Why Travelers Love Tu Kab
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Food was excellent! Serious cooking skills. It’s a but pricy if you take one dish alone, they are supposed to be share. The proportions are more than generous. The pork was absolutely crazy delicious 😝 A Phuket-style restaurant that’s really famous among tourists definitely worth a try! The flavor of each dish is amazing and truly delicious. The place is beautifully decorated in Phuket style. The only thing that could be improved is the staff communication. If there’s an issue or discussion, it would be better to talk privately rather than in front of customers. A solid restaurant with solid entries. Almost all the food we ordered was good, especially the local stewed pork, everything else was just good but nothing to write home about. The restaurant was equipped to serve children unlike most of the restaurants I visited in Phuket (had high chairs and toddler cutlery). The only big minus, and it was a big one was that their menu listed steamed snapper, but they served us sea bass and tried to argue with us. Thankfully a quick Google image search proved that we were correct. They refunded the order and that was the end of it. No apologies whatsoever for such a miss. Make sure if you order the snapper you get a snapper.

Tu Kab Khao in Phuket Old Town ended up being one of those spots that feels a little fancy but still homey. It’s inside this old Sino-Portuguese house with velvet chairs and high ceilings, and honestly just a nice place to sit down after walking around the street market. The vibe is laid-back, and our server, Kan, couldn’t have been nicer, she kept checking in on us, explained a couple of dishes, and just made the whole thing feel even better. Food-wise, the pork belly stew was the star, tender, rich, and exactly the kind of comforting dish you want with rice. The salt and chili prawns were another favorite, with just the right amount of spice and crunch. Nothing felt overdone, just simple dishes cooked really well. Between the atmosphere, the food, and Kan’s friendliness, it’s definitely a place I’d go back to next time I’m in Phuket.
