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

Tucked away in Thanon Ratsada in the Rasada district of central Phuket, this Chinese seafood restaurant has cultivated a loyal clientele of locals and tourists alike thanks to its uncomplicated approach, where guests select fresh, live seafood and have it prepared right there on the table. The chef is known for bringing the freshly caught fish to the table for approval before preparing it – a detail that regulars appreciate as a sign of transparency and quality. Specialties include crab curry and fried crab with lime. The menu also features shrimp and other seafood that changes daily, prepared in classic Thai-Chinese style.

The atmosphere is relaxed and informal. Located amidst several similar Chinese seafood restaurants in the Old Town, it consistently receives praise from critics for its quality and service. Attracting a diverse crowd of shoppers, tourists, and locals, it's a great choice for a leisurely meal while exploring Phuket's Old Town. Prices are higher than those of street food stalls, which visitors generally consider reasonable given the location and the quality of the ingredients.

The restaurant opens daily at 10:00 AM, but on Mondays and Sundays at 9:30 PM, allowing for flexible dining options for both lunch and dinner. Since payment details are not verified, it's advisable to bring cash. While it may be slightly quieter outside of peak hours, its central location ensures it's busy throughout the day.
