Authentic Thai food, fresh seafood, honest local prices. Made to order by Chef Maprang, steps from Phuket Airport — part of Friends Hospitality alongside Friends Hostel and Friends Retreat. No tourist markup, just real flavours.
Owner-chef Maprang brings her Ko Yao Noi family recipes to a kitchen steps from the airport. Every dish is made fresh to order with quality ingredients. Travelers eat here on their first and last night in Phuket — many pair a meal with a room at Friends Hostel or a bungalow at Friends Retreat.
Guests call the Pad Thai "the best in Phuket." The green curry, seafood stir-fries, and Tom Yum keep regulars returning. Everything is made from scratch — no shortcuts, no frozen ingredients, no tourist-inflated prices.
We're a friendly, casual Thai kitchen that focuses entirely on the food. Expect plastic chairs, handwritten specials, and flavours that taste like they should. That's the point.
Dishes are cooked fresh to order — expect 10 to 20 min during peak times. Spice levels are Thai-authentic by default (tell us "mild" if you prefer). Casual setting, genuine warmth, incredible value.
Both Friends Hostel and Friends Retreat have QR codes to browse the menu and place orders. Retreat guests enjoy direct room delivery to their bungalow. Hostel guests can order and collect from the rooftop dining area.
Real words from real diners. We don't need a platform to tell our story. The food speaks for itself.
Best Pad Thai of my life. I'm not exaggerating. Fresh, perfectly balanced, incredibly flavorful. Stopped right after landing and it set the perfect tone for the trip. Smiling staff too.
Absolutely delicious authentic Thai at honest prices. Smiling staff, generous portions, proper flavours, not the watered-down tourist version. We came back twice during our stay.
Fresh seafood and fragrant curries, real Thai home cooking feel. Casual spot right near the airport. Made to order so there's a wait but so worth it. Amazing value for quality.
