KIN KUB CHEF is a restaurant in Phuket Town we really love, found completely by chance. It looks simple, but each dish is plated fine-dining style, yet priced at just 159 baht — and the flavor is far from ordinary, delicious across every dish. The fish steak has crispy, charred skin but tender, moist, juicy flesh, genuinely impressive.

The shrimp cured in fish sauce looks clean and fresh, topped with a frozen seafood dipping sauce shaved into ice crystals — really delicious. The desserts have grand presentation too. Great prices — single-plate dishes start at 69 baht, and most main courses run just over 100 baht. Closed every Monday; book ahead during peak hours.
