Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked near Phuket Airport in the Sakhu area of Thalang District, this casual food court draws a predominantly local crowd — which tells you something useful straight away. It is the kind of place where a plate of pad see ew and an iced coffee costs 150 baht, and four dishes between travelers comes to little more than 300 baht. The food is straightforward, inexpensive Thai fare served quickly and without fuss.
The atmosphere is decidedly no-frills. Visitors should not arrive expecting an air-conditioned dining room or an English-language menu. This is a working food court catering to locals, and the experience reflects that. When staff are in a good mood and the kitchen is on form, the results are genuinely satisfying. On quieter visits, the experience can be more hit-and-miss, and some reviewers note limited patience for non-Thai speakers.

Reviews from Google
Dont expect a fancy dinner here, this is where the locals come for their hungry fix. We had a delicious meal here with 4 dishes for 310 bath
Standart airport. One minus, if you smoking, after security check in, not exist any smoking areas.
I've seen only locals here. Quite often that's a good sign. Not here. If you don't speak Thai dont expect them to do any effort. Also the food is just adding hot water to the instant noodle packages you can buy at the 7-11. Not bad if you're hungry, cheap. But also nothing special. Many better places down the same street.

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.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
