Why go, and how to do it well

Ton Mayom is a humble southern Thai eatery on Thep Krasattri Road in Ratsada, just north of Phuket Town, with its tables under the leafy canopy of the old mayom (star gooseberry) tree it's named after. The MICHELIN Guide gives it a Bib Gourmand for the Phuket town classics it cooks, and the dish its inspectors single out is the local fish, deep-fried and topped with a fragrant curry paste.

It sits in the cheapest price band on the MICHELIN Guide and is a lunch place as much as a dinner one, open from 09:00 to 20:00 every day except Wednesday. It's a short drive north of Old Town, so it pairs well with a morning on Thalang Road.

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.
