“ A long-standing local favorite in Phuket with a beautiful view and tasty, traditional-style dishes — though the flavors have slightly changed over time. Personally, I’ve loved their fried bananas and beua tod (deep-fried local herb fritters) for years. Highly recommended! หรอยย!! ”

This is one of the real local restaurant in Phuket which has been operating for more than 50 years. They have very good coffee. Do not miss it, if you are a coffee lover. ”
“ Trunk-Ka Cafe - Local Thai Restaurant Phuket. Recommended by the locals, and also the private tour driver took us here. They all said that this restaurant is truly authentic and long-established in Phuket. It was heavily rain when I arrived. The food is amazing, and very friendly and attentive. Very cheap too. I see lots of Thai customers here so it’s a good sign. Really enjoyed! Must try! ”
“ I’ve visited Tunk-Ka Café more than five times while in Phuket, and it never disappoints! The restaurant offers a stunning view surrounded by beautiful nature. You can even book a table with a breathtaking panorama of Phuket Old Town and beyond. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food and drinks menu is definitely a must-try when visiting Phuket. My favorites are the Phuket Crab Curry with small noodles and Ko Pi Chum (coffee mixed with tea) truly unique and full of local flavor. Don’t miss the Moo Hong and other delicious dishes as well. Thank you for creating such a lovely restaurant , it’s a place I’ll keep coming back to again and again! ”
