Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked along Phangnga Road in Phuket Old Town, Surf & Turf by Soul Kitchen is an intimate evening restaurant drawing serious attention for its fusion approach to seafood and grilled meats. Dishes like wagyu beef have drawn particular praise from diners, and the restaurant has received nods toward Michelin recognition — a reflection of the kitchen's evident passion and technical care. The cooking balances bold flavors with thoughtful presentation, setting it apart from the broader dining scene in the area.
The atmosphere is relaxed but considered, well-suited to couples and small groups looking for a meaningful dinner rather than a casual bite. Service is generally attentive, and the wine selection adds to the appeal for those wanting a complete dining experience. Pricing sits at the mid-range level, which feels appropriate given the quality on the plate, though some visitors have noted that service consistency can occasionally fall short of expectations.

Reviews from Google
So impressed with every dish I tried, especially the first one and wagyu beef – I am sure if you come here you will feel the same as me as their passion behind the cooking, and the flavors are absolutely amazing! Both chefs created an extraordinary dining experience for all of us. I’ll definitely be coming back again! The only challenge I faced was parking. If you plan to visit, I recommend taking Grab or arranging parking in advance before reaching the restaurant.
Best intimate restaurant with brilliant fusion food in Phuket 🩵 Service is amazing too. And good choice of wine. 🪑 Advance reservation is required Big thx to all team and good luck 🍀 with best wishes sincerely yours Tom
The food is really good and definitely a highlight in Phuket Old Town. Unfortunately, the service doesn’t come close to matching the quality or the prices. Reservation was unnecessarily complicated and we still had to wait for our table. During the meal, basics were off (a missing knife at my seat, slow response) and a side dish arrived far too late. Friendly staff, but not very attentive. Worth visiting for the food — just don’t expect strong service.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
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.
