Quick snapshot: a restaurant rated 4.4 out of 5 from 52 reviews that will make you clap and curse in the same sitting.
Where it sits and who finds it
This place sits off the beaten path and can be reached without hopping onto main roads, a detail a reviewer who came from Soi Palai singled out as a genuine plus.
It shares a neighborhood with several guest lodgings and a local art gallery, including Privana Grove, The Infinity Private Pool Villa, Villa Veronica, Aree Phuket Art Gallery, Chalong Modern Private Pool Villa, Faraway house, and บ้านโอมหลอง, which makes it a logical stop for travelers staying nearby.
Customers can use NFC payments and the restaurant is not cash-only, so you can tap and go instead of juggling bills.
Drive if you like — both a free parking lot and free street parking are available on site.
The car park includes wheelchair accessible parking, so accessibility to the lot is handled better than you might expect.
Be aware of the weekly rhythm: closed on Monday and open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
The highs that make locals come back
One reviewer reported the place as full of locals, a sharp signal that the flavors are resonating where it matters most.
A different regular praised the southern dishes as faithful to tradition, noted consistently good service during that visit, and recommended the restaurant for anyone wanting to explore regional Thai plates.
Another visitor highlighted friendly staff and straightforward, enjoyable food during a trip that involved a proper adventure getting there — small things like warmth at the table matter, and they show up here at times.
The lows that will make you want to walk out
Service has collapsed spectacularly at least once; a reviewer described waiting more than two hours for food while fewer than five tables were seated, with staff repeatedly telling them the kitchen was still preparing their order.
The kitchen shows alarming inconsistency: a critic who ordered four dishes found the fried fish with garlic burnt, lotus stem soggy and mushy, squid overcooked and chewy, and shrimp paste excessively spicy, all in the same meal.
Why the rollercoaster happens
These reports create a jagged pattern: evidence of authentic southern execution and local popularity sits beside distinct episodes of service paralysis and poor cooking control.
That contrast points to a team capable of excellence but also vulnerable to breakdowns in timing and technique, rather than to a restaurant that is uniformly bad or uniformly stellar.
How to approach dining here without detonating your temper
- Time your visit carefully: avoid being rigid about short windows — one documented wait stretched beyond two hours, so bring patience or choose a meal where time is flexible.
- Ask direct questions: confirm estimated cook times when you order and check which dishes are freshly ready to minimize the risk of overcooked or burnt plates.
- Use nearby lodging: if you stay at the surrounding guest houses or villas, treat this as a convenient dinner option rather than a destination worth a long, high-stakes trip.
- Drive with confidence: use the free lot or street parking and take advantage of wheelchair accessible parking if you need it.
- Pay by tap: bring an NFC-capable card or phone to speed the exit.
Final verdict — honest, sharp, practical
Expect genuine southern flavors and moments of warm, local hospitality, but accept the risk of a disastrous service or kitchen day; if you like surprises that swing from delightful to dreadful, this place will thrill you — if you hate uncertainty, it will test you.
Short version: go if you value authentic local plates and can tolerate variability; otherwise keep your options open and use the parking and payment conveniences to bail fast if the night goes sideways.
