Thanoon Seafood

4.3(1,060 reviews)$$$$

Sitting beside the iconic Sarasin Bridge on the border of Phuket and Phang Nga province, this waterfront seafood restaurant draws repeat visitors with its authentic local cooking and memorable setting. The view of the bridge from both the open-air tables and air-conditioned dining room gives it a distinctive character that sets it apart from typical roadside seafood spots in the region. The menu leans into classic southern Thai coastal cooking, with standout dishes including yellow curry crab, fried fish with tamarind sauce, and braised pork. Preparations are unfussy and ingredient-led, reflecting how locals eat rather than catering to tourist expectations. The kitchen maintains a consistent standard that keeps diners coming back across multiple visits, and the staff are noted for accommodating service. Good to know: the restaurant offers both air-conditioned indoor seating and open-air tables, making it a comfortable choice regardless of weather or preference. Its location in Takua Thung district, just outside central Phuket near the Sarasin Bridge, means most visitors will need their own transport to reach it. Specific opening hours are not confirmed online, so checking locally or contacting ahead before making the trip is a sensible precaution.

Visitor Reviews

I loved every dish I had here. Definitely one of the best Thai dishes I've had in my life. Came back again after a year, still consistently excellent Service was excellent and very accomodating to tourists Seating inside is cooling. View was nice. Very calming and soothing.

A wonderful dining experience with a beautiful view and authentic Thai flavors. The food is consistently delicious, capturing the true essence of Thai cuisine. It’s my fourth visit, and this memorable restaurant never disappoints.

Tha Noon Seafood by Sarasin Bridge The restaurant offers both air-conditioned seating and open-air tables. You can take great photos with a clear view of the Sarasin Bridge, as the restaurant is located right at the foot of the bridge on the Phang Nga side. Seafood is fresh daily — just ask the staff what fish and specials are available today

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.
