MeeTonPoe Phuket Town
The thing to fix in your head before anything else is the clock. This place closes at 6:30pm, every day, so it's a breakfast, lunch or late-afternoon meal and never a dinner plan. Turn up at seven expecting a sit-down and you'll be walking back down Phuket Road hungry.
What you get is everyday Thai food in a casual room, priced mid-range, on a street lined with the Sino-Portuguese shophouses that make Phuket Town worth a day of your holiday. It isn't styled for foreign tastes and it doesn't need to be. Staff are used to visitors and will point you through the menu if you ask, which I'd do rather than defaulting to the dish you already know. Pair it with a slow wander through the old town and the markets nearby, and the whole afternoon works.

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.
