Koi Restaurant

If you want the real deal, this is the place! Best authentic Thai food in Kata. Hot & fresh! And with it comes the quintessential chaos - People screaming, motorcycles zipping by, grumpy servers, kids running and playing, phones ringing off the hook, cats on the tables…Anthony Bourdain (RIP LEGEND) would have loved this place. It’s where the locals go, and you will quickly be addicted. And all at rock bottom prices. Totally awesome!!!

If you want to eat authentic Thai food, this is the place to go. Been here many times during our stay and they deliver good food every time.

Pad thai is absolutely delicious! We never had Suki yaki before, at first it was an interesting flavour but we enjoyed the dish. We also got the coconut milk curry which we weren’t a fan of. Reasonable prices, unlike the rest of Phuket. Friendly staff also Hope to return later in our trip to try more dishes!

We kept coming back to this little spot during our trip—it’s that good! Authentic Thai food at amazing prices (Pad Thai for just 60 baht!). Everything tastes homemade, fresh, and full of flavor. No, it’s not some fancy Instagrammable place, but that’s what makes it special. The staff are super kind and really put their heart into what they do. If you want a real, local food experience, don’t skip this place—you won’t forget it!

Just simple authentic local food, family style, recommended by our hotel host, we came two days back to back because its so good. We had morning glory aka water spinach stir fry (once regular, once with shrimp paste if you like that), minced pork stir fry (this is incredible, we ordered this twice), fried fish in lemon grass (twice), and steamed fish (not featured, but also great if you like steamed fish). Coming from somewhere coastal, i love that the fish here has been very fresh.

Excellent value, flavourful food. Came here twice during our short trip and really enjoyed both times.

Very good food and friendly service. Real Thai vibe. If you are looking for a restaurant with a michelin star, avoid this place, but if you want to eat good Thai food and feel the Thai atmosphere I can highly recommend it. The opinion is written two days after the first meal here, it went without any stomach revolution :) Enjoy!

A deliciously light clear soup full of fresh vegetables, a perfectly balanced Panang curry with just the right amount of spice, and a tasty Pad Thai. The prices are great, but the food is even better
