Talung Thai Restaurant | Paresa Phuket — Restaurant in Kamala

Overall Experience The experience at this restaurant was quite mediocre and didn’t meet expectations.

Food • We ordered four main dishes recommended by the server. Although the restaurant claims Michelin standards, the taste didn’t even match that of street food. After a couple of bites, it became difficult to continue eating. If you’re looking for good flavor, you’d be better off going to the Patong Night Market.

Environmental Issues • During the meal, bugs would fall from the trees above. Some landed on our heads, while others fell onto our plates. About three to four bugs dropped every minute.

Pricing • Water comes at an additional charge, costing about 280 baht per bottle.

View • The view was average and didn’t provide the expected cliffside ocean scenery.

Service Issues • The service was generally slow. After paying in cash, it took the staff 10 to 20 minutes to return the change

Conclusion The overall experience didn’t live up to Michelin standards, so I would advise others to carefully consider...

Food was overpriced. It wasn't bad as the ingredients used were good, but the way it was cooked tasted one dimensional and had nothing too special going on. The vegetables in the main course including the papaya salad was exceptionally bad. Expected much more from a Michelin star menu. The best thing we had was probably the tiger shrimp in the beginning.

As for the service, the people was very friendly but the wait time was incredibly long for the food to come, there was approximately a 20 minute wait between each meals, especially from appetizer to main course was exceptionally long and we were starting to get full waiting for the main course.

All in all, The 5000 Baht spent was definitely not worth the experience. Would...

Unfortunately, the restaurant/ hotel is very very far uphill from the main road and if you want to leave they call only a "special" taxi or taxi mafia. This taxi charge you 1000 thb to a destination nearby (like an airport ride). Don't see a point to get 250 eur bill and then cheat clients with taxi. Comparing the food they serve and poor service, it is definitely not worth. Additionally to that, they charge 20% extra for service and tax. Definitely do not...
