Our hotel taxi driver suggested Red Onion. I was somewhat turned off by the non-local customers and the gaudy pictures-filled menu. It was catered to tourists. But what I eventually found out, the whole country was catered to tourists.
It was a popular restaurant and there was a 10 minute wait on a Sunday night. There were plastic red chairs in front of the restaurant for your waiting pleasure.
Friendly staff and nice family ambiance. Smokers were scattered throughout the restaurant, so be forewarned.
My mother and I ordered our coconut juices, red curry with prawns, pad thai with prawns, and steamed mussels.
The pad thai was simply amazing. I haven't had good pad thai until I visited Thailand. Man oh man, Red Onion delivered the tastiest, freshest, and the best pad thai ever. With a squeeze of lime juice, the noodles, the prawns, and the bean sprouts, blended well together in my mouth.
The red curry was very flavorful and not too thick or rich. The prawns were big and fresh. We ate the curry with rice.
I didn't like the mussels. A bit too dry for me, but my mom enjoyed them.
Our complete meal was 440 baht. Which was $13 USD. Yes, dinner for two with drinks was friggin $13. Incredible, right? Fantastic value.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
