Very good dishes. Tasty and clean. All people can speak English well here. Friendly and hospitable. I think it s the best restaurant in Ngapali beach. Must try. 👍👍

A pleasant dinner in a good setting with very sweet and attentive service. Grilled squid very tender ( I suspect frozen, not fresh) and a generous helping. Vegetable curry rich flavour and not "hot". A nice touch was the free fruit and the shell bracelets each customer gets when leaving. Recommended.

I had the best time here. Thu Thu the daughter of the owner was my server and she also talked with me my whole Dinner telling me all about Myanmar her culture and her village. Her father and husband are the cooks and her uncle is the fisherman! True local, family run business. I had the tiger prawns which came with delicious veggies and the squid curry, Myanmar style and spicy. They make it two ways so you have to ask for it how they like it! Lots of green chili’s! I also had a local Myanmar wine from up north and it was delightful. Before leaving she showed me how to make thanakha and then applied it to my face and bug bites for me! I had complementary watermelon for dessert and she sent me home with bananas and a shell bracelet she made! It was the most welcoming experience!

Here you can choose all seafood yourself before it will be cooked, a nice option. We took barrakuda fish, prawns and lobster for the grill. It was tasty. Good place.

Affordable, delicious and ample portions. The waitress was very friendly and helpful too. Saw a few regular visitors also chatting with her so it speaks volumes about the rapport she was able to build up. She readily helped serve the soup and also offered recommendations on what to eat. The complimentary fruits, some bananas to take back and the bracelets were a perfect end to the meal. The yakhine nga pi (fermented fish paste) was delicious. This region is famous for it but it can be off-putting to those not accustomed to it as it has a rather pungent smell.

Ocean Pearl is a welcoming and cozy family-run restaurant located in Ngapali Beach. Despite its impressive name, it offers a friendly atmosphere and delicious food at reasonable prices. The traditional curries, crab curry, meat and seafood salads are highly recommended. The staff is welcoming and even provides complimentary starters and desserts. Customers praise the personal touch of the owner and the flavorful dishes such as fisherman's curry, octopus salad, and grilled squid.
Can we talk. First night here in Ngapali out of 12, and the food here gets a 15 out of 10. Now, I enjoy spicy. The food delights I ordered were perfect tasty with all the right spicy. The owner is most personal, and her flavors rock. Ordered fisherman's curry, octopus salad, and grilled squid. I can't wait to visit again.

The best restaurant you can find in Ngapali! Not crowed and served with genuine food! Tasty avocado salad, king prawn curry and grilled fish! Surprised by having home-made dessert and fruit after the meal👍🏻

This restaurant is informal and clean. The 3 bros are very gentle and pretty. For eating a very fresh lobster you must come here. If you desire something out from list you can only speak with them. From Amazing resort is only 3 minute at left side. The best place in Ngapali!

Great food at great prices. We are here after shortly arriving in Ngpali beach, food was so tasty and will with a visit. The prices for all the dishes was around about 20k kyat. The okra were very tasty and a nice surprise. Give this place a go for good food, friendly service, great value.

Fantastic restaurant... Excellent food and service, very reasonably priced. The traditional curries are superb - one of the best crab curries I've ever had. The meat and seafood salads are really good too. Staff are very welcoming - they even have complimentary spring rolls as starters, as well as fruit and sesame pastry for dessert. The restaurant takes Visa and MasterCard too.

Seafood restaurant
Seagull Restaurant is a popular beachfront spot in Ngapali, known for its affordable cocktails and fresh BBQ seafood. Visitors can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere with sea views while sipping on drinks from the extensive menu. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including grilled octopus, mixed seafood noodles, and an acclaimed avocado salad that keeps guests coming back for more.
By far the BEST restaurant we tried on the beach (and we tried most of them). Their star dishes are the grilled octopus (ask to have fried potatoes instead of rice or vegetables!), mixed seafood noodles, and their avocado salad. In fact, their avocado salad was the reason we came and ate here FIVE times during our stay. They also serve you fried banana with delicious local honey after each dinner (if you purchase a seafood dish). It was so good we bought a whole bottle of honey from them! The owner is an incredibly nice man who checks up on you during the dinner service times. Perfect place for sunset. Hope to be back to have their avocado salad again and again and again ♡

Is a nice restaurant on the beach. Is possible to have a drink at sunset. They have happy hour from 4:30 to 6:30 pm The best think is that they show their fishes and you can chose what you want. Fish is well cooked. Staff is good. One of best restaurants in ngapali
Renato F — Google review
We had excellent memories of their food from two years time and went back three times during our stay in Ngapali this time. Food is cooked from scratch from fresh ingredients and the owner and his wife are so friendly. I’m happy to see the restaurant open again and having so many customers over Thingyan holiday. My photo is not great, but everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Our favorite was bbq tiger prawns, potato salad and eggplant salad.

