Japan Cafe Phangan - Koh Phangan

This was a unique experience for me as it was my first time getting food poisoning on Koh Phangan, where the food quality is typically reliable. It was also my first time getting sick at a Japanese restaurant, which was surprising since my previous visit had been great. I have a lot of respect for the chef, who is a humble guy that cooks everything from scratch. Despite the long wait for the food to be ready, the lack of proper hygiene was disappointing. The food tasted a bit off, but we didn't think much of it due to the restaurant's previous good reputation. Unfortunately, I ended up with diarrhea and stomach pain for two days. The price increase was also puzzling. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant as the sushi was of poor quality and overpriced compared to other high-quality places in Thailand. My advice is to take recent reviews with a grain of salt, as some restaurants struggle to maintain their standards over time.

Wow, wow! the food here reminded me so much of home. the udon brought me back to remember that I sat with my oma around the building and that was exactly what I didn't know I needed it. the family that holds this is so friendly and has me to feel at home. many thanks for such a good experience!

The dining experience was excellent with a lovely atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and attentive to his customers. I would definitely return in the future.

They from a beautiful couple, mr. nobu and woman. good food, they do not expect beautiful Japanese kitchen. price is fair. I prefer the warm eating over the sushi.

The service may be a bit slow at this small restaurant, as the couple that owns it does everything themselves, but the delicious food makes it worth the wait.
