ร้านพิเศษ สาขาภูเก็ต Piset Restaurant Phuket

4.6(1,230 reviews)$$$$

Tucked inside the Siri Hotel on Yaowarad Road near Phuket City Hall, this seafood restaurant has quietly built a devoted following among those who seek it out. Its location in central Phuket Town places it away from the tourist circuit, giving it a more local character that regulars clearly appreciate — at least one visitor made the hour-long journey from their hotel three nights running. The menu leans heavily into seafood, with grilled prawns, fish cakes, and crab dishes drawing the most praise from diners. Three styles of crab are on offer, and the crab meat fried rice comes particularly recommended as an accompaniment. The kitchen's strengths shine in its grilled and fried preparations, and the food is frequently described as exceeding expectations given its understated setting. As with any seafood restaurant, freshness can vary, and at least one diner raised concerns about the mud crabs on a specific visit, so it is worth ordering from the menu's more consistently praised items if freshness is a priority for you. Pricing sits at the mid-range level, making it accessible without feeling like a compromise on quality. Because opening hours are not publicly listed online, it is worth calling ahead or confirming times before making the journey, particularly if travelling from outside Phuket Town. Given its hotel location, the dining environment is comfortable and suitable for groups or families.

Visitor Reviews

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!

We went here for the crab from the recommendations . It did not disappoint. There were 3 different crab styles that we tried. They were all really good. Don’t miss out on the crab meat fried rice and the tom yum soup. Complimented each other really well.

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!!!

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.
