RoyDee Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 On 10/4/2017 at 8:38 AM, Big Guns said: In defence of Ruan Chomchan, I've been going there since the place opened in the previous location about 3 years and in general my meals have been excellent. My meals for 2 people generally average about 1400 Baht and the quality is at the top of what you get in Ban Chang. When they have made mistakes I've let the owner know and they have been rectified. I remember once I had asked them to save some of my curry and the chef accidentally threw it out and they cooked a whole new batch up for me to take home. I also enjoy the place .

The Bella Vista at Payoon Beach always used to be good, but I haven't been there for a while. Zum Adler opposite the entrance to Eastern Star offers a Chateaubriand at 1200Baht for 2 people. I haven't tried it yet (waiting for a suitable occasion to treat the missis), but the rest of their food is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guns Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I went to the Bella Vista recently and the quality seemed to have dropped since I last went when it was at its previous location. The burgers at Boardwalk are good but I haven't tried the steak. The Lord Nelson seems popular but again haven't tried the steak. Other options include the Camel and Hana.

huangnon Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ^Tbh, if it's a decent imported steak that you're after, Banchang doesn't really cut the mustard. I'd rather hop in the car and go to either California Steak (Kameo, Rayong), or head in the other direction to Jomtien (Bruno's, News Steak, etc).

Spacer Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Ribeye at Finnegan's was good. i didn't like how they served it on top of the fries smothered in sauce. Fries ended up all soggy. And they have Guinness on tap which is a must for an Irish pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banchang Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The little Italian steak and pizza place opposite situmvee Park does a fantastic fillet steak with mushroom sauce for 240 baht. Maybe not the best but a great little treat. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) The Ban Chang Expat Mart on the bypass road has good Rib eye, Sirloin and T Bone, take home and cook yourself!! Edited December 3, 2017 by LennyW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Don Jai Pizza (opp Sinthavee Park) will be re-locating to Klaeng in April. (End of lease I think. Looks like the entire area is being re-developed). The little guy will miss his Tuna Pizzas....Hopefully Stewy and Finnegans will step up to the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guns Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've tried the buffet shabu shabu and sushi at the venue which used to house the clock bar. I've been there a couple of times, the foods been great and I've always been virtually too full to walk by the time I've left. Its 299 Baht per head which I feel is a bargain. There's a new small place offering barbecued pork, chicken and beef at 10 baht per stick. The chilli version is great but is super hot. Its located on the opposite side of the road to the over 50's club and they also have a hydroponics lettuce place there. The other place I tried recently is the new Korean restaurant which is in the place that has a gym, steam room, massage and sauna. This is located heading away from the over 50's nightclub towards the traffic lights. The food was really good quality and very tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVENKEEL Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Went to Micasa in Phla for what I thought was to be Mexican cuisine. Was I wrong to assume this? Apparently because not a taco in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just with a name like Micasa I was expecting to treat my little girl with some Mexican Food. Sort of like having a restaurant in the states named Sabai Sabai and not selling thai food.

Popular Post roulax Posted March 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2018 I have tried the Ciao Bella "Pizzaria" (It is written as such..) on Phla road this week. I can recommend their Lasagna and Tiramisu which are really excellent for a very decent price. The cold cut platter is also great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Tried the Korean restaurant inside the Yurak fitness and Sauna centre last night, very good indeed!!! But be warned.....the portions are massive, normally in places like Singapore, Malaysia etc. if you go in a Korea restaurant they have great pictures in the menu but small portions, not here as we found out after we had ordered 3 dishes.....HUGE!!!! Also have an extensive Thai menu and some Chinese as well. Great taste, good staff, i will be going back there again for sure!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
