Good location + Great atmosphere. The restaurant is nice and cosy. It is also spacious that make you feel comfortable while having meal. The food are all excellent. Mostly are local specialties that the chef make them unique and luscious in style. The service is superb. Staff are diligent and professional. Serving pace is fast and the prices are reasonable. Another good recommendation to try out when in Phuket town. 👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-visit in Old Phuket Town! Kanta Phuket is a hidden gem that combines luxury with a relaxed, chill atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after exploring the charming streets of Old Town. We ordered the curry chicken leg, which was incredibly tender and packed with rich curry flavor. The crab meat fried rice was delicious and satisfying. But the highlight was the Fantastic Kanta Blend Pot Tea — it smelled like a fine perfume and tasted just right. Another standout drink was the Yu Delight, super refreshing and a great complement to the meal. We ended with the pandan coconut cake, a light and fragrant dessert that wrapped up our lunch beautifully. The best part? The price is only half of what you'd expect, but the taste is triple. Amazing value for such high-quality food and ambiance. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu! Walking through Phuket Old Town feels like stepping into a living story. And Kanta is one of its sweetest chapters. Peranakan cuisine was born from the meeting of Chinese settlers and local Thai-Malay families — a blend of cultures, memories, and heirloom recipes. At Kanta, those dishes are reimagined with softness and depth… each plate a gentle whisper from the past, made to nourish both body and heart. Taste the heritage of Phuket — delicate, warm, unforgettable 👌

Had lunch at Kanta Phuket and really liked it. The soup dumplings were delicious, full of flavor and served fresh. The place felt clean and cozy, and the staff was very polite and welcoming. Service was quick, and they checked in to make sure everything was good. Overall, a pleasant spot for a relaxed meal with great food and warm service.

Such a cute spot with wonderful attentive and engaging service and staff. The food and drinks were all delicious and we even had recommendations curated to us by the wonderful Scarlet! The dish portions are small but mighty, we ordered 4 dishes to share between 2, with rice, and we couldnt finish it all haha. Definitely worth the price and a visit!
