Great Thai

I really enjoyed eating here. We came during happy hour so it was very slow. The views of the ocean and jungle were very peaceful. While sitting we saw two scarlet macaws fly by.
The food was really good! Win win all around.

Delicious Thai food

There were a handful of nice looking vegan options on the menu, but the staff were also very accommodating to making other meat dishes vegan too, so plenty of choice! There were also 2 vegan desserts available which is always a bonus. All in all, delicious food, nice setting and great service.

Pros: Many options, Great service , Tasty food

Solid Thai food

We had a nice Thai dinner here. Deep fried spring rolls were okay. Nothing special but tasty nonetheless. Hard to go wrong with deep fry. Green Thai Currie with tofu was delicious as was the stir fry. #Veganuary

Pros: Several vegan options , Good quality ingredients

Cons: Fairly expensive

This place deserves 5 stars

Best food around. Don't bother with the other options they are all sub par. Many vegan options, just ask what they can make. Run!

Pros: Amazing authentic Thai food , Ask and they will make many dishes vegan, Best food in the area, period.

Cons: Not cheap but you get what you pay for

Very good food - not cheap

Loved the food here, honestly couldn’t fault it. The waiter was also super nice and friendly. Our bill came to $60 for 3 starters and 2 mains but I would say the food was a 9 or 10/10. I don’t mind paying for good food, and they were very knowledgeable about veganism. Wish it was cheaper but will still probably go back.

Exquisite food but way too pricey

Really nothing to complain about the quality of the meals (vegan), but it's such a disappointment to pay, for example, more than $5 for spring rolls and see coming two little ones. Other meals still very tasty and well made but the price tho..
When I saw the bill I wanted to jump off the balcony lol

Good place

Waiters know what’s vegan and not vegan. We got the pad see ew, veggie delight, corn fritters, po pia tod. Came out to $48.45. We’re from NYC so we’re used to these kind of prices. But the opinion that it’s outrageously expensive don’t hold up depending where you’re from and what you order.

Rice was cooked well. Noodles were great. Garlic sauce was really good, could hold up in NYC!! Bean curd was excellent. Corn fritters were so good with the sauce it comes with. Happily surprised a Thai place in Costa Rica is good. I’d come back.

Pros: knowledgable staff, decent options and prices, great view/atmosphere

Cons: Entrees might take 20+ minutes

Excellent but pricey

My daughter loves Asian food so we went to Samui Thai while in CR. We were not expecting much (Thai food in Costa Rica?) but the food was excellent. More than half of the menu is vegetarian and can be made vegan. The flavors were super authentic and the service was excellent. Although pricey, we thought it was worth it. I wanted to go back every night but the group I was with wanted to try other places.

Pros: Excellent flavors, Normal portion sizes, Great service

Cons: Pricey

Overpriced and tasteless

I ordered a vegan gluten-free Tom Kha Kai. I received a bowl of hot water with a dash of coconut milk and chopped lettuce! I then add a vegetable curry, which didn't taste like much. We were 2 people, we had a couple of Happy-hour cocktails, one shared entree (the lettuce soup) and two dishes for a total of 74 dollars! Ok, the view was great!

Pros: The view

Cons: Overpriced, Not many flavourful vegan and gluten-free options

Great food but pricey

Great staff, very friendly. We came at happy hour and had 2 4 1 mimosas. Ordered Thai salad, crispy and red curry. All delicious but that came to $60 USD. Hmmmm that’s a bit much. Food was great though. Location is lovely, as long as you get a seat near the sea view.

Edible - that is all

Left a lot to be desired in terms of flavour. Juices are from concentrate - in Costa Rica!!! Highly overpriced for such mediocre food. Nice staff though.

Cons: Expensive

Great food. Very helpful

Will happily tell you what can be made vegan. Drinks are delicious, I had the hibiscus mojito. I ordered the red curry with tofu and it was very good. I eat a lot of Thai food and this holds up to my NYC standards. The only reason for the 4 stars is the prices. Pretty ridiculous.

Pros: Enough veg/vegan options , Fantastic drinks, Vegan dessert

Cons: Expensive

Beautiful View!

If you’re looking for a really tasty upscale meal in Monte Verde I recommend Samui. The staff are knowledgeable about what vegan means and the menu denotes most of the vegan options aside from some appetizers which are vegan friendly but not marked. We really enjoyed watching the sunset on their beautiful deck overlooking the forest and water.
