One Chun Cafe & Restaurant

We found this place on TikTok while researching great restaurants in Phuket. Seeing that it’s recommended in the Michelin Guide, my girlfriend and I decided to visit to experience a higher standard of food, and it did not disappoint. The quality was excellent and absolutely worth it. Prices are fair for a Michelin-recommended restaurant, although you can still find similar local dishes elsewhere for about half the price. That said, the overall experience made it worth it. The only minor downside was the wait to be seated, but the place is very popular and doesn’t have many tables, so the wait is understandable given the hype. We ordered the Penang curry, spring rolls, and red curry with roasted duck in coconut milk. Everything was top tier, probably the best food I’ve had in Thailand so far. Overall, a great experience and a well-deserved five stars.

Went because it kept showing up on my TikTok feed. Michelin-listed and known as one of the places to try. Ordered the crab with lemon sauce, chili shrimp, and papaya salad. The crab with the lemon sauce was incredible. The sauce was so good. It would be worth going back just for that. Papaya salad is a classic, but this was one of the better versions I’ve tried. Chili shrimp was good. Very busy. Waited about 40 minutes. Service moved fast once seated. Worth trying at least once. Not sure I’d wait that long again, but glad I went.

We had an absolutely fabulous meal in the very heart of old Phuket town. The place was surprisingly reasonably priced for the exceptional quality of the food. It was truly wonderful, and the overall experience was top notch. It definitely lives up to its reputation and all the accolades it has received, including recognition from Michelin guides. The cuisine offered here is a fascinating blend of Teochew flavors infused with the distinct Thai influences, and the dishes themselves were simply divine. We can't recommend it enough, it's truly a must try experience! Just be aware that the place can get very crowded, especially during peak hours, so coming early is strongly advised. And please don't forget your cash! No other forms were permitted when we were there.
