First off, I like the attendant or the crew, they were so very attentive, and the lady was giving us options on which food was up to our taste since we were not familiar with any of the Thai foods. And ultimately, the food was so good. I never knew Thai food was as good as that. 10/10

This slightly out of town restaurant offers Great food very reasonable prices, Alas I just needed a small meal late one night so couldn’t order more, but I throughly enjoyed my Chicken with cashews.
A lovely touch all diners were offer a free Happy Valentine’s Day cup cake at the end of the day. ♥️

It's a challenge to find a decent Thai food restaurant outside the city but Thai Phoon in Bantayan Island had change that. I had some sort of bias after reading reviews but also got skeptical. Being a Thai food lover I have to try it for my self.
I had arrived 8PM just an hour before they closed. The restaurant had modern interiors of Thai restaurant. I dine in al fresco since it was evening.
I got Thai Phoon Platter with satay, pandan chicken, papaya salad, fried spring roll and fried chicken and bowl of red curry. There are hit and missed on the platter. My favorites are pandan chicken, fried spring roll and papaya salad from the choices. The red curry was super good that you want for more. The food were nicely presented.
The thai ice tea had stick to its original taste which I really love.
I can say an authentic Thai restaurant and must try in Bantayan Island.

Very good variety of authentic thai dishes that are as tasty as you will find anywhere. We ate here 2-3 times a week during our 2 month visit. Indoor (a/c) and outdoor seating .... indoor seating was welcome on warm sunny days during April.

This resto didn’t dissappoint us! The reviews are really true! If you’re craving for thai food this resto is to try for!
The taste of their food was really good! We ordered shrimp pad thai, Thai Platter and Sticky mango rice (we ordered 2 of these). This was really worth to try when you visit Sta.Fe! I was soooo happy and full I also commended Ate who serves our food that. “Ate , ang sarap ng food nyo!”😋😋😋
We will definitely try this again! 🥰🥰🥰

I read the reviews and had to try this place. The place was very clean from inside and out! The restaurant and even the CR is probably most cleanest in the whole Philippines period. I ordered some Curry Crab, Chicken fried rice and some Vegetables rolls. The food was so delicious
And left me craving for more! I did research all over the internet and this place was by far the best restaurant in the Bantayan islands and also Cebu! CHEERS TO YOU

Excellent food and service. I was quite surprised at how good the Thai food is here. Shrimp skewers, papaya solid, seafood and basil stir fry and green chicken curry were as good as any I have ever had. You can order heat in levels 1 - 3. We got level 2 and it is spicy, and I love spicy, but not Thai spicy. The service was great and the staff was very friendly.

Pad-Thai Shrimp, Crispy Pork, Prawn Skewers and of course Red Curry. Loving it when I can smell the food while consuming it, the aroma is so inviting made me ate alot. Varieties of options and personnel are very accommodating and educative especially about spiciness and food prep.

We came back here again this year. New superb location with excellent facilities but the food is second to none. We tried others restaurants in Santa Fee but this is the best. The food is freshly prepared for you to suit your personal tastes. New items on the menu are all superb. Try the yellow curry. Generous portions and lots of crunchy vegetables - Vegetarians are well catered for here too. Cannot fault it

Thai Phoon have the best Thai food I ever tasted here in the Philippines. The owner is a lovely lady with cooking skills to the tip of her fingers. I ordered four different dishes. Tom Yum which was excellent, Som Tam papaya salad which was quite spicy and refreshing, Prad krapao was made of fresh beef and tasty just missed the egg on top but still excellent and then a Beef salad with mint leaves. WARNING!!! You will easily get addicted......

Hidden gem Thai-Phoon Restaurant in RTR building, Santa Fe, Bantayan. The photos just do not do justice on how amazing the food tasted. Everything was on point from the service, to the ambiance of the place, and how quickly the food was served to the table. EVERYTHING we ordered on the menu IS our favorite.

The place to sit and relax with authentic Thai foods. The Thai Green Curry was excellent and as always thoroughly enjoyed the food! The staff and host/ Thai chef Devy take so much care of my Daughter, very kind. A regular place for us to eat and also has my favourite Singha Beer!
