Food Court Central Phuket
Pick your stall carefully and you'll eat well. Pick badly and you'll be poking at something oily and overcooked, wondering why you didn't just walk another fifty metres. That's the honest read on this food court inside Central Phuket, where one person raves about a shrimp tempura ramen with big prawns for 150 baht and the next is describing fried chicken with cashew nuts that came out hard as stone.
The setup itself is genuinely nice. Thai styling, air conditioning, plenty of shared seating, so a group can split across different counters and still sit together. The spread runs from standard Thai plates to wagyu steak, oysters, lobster rolls and Japanese noodles. From what people report, the grilled oysters and steak land better than the seafood skewers, and the squid in particular gets flagged as chewy and bland. Service is functional at best. Don't come expecting anyone to talk you through a menu.
It's a shopping break, not a destination meal. Judge it as that and it does the job.

Reviews from Google
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.
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
The fried chicken with cashew is the worst I ever tasted. Both the rice and chicken are hard as stone. It is also very oily.

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.
