Yawee Restaurant
Muslim family restaurant run by women, serving affordable, delicious fried chicken and Thai dishes; often packed in high season.
Yawee is on Route 4245, south of Long Beach. It is a halal family restaurant run by Muslim women, serving no alcohol and offering plenty of vegetarian choices. The signatures are Yawee-style fried chicken wings, popcorn chicken and crispy chicken khao soi, while pomelo salad, papaya salad and Thai stir-fried noodles are also often recommended. Mains cost about 60–120 baht, which is excellent value. In the low season you can simply walk in and eat; in the high season it fills up, so booking ahead is advisable.
