Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The midnight opening makes this place particularly worth seeing. Most restaurants in Cherngtalay close shortly after 9 pm. So, if you're sunburned and returning late from Bang Tao or Laguna and would prefer to eat in a proper restaurant rather than just a quick toast from 7-Eleven, then this is the place for you.

The cuisine is Thai at its core with a fusion influence, which usually makes me skeptical, but here the flavors feel familiar and well-considered, rather than being distorted for foreign palates. It's not a street food stall with plastic stools, and it doesn't aspire to be. You'll find a proper table here, a more relaxed atmosphere, a place where you'd happily invite friends. Perfect for a quick bite in the afternoon after a day at the beach or a leisurely dinner.

Consistency is the real key to success. Many restaurants in this part of Phuket start promisingly and then lose momentum. Not this one, judging by the consistently good reviews.
