Best Issan restaurant on Samui

[kwilco]

 

As my favorite Issan restaurant has closed, I'd like to find a replacement.

 

What are you recommendations and why?

Not many Issan restaurants here at the pointy end of the island where I live.

 

I had a good friend from Issan and she raved over a small place somewhere opposite Bangkok Hospital Samui - towards Chaweng.

 

My favourite restaurant (Krua Choengmon) does serve Northern food, but the girl is not from Issan. She is a bloomin good cook though.

Laab and laab moo tod - v. good

You don't say which part of the island you are staying.

 

Krok Mai on the ring road about 150 yards before Bangkok Hospital coming from Chaweng Yai, on the opposite side is OK. 

 

Thai Kik in Laem Din market is always very busy.  About 15metres before Lotus Express, on same side, but set back from the road a little bit.

I use the one of the seafront in Nathon - they are quite good but the old Issan PlaPao - https://maps.app.goo.gl/pUnqnZRZbSQcx7fh9 - was exceptional. I just wonder if they have started up again somewhere else?
