Piset Restaurant Phuket

Came here on my first night in Phuket, and then came here again every night for 3 nights in a row even though it's an hour journey to the restaurant from the hotel I was staying in, and another hour journey back! That's how much I love the food here. The crab meat fried rice was the best I've had (and I've had lotsa crab fried rice in many places). The other absolute must order dish is the steamed crab with roe - they cook it so well here! The other dish that surprised me was the river prawns with glass noodles. Many I've tried just have soy sauce taste in the glass noodles. But this restaurant cooks it so well - could taste the river prawns in the glass noodles. Seafood was really very fresh! Service by the 2 female staff was excellent! I asked for extra soup and no spring onions in my fried rice on the first night - and the subsequent 2 nights, they remembered my requests even before I made them! Very friendly service, always with a smile!

The pictures don’t do it justice!!! Grilled prawn was to die for and the fish cake was so good we ordered 3!!! I’m stuffed. So satisfying. Extremely underrated!!!

I am really disappointed at the steamed mud crabs, which tasted a little bit smelly and soft. I was born in an island, and I know what are fresh or not. I am pretty sure that these mud crabs were frozen or dead for a long time before cooking. However, as you see in the picture, there are some live crabs in the glass. It seems that live crabs are only for seeing and dead crabs in the kitchen for customers.
