Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Nestled in the relaxed village of Saladan on the northern tip of Koh Lanta, Ohana Home Cooking 2 has garnered a loyal following among travelers and locals alike with its uncomplicated, homemade Thai cuisine at truly affordable prices. The name says it all: here, the cooking is unpretentious and heartfelt, prioritizing flavor over formality. This makes it a welcome alternative to the more touristy restaurants near the beach.

Guests can expect a relaxed, informal atmosphere, typical of a family-run restaurant where the food takes center stage. The kitchen offers a wide selection of Thai classics, using fresh, local ingredients. This results in dishes that are individually prepared and don't taste mass-produced. The consistently good reviews reflect the kitchen staff's passion for cooking with pride and care every day.

Ohana Home Cooking 2 is open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM and offers something for every time of day – from late breakfast to dinner. Its location in Saladan, the main town and ferry port of Koh Lanta, makes it especially convenient for travelers arriving by boat or those looking to stock up on provisions before continuing their journey south. Since there is no website, it's worth stopping by to check the daily specials or any menu changes.
