Kusuma Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Patong

Please pay close attention: I travel the world in search of meals which exceed my expectation. My hotel is around the corner from Kusuma and one of our party is Muslim, so we were looking for a halal restaurant for dinner. We could barely even find it even using Google maps as it is down an unassuming side road.

This is the best and most flavorful table of food I have eaten in my life. This is not an exaggeration. The Tom Yum seafood soup is unlike anything i have ever tasted, with fresh prawn and squid. I picked a Chevron Barracuda from the available fish caught the same day, and the chef cooked it for me 2 ways, half panko coating with garlic and herb and half bbq. It was the best fish I have ever eaten. Crab was perfectly cooked and had a Malay flavour profile which was amazing.

I cannot recommend this small street restaurant highly enough. There is no air con, or fancy chairs, but this could be the best restaurant in Thailand and I wouldn't want you to miss out. 4 people with 8 drinks and all this food came to 1410 baht....

The famous halal restaurant in Phuket, the seafood was fresh and you can choose your own fish or other seafood.

Budget for 2 person is around 1000 baht, we order BBQ seabass, grilled squid, tempura prawn, seafood tomyum, stir fried kailan, 2 plain rice, Thai ice tea and ice coffee.

The fish is so fresh since you pick them by yourself from a live fish. Tom yum is also nice with a sour and spicy flavor. There's a complimentary chili and veggie for you.

At the ens of the meal, they will provide you with free watermelon cut, which I found is really nice.

You can pay by card if you don't like to bring a lot of cash, however there's 3% charges for credit card usage.

The only drawback is if you rent a car, you might find it's quiet difficult to find a parking spot. However, it's a haven if you rent a bike since the side of the road can be used as a parking spot.
