Golden King Southern Traditional Foods — Restaurant in Talat Nuea

This restaurant is located diagonally across from the main bus station that goes to Patong Beach, Karon Beach, and Kata Beach. It’s very easy to find, and you can enjoy meals here in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.

Highlight 1: No excessive sugar is added—it’s the authentic taste of Southeast Asia.

Highlight 2: Exceptional value for money—a noodle dish and a rice dish together cost only about 130 THB. It’s incredibly affordable.

Highlight 3: Although the food takes 10–20 minutes to be served, everything is freshly made. It has the “wok hei” (stir-fry aroma) that Chinese people love! It’s also great for people from other countries who want authentic homemade flavors.

Highlight 4: Besides main dishes, they also serve a variety of delicious coffees.

Excellent avocado shakes! Actually, ice cold Thai teas were great too. Don’t tell too many people that this restaurant is a winner because I’d hate for it to lose its local...

Authentic burmese cuisine in the heart of Phuket Old town. The food is flavoursome and prepared with care and attention. The front of the house staff is also polite and knowledgeable and they make amazing fresh fruit smoothies (we had watermelon and pineapple). The waitress who served us spoke perfect English and talked us through the different Burmese dishes with great passion. The food is homemade and freshly cooked by the chef in front of you. Highly...
