Siam Thai Restaurant
Tucked into Soi Kebsap close to Patong Beach, this well-regarded restaurant has earned a loyal following among visitors and locals alike for its commitment to fresh seafood and genuine Thai cooking. The grilled lobster is a recurring standout — competitively priced relative to the surrounding area — while the butter-fried crab draws consistent praise from returning diners. Beyond the seafood, the menu covers familiar Thai classics including papaya salad, chicken satay, and kra pao, all prepared with enough authenticity to satisfy those looking for more than tourist-adjusted flavours. The atmosphere sits comfortably in the mid-range bracket — relaxed without feeling rushed, and accessible without sacrificing quality. Portion sizes are noted as generous, and service receives positive mention across visitor feedback. The kitchen keeps seafood alive until preparation, which reflects a clear commitment to freshness and is worth bearing in mind when ordering. Open every day from 11am through to 1am, the restaurant covers everything from a leisurely lunch to a late meal after an evening out in Patong. During the peak season running from November through February, evenings tend to get busy, so arriving on the earlier side of the dinner hour is a practical way to secure a table without a wait.

Visitor Reviews
Culinary Highlights: The seafood here is incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. We indulged in several dishes, but the stars were the grilled lobster (which looked stunning, as pictured!), the succulent grilled squid, and the flavorful black pepper crab. Every dish was packed with authentic Thai flavors. A special shout-out must go to the Thai Milk Tea—it was truly awesome! Perfectly creamy, sweet, and refreshing, it was the ideal accompaniment to the meal. Service & Ambiance: The service was tip-top from start to finish. The staff were attentive, friendly, and clearly dedicated to ensuring a great dining experience. It's rare to find such high-quality hospitality. The ambiance is wonderfully family-oriented, making it a comfortable and welcoming place for everyone. If you're looking for an excellent, authentic Thai seafood experience in Patong Phuket with fantastic service, look no further than Siam Thai Restaurant. Highly recommended! - Singapore Family 🇸🇬♥️
My friend and I came here during our trip and we had a really great time. The prices are very reasonable and the overall experience was lovely. We ordered curry and lobster. My curry was excellent, full of flavor and exactly what I was hoping for. My friend said the lobster was a little bit on the dry side, but still good. I also really liked the ambience and the decoration of the place. It felt very original and had a nice atmosphere to relax and enjoy dinner. The owner was very kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. The juices we ordered were also amazing and very refreshing. If we ever come back to Phuket, we would definitely visit again.
Lobster is good and inexpensive if compared with other restaurants (1 middle size for 1000 baht). On the other side, mantis shrimp are a bit expensive (4 = 800 baht). All seafood is alive at moment of choice, so you can be sure you will eat very fresh food. Everything we have try was very tasty and well cooked. Papaya salad and fried rice with seafood among the best I have ever eaten in Thailand. Highly recommended.

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.
