we ordered was excellent, the portions were huge, the food was authentic and the service was amazing. Definitely would recommend anyone coming to Samui to experience proper traditional and clean Thai food here. Surprisingly it does not cost any more than your “local generic Thai restaurants” on the same street but 100% worth every baht. Personal recommendation: Wagyu masaman curry , papaya salad and the yellow curry crab
Kapi Sator is a Michelin restaurant in Central Koh Samui. It has very limited seating indoors n outside. Ambiance is nothing to talk about. Service was ok. Food was good. As a starter we had a beef carpaccio salad that was good. For our main course we had blue crab in coconut milk curry with rice noodles. It was yummy. The picture showed 4 bunches of noodles but we were served only 3. I didn't understand the raw beans accompaniment. Apparently in Thailand they eat raw beans! We enjoyed the food so much that we made a second visit.
We had 2 times dinner in this restaurant. We had really mind blowing food here. It is not the cheapest place around, obviously, but just go there to maybe try one plate, you won’t pay a fortune with that. As can be seen in the pictures we were amazed by grilled octopus coconut soup and pork stews. Salted egg calamari plate was not our top choice, but was tasty. There is a note on some tables about the red thai curry, which says the curry itself spicy by nature. Be careful when you order curry plates, even if you ask not spicy.
Recommended by the Michelin Guide 2024–2026. We tried it and really enjoyed it. Prices are a bit higher compared to local places, roughly about double, and there’s also a 10% service charge plus 7% VAT added to the bill. However, the service is excellent, so it feels deserved. The food tastes great, which is why I gave 5 stars. Personally, I still enjoy local street food more because it’s cheaper and also very tasty. But this restaurant is definitely worth trying at least once. ✌️
From the very first step I took into the restaurant, I was genuinely impressed. Every dish was delicious, perfectly balanced in flavor, and clearly prepared with great care. The ingredients were fresh and high-quality, and each plate was beautifully presented — definitely worthy of a photo before eating. What truly made me feel that I would “absolutely come back again” was the excellent service. All the staff were friendly, professional, and attentive from the moment I ordered until the end of the meal. The food was served promptly, their recommendations were helpful, and they checked in just the right amount — not too much and not too little. Overall, the combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes this restaurant perfect for both special occasions and casual dining. If you’re looking for a great place to eat, this is definitely worth trying! 🌟🍽️✨
