Every now and again one finds a "hidden gem," where all the ingredients for a memorable evening are in place. That is why Ka Jok See, arguably Phuket Town's most popular restaurant, has been drawing the locals, and a few lucky tourists, for the past 14 years. The building is an 18th century Sino-Portuguese treasure with simple decor, but a charming sense of style. Dishes such as the succulent prawns and Jurassic Salad are prepared in a traditional Bangkok style and cooked with a flair that raises even the simple dishes to new heights.

Ka Jok See - The Ultimate Tourist Trap
If overpriced, mediocre food, accompanied by oldies music is your thing, rush down immediately to this epic tourist trap. The owner's simple method is to "make relations" with all the hotel concierges around the island. And guess what - when you as a hotel guest then ask that same concierge about the best, coolest and hippest "original" Thai restaurant, guess what he will tell you. It's his 30%, after all - not to mention the overpriced hotel car he will recommend to bring you into Phuket town (45 minutes away from all major hotels) and back. The most telltale sign is that when entering the place, all you see is tourists, tourists and more tourists. Not a single Thai local, nor any of the over fifty thousand expatriates living on Phuket will ever step foot in there. Think about that, and then eat elsewhere. Your stomach will thank you. Oh yeah - bring lots of cash - the place doesn't accept cradit cards either .....
Would you recommend this to a friend?
No
Why? / Why Not?
Lots of much better Thai Restaurants on the island - RAYA in Phuket Town for example, or SEA HAG in Patong Beach, SILK etc etc.
