The Pad Thai Shop — Restaurant in Karon

I would give this place 6 stars if I could!

We ordered the Prawn Pas Thai and it was 🤌🏻😋 DELICIOUS!!! Solid 10/10! You can customise your own spice level and the peanuts are put on your table! We also ordered the braised beef noodles soup and you can ask more more soup! 10/10 for this too 🤌🏻🤤

We went with the thick rice noodles (pad Thai) and fine rice noodles (beef noodles) as recommended by the staff there. The beef noodles was unexpectedly good! Loved the taste of the broth and it’s not too salty, just nice!

Self service here so you gotta take your own food once it’s cooked, they’ll call you so you gotta look out for their signal. Portion here is really big but my friend and I were really hungry hence we managed to finish both the pad thai and braised beef noodles haha 🤭

This warung is really a gem! Lots of locals and yes it’s definitely worth coming all the way to Karon for their pad thai and beef noodles here! But do take not that most shops are closed on Sundays in Karon, my friend and I forgot to check if it’s opened on a Sunday (I assumed it would be opened since Phuket is such a touristy place, but I was wrong 😅)

They also sell some local snacks which I bought back as souvenirs, tasted alright (not the best snacks) but it’s worth the price, only 49 baht per pack...

If you’re not staying around Kata Beach, it might be a bit of a trek to get here considering there is no metered taxis around. I was staying 1/2 mile away so it was about a 10 minute walk.

I believe they are closed on Fridays. Open from 8:00am - 6:00pm. It was so good I came back here a 2nd time. My only disappointment is that they were limited on the items they had available. There’s no AC but some fans inside.

Anyways, you order first. I recommend getting any of the Pad Thai (a whopping 50 baht). It’s different from the others- I think they use the vermicelli noodle. Idk-I’ve attached a pic because it’s not the usually fatter noodles. With the pad Thai, they give you a side plate of bean sprouts and lime.

Then the beef krapow (also 50 baht) with the perfectly cooked rice is amazing. The portions are very generous.

There is also a really yummy flavorful chicken soup that is complimentary - Don’t forget to get that. The longest I ever waited was about 20 minutes and that’s because it was a full house but it was well worth the wait. Pick out your own drinks at the refrigerator. After you’re done eating, head to the register and pay. It’s the best and cheapest food ever! I definitely recommend...

Had our chance to try this famous store today, and since it’s located at the main road you might need to park your bike/car by the road side if you came with own transport.

Once arrived we ordered Prawn Pad Thai, Non spicy fried rice, Chicken Kra Pow and Beef Kra Pow 💥 (local/Thai spicy) and also Topped All Soup with no rice/noodle.

Pad Thai is balance with the expected flavour and if you find it’s not spicy enough, they also provided you all the chilli 🌶️ condiments at each table.

Fried rice tastes good, we can taste the ‘char’ and found that find it’s comforting.

Chicken Kra Pow and Beef Kra Pow also the star of this store, for me personally I also added not one but two sunny side up 🍳 to accompany my Beef Kra Pow 💥

We definitely will be back given the fact food and the crew and owner of this store were really friendly+helpful explaining to us which chilli 🌶️ condiments should be paired with food we ordered.

Also we notice this store is famous with locals, when we visit earlier today perhaps only 20%...
