The old Mai Khao restaurant

You won't notice this local restaurant right away. It is located near the Splash Jungle.💧

From classic Thai dishes to European cuisine, the menu features a wide variety of dishes with pictures and translations into a few other languages. But Thai food is their specialty, and they take great pride in presenting the genuine flavors and cooking methods of Thailand. The menu features a variety of Thai cuisine to suit every taste, from savory stir-fries to aromatic curries.

The attentive and friendly service I received from the staff during my visits to this restaurant consistently impressed me. For example, on one occasion, I had difficulty deciding what to order, and the main woman, who was also working as a bartender and waitress, took the time to explain the different dishes and make recommendations based on my preferences. She was knowledgeable and passionate about the cuisine, and her enthusiasm made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Additionally, the staff always greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer.

Because there are more than enough seats, reservations are not necessary. I'm writing this review because I've visited them several times, and each time they have given me friendly service.

Despite the large number of customers, the meals were prepared quickly. The costs are affordable for tourists. If you are close to Mai Khao beach, I would recommend that you try visiting this restaurant.😃

Huge variety - everything is pictured on the menu with English and Russian translation
Prices are half or less compared to the hotel (we were staying at splash 10 minute walk)
Good service with easy English , accepting credit cards
Came here again with the entire family
Second night in a row
Now that we didn’t need to learn the huge menu, we even enjoyed the dinner more than yesterday
The sea bass was such a great dish: it is a whole fish but they disconnect the meat of the fish from the bone before it is fried, it’s one of the best fish servings I got.
A few downsides:
Some ingredients were missing (no banana??)
The wooden Thai chairs are not comfortable
And the service is busy and slow when they are understaffed
Still- a huge recommendation for this place!!!

A hidden Thai restaurant in Phuket. Located in the deep alley to Mai Khao beach. The restaurant look local. Various of foods in seafood and southern style. Fast service. The taste was delicious.

Give this place a go one your way to the beach.

This is my first lunch when I was arrived Phuket, this place is a very simple and traditional Thai restaurant, the Seafood Tom yum is very fresh and clear, the waitress are so kind and polite, can speak in English and provide a wonderful service for us, even though this place is quite hot, but it is still a very good experience.

The food is very authentic to real thai food. You know the food is good as many locals eat here too. Extremely caring service. The price is extremely competitive even with other family owned restaurants. Very recommended if you want cheap and authentic thai food

Really impressed with this restaurant. Locals had recommended it. Huge menu, written in several languages plus pictures. The waitress spoke English so well and the food was all delicious. Great prices, lovely, clean, open restaurant, amazing food and top hosting. We definitely recommend.

We have just got back from the uk after a 2 week trip to Thailand. Our second hotel was splash resort and we preferred to eat in the local village to the hotel. We found this little gem on the first night. The staff are lovely and friendly they understand our language quite well and Every time we returned they were so happy to see us. The food is great, lots of choice and the milkshakes and fruit shakes are amazing!! A must eat. More Thai people eat here, we did find some places where practically over run with Russian family’s and it felt uncomfortable in certain places. Very loud and rude. Not here though. Would come again.

Really nice food! Loved it!

Menu has all the photos and different languages. Staff are good. Food is good. Lots of locals and tourists eat here. Good local food and well priced. Definitely recommend this place.

Good food and ambience and service too

They say you can find magical food places in Thailand. And this is one of them,. family run goodness. Delicious food, brilliant flavors.

If you looking for a local thai restaurant with good food, great service in english, russian, chinese and in thai. Do not look further, this is the place to be. Not too expensive and the food is quickly served. Also they have one of the best smoothies and fruit shakes on the island.

Fabulous food. Recommend the prawn papaya salad. Portions very generous. Child friendly and great staff . Would come again no problems. You should visit.

Excellent food for a low price!! I especially loved the coconut milkshake and mango juice. The place may seem a bit worn down but the food is worth it.

The fried ice-cream and coconut milkshake are a must try! The noodles soup were delicious too. Thumbs up to this hidden gem.

Authentic Thai seafood menu with Western and Italian. Outstanding value, friendly service, we had a delicious dinner and went back for lunch.
