Ngor Kah Kee

4.5(93 reviews)

Tucked along the heritage streetscape of Thalang Road in Phuket Old Town, Ngor Kah Kee offers a relaxed open-air setting that feels very much in keeping with its historic surroundings. The venue blends casual dining with a bar atmosphere, drawing in visitors who stumble upon it mid-afternoon and end up staying well into the evening. The cocktail program is a genuine draw — drinks like espresso martinis and old fashioneds have earned consistent praise, and the bar staff bring a personable, attentive energy to the experience. On the food side, visitors describe the menu as tasty and notably affordable by Phuket standards, with standout mentions going to dishes like the chicken wings. The open-air layout and old town setting give the place a laid-back charm that suits both a casual meal and a proper evening out. It sits comfortably between a neighbourhood bar and a dining spot, making it a flexible stop at different times of day. Ngor Kah Kee is open daily from 10:00, with slightly extended hours on Sundays until 22:30. Those planning a leisurely evening should aim to arrive with time to settle in — at least one reviewer noted feeling hurried toward the end of a visit, so coming earlier in the session rather than close to closing is worth keeping in mind. Checking the Facebook page before visiting is advisable for any updates on hours or specials.

Visitor Reviews

We were looking for somewhere for a cocktail and a street view and found this place. Beer is the bartender and his drinks were spot on. Espresso Martini and Old Fashioned were perfect. Beer is a great guy and taught us a few tricks on getting better photos from our phone. Ask him for photo tips and get yourself a great drink and a chat.

The best cozy restaurant in the old Phuket town. Their food is so tasty. The price is very low compared to other restaurants in Phuket. The staff is very friendly and the service is fast. Their menu has a lot of food varieties and a good collection of beverages. I recommend this restaurant for everyone visit the Old Phuket town.

Was just supposed to pop in for a beer as we weren’t sure where to eat, but Beer (the bar tender) recommended this place — great call. He even surprised us with a cocktail! The chicken wings were 10/10, and the chicken with cashew nuts was slightly sweet but delicious. Great service from Beer. Would definitely recommend.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls

Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Arrive Early or Late

Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.

Be Cautious with Tailors

Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
