Food Court Central Phuket
Situated inside the Central Phuket shopping mall in Tambon Wichit, this food court brings together multiple vendors under one roof, serving everything from traditional Thai dishes to international options including wagyu beef, lobster rolls, and seafood. The space is notably well-presented, with Thai-style aesthetics and modern conveniences that set it apart from typical mall dining. It works well for groups with different tastes, as diners can order from separate stalls and eat together in the shared seating area. The experience here is mixed, as reflected in visitor feedback. Some find it a pleasant and convenient stop while shopping, particularly appreciating the setting and certain standout dishes. Others have noted that service can feel impersonal and food quality at some stalls is inconsistent, so it pays to browse the options before committing to a vendor. The range of cuisines available means there is usually something suitable for most tastes, though expectations are best kept in line with a casual food court rather than a full-service restaurant. Good to know: As this is located within a shopping mall, opening hours are likely tied to the mall's operating schedule, typically running from late morning through to the evening. Individual stalls may close earlier or run out of certain dishes by mid-afternoon, so visiting during peak lunch or dinner hours gives the best chance of finding a full selection. Cash is commonly the preferred payment method at individual stalls, so carrying small Thai baht notes is advisable.

Visitor Reviews
Thought I should honor a good mention of this food court at Central Phuket. They did great setting up the whole scene nicely with Thai style aesthetics, whilst maintaining very well their modern conveniences. Food was great. Thoroughly enjoyed my tasty noodle bowl.
We were shopping at the mall and wanted to stop for a quick (late) lunch. When we saw the food court we didn’t quite know what to expect since food courts are usually mid. Fortunately, the dish I had was really good. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen from the Japanese food stand. The broth was very sweet, tasty. The shrimp I got were big so that was nice. The only remark I have is that the noodles weren’t as fresh as I’m used to. Decent portion size and quality - price ratio was good. Paid 150 baht for the portion. The lady that made it was politie. The atmosphere of the food court could have been better. The tables were quite dirty and it can get quite busy but overall it was alright.
Experienced various cuisines and restaurants at this food court On an average, service was poor and unfriendly, and the food was average. For such a premium mall, I expected better in terms of service and tourist friendly engagement Restaurants start shutting down process at least an hour before closing time. There has to be a generic training given to all staff especially in the food courts on how to engage tourist, explain the cuisine, answer queries etc
Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
