Mr. Thu GRILL — a small owner-run grill with unanimous five-star praise
All five recent reviews rate this place 5/5, with feedback collected between December 2024 and May 2025. Multiple guests point to a single reason they return: the owner, Mr. Thu, shapes almost every aspect of the visit with hands-on hospitality.
What to order from guest reports
- Tilapia — several reviewers singled out plain tilapia and tilapia in salt as the standouts.
- Grilled chicken — noted alongside the fish as perfectly cooked.
- Small fried fish — served once as a complimentary bonus by the owner, according to one reviewer.
- Overall food impression — reviewers used words like juicy, flavorful and tastier than many restaurants; portion sizes were described as generous.
- Price perception — multiple guests explicitly called the prices very low for the quality and portions received.
Atmosphere: simple interior, cozy outcome
Reviewers describe a straightforward, unpretentious setting that feels cozy because of the owner’s attitude rather than decor. One guest wrote that the place felt like visiting an old friend; another noted the atmosphere as pleasant and suitable for a relaxed dinner or takeaway pickup. At least one reviewer brought a child, indicating the mood on those visits skewed casual and family-acceptable rather than nightclub-style.
Service quirks and takeout realities revealed by guests
- Takeaway is an explicit option: one reviewer advised ordering or picking up the seafood grill to enjoy at home.
- Stock improvisation happens: if alcohol runs out the owner has been known to hop on his moped and fetch drinks from 7-Eleven for guests, and other visitors stopped at 7-Eleven for sauce — both details suggest limited in-house beverage and condiment variety.
- Personal touch matters more than a polished service system; expect flexible, owner-led fixes rather than formal bar inventory handling.
Practical details visitors used in reviews
- One reviewer reached the place in about three minutes from their hotel; surrounding lodging in the area includes Mai Khao Beach Condotel and MBC Condotel, which makes this a convenient option for nearby travelers.
- Operating schedule (as listed): Monday 4:00 PM–12:00 AM; Tuesday 4:00 PM–12:00 AM; Wednesday–Thursday 5:00 PM–12:00 AM; Friday 5:00 PM–11:30 PM; Saturday–Sunday 5:00 PM–12:00 AM.
- Payment: accepts credit cards and NFC payments.
How to visit smarter — actionable tips derived from reviews
- If you want the best chance to sample what reviewers praised, order tilapia (consider the salt preparation) and add grilled chicken; ask if the owner is offering any small extras that day.
- Plan for an evening visit; opening times concentrate on late afternoons and nights, with Fridays closing slightly earlier than other days.
- Bring an appetite and expect generous portions that reviewers described as good value.
- If you rely on specific beverages or specialty sauces, be prepared that the in-house selection may be limited; buying items nearby or asking the owner about availability ahead of arrival is sensible.
- Card and NFC payment are accepted, so you do not need to rely on cash unless you prefer it.
Analyst takeaway
Reviews are consistent: this is a small, owner-driven grill where the cooking quality and personal hospitality outweigh any lack of polish or wide beverage selection. If you value straightforward, flavorful seafood and a personable host over fancy presentation, the guest consensus suggests Mr. Thu GRILL delivers reliable, high-value meals and a memorable local feel.
