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

The crab dishes are the main reason to visit. Critics consistently praise the crab with lemon sauce, and the yellow curry with fresh crab meat on noodles is the house specialty. If there are two of you, it's best to order both. Here you'll find southern Thai cuisine with Teochew influences in a colonial-style building in the heart of Phuket's old town. The Michelin Bib Gourmand, which the restaurant has held for years, signifies good food at fair prices – not haute cuisine.

This popularity and the numerous TikTok videos have consequences. Waiting times of around 40 minutes are not uncommon, but the service improves once you're seated. It's best to go on a weekday or shortly after they open at 10:00 AM. And be honest about the spiciness. Several guests ordered "medium spicy" and received significantly hotter dishes. Realistic expectations are also important. Some guests who ordered seven dishes at once found their food served hastily and under-seasoned. Therefore, I recommend keeping your order concise and focusing on crab and papaya salad.