The best beach restaurant in ngapali. Very fresh seafood, really cheap, in the perfect spot to see the sun set, and with the most kind People we have met there. Hope to see u again!!
Martin — Google review
The most popular restaurant on this beach. Can get crowded during the evening so better go for a lunch first. We came here 3 times and for us this place was just OK, nothing to write home about but really nothing to ask more for. Big portions but rather tasteless. Only few vegetarian options. For some reason the French fries taste like fish always. I took them twice on two different days and both had the same fishy flavor :( They have an BBQ grill for the seafood every evening.

Food is very tasty, sweet&sour seafood was excellent! For food we had to wait less more 50 min. Restaurant with beautiful views. :)

I think sandy beach next door is better, biggest issue is to wait nearly 1.5hr for a meal. Fresh is fresh, also, but I think better overall next door.

Seagull is a fantastic place ! The owners make you feel like you are part of their own family. We had a fantastic time there every single night. It might be a bit hard to find but its worth looking for it! Hope to be there again.

Located on Ngapali Rd, Two Brothers Restaurant is a seafood spot in the main beach area that offers a delightful dining experience. While some may argue that the northern beach area has better restaurant options overall, Two Brothers is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in this location. The ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant and inviting. The menu features flavorful dishes such as well-seasoned fish curry and delicious salads.
Impeccable service and incredible food, for very reasonable prices. Went here based on a recommendation and was not disappointed.

Customers care and tastes are more than good. Politeness and good services may extra for customers. I still want to have their special coconut seafoods menu. You’ve got my yes with that.
Ko O — Google review
nice seafood place. A little pricy but not so out of price. The place was busy and wait staff are rushing. The shop is tailored to foreign tourist. As local, I would prefer to go another place where the food are more toward local taste. As western tourist, this place would have been perfect. It also seem like owner spent more time waiting on Foreign tourist table. Maybe he want to make sure there is no miscommunication. Regardles, I personally feel like, my table did not get proper attention. There is no assisting us with dish choices or pairing. Food did taste good. Their recommended Seafood Coconut curry dish was great. Seafood were fresh and presentation was very nice. I would recommend for Western Tourist. For local folks and someone who want to venture out to try local Spicy dishes may prefer another place.

Great service and excellent food. A lot of the restaurants in Ngapali have the exact same menu but Two Brothers are unique in their own way. Best dish out there is the Coconut Seafood Curry!

We had a nice dinner, the fish was fresh. Some of the fishes were cooked with a bit too much of garlic, if you don't like it a lot maybe better check with the waitress. Service is great, they are super nice and kind. A fruit platter comes in complimentary. Recomended

Restaurant
Nestled at the edge of Ngapali Beach, PVI Restaurant offers a stunning dining experience that perfectly complements its breathtaking surroundings. As you approach this gem, you'll notice a long jetty extending over the water, leading to an ambiance that feels upscale yet remains budget-friendly. The restaurant is an ideal spot to soak in the mesmerizing sunsets while palm trees sway gently nearby, creating a serene atmosphere that's far from crowded.
PVI Restaurant (short for Pleasant View Islet Restaurant) is perched on an islet just off Ngapali Beach. You can walk across at low tide, or at high tide hop on a small shuttle raft operated by local youth to reach the restaurant . Best place for serene ocean views and an unforgettable sunset ambiance

A very beautiful seafood restaurant in Ngapali with amazing sunset view from PVI Island. Drinks and food are reasonable price and customer service is great. It is a great place for romantic dinner for couples during honeymoon. People also celebrate private events in this restaurant.

Cool restaurant with an awesome view of the ocean. The view is reason to come here, and it was really nice during the sunset. The food was good, but nothing special compared to other places in the area. The service was just okay, they forgot a few things for me.
Nick T — Google review
Location is terrific. At high tide there is a shuttle raft to the beach towed by local boys. Food is good, but expect western prices. There is happy hour from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. The sun sets behind Pearl Island.

One of the best located restaurant at the Ngapali Beach. This restaurant is a small Island :) but this unfortunately comes with the price (of food and drinks). The high prices level (comparing to other prices in Mjanmar) are mitigated by beautiful view at the sea, especially during sunset. I would definitely recommend this place for the evening time with someone special.
Cezary K — Google review
This place is worth it for the view alone. I walked here across the water as the tide was still low. Lovely smoothies, fresh salads and cocktails. You can see the water so blue and clear against the rocks and a gorgeous view across ngapali beach. Service was quick and friendly.
Fabiola E — Google review
Tourist prices for okay food but I believe most of the cost is for the setting which is amazing. Great view with a beautiful sunset on an off-to-the-distance cliffside makes for a picturesque dinner. Would recommend for that 10/10 Instagram shot that gets all the followers (Heh). I didn't get any photos without my family, though, cuz it was that nice. Getting to the place seems difficult as you have to cross a little bit of ocean. If crossing before low tide at 7pm, it'll leave you a bit wet when getting there. I started at 5:30pm and the tide was at my knees, or thighs with waves. We talked to some others that took off their pants to cross the waters before putting it back on for dinner. Nighttime is nice with low light setting. With the tide coming down at around 7pm, a sand path revealed itself for our walk back to the hotel.
