(Translated by Google) Several times they tried to get here, but they turned us around, it's too early, come later, everything is reserved, there are no places, and the tables are all free. There is always no space in the parking lot. I do not advise. (Original) Несколько раз пытались сюда попасть, но нас разворачивали, то ещё рано, приходите позже, то все зарезервировано, мест нет, а столы все свободные. На парковке всегда мест нет. Не советую.

The food presentation and service are 5 star. The duck was a little more rare than I liked. It was still very tasty. The WingBean salad had just enough spice, but wasn't too hot. The tuna my friends had was delicious. The Icy Shot I had for dessert was tasty. I recommend this place highly. Be careful when it rains, the floor gets wet.

Update October 2023 - we had a fabulous dinner again. Tatonka never disappoints. Highly recommended. Recently reopened after a long Covid-induced hiatus, this iconic restaurant in Phuket's Laguna area is back in full swing. With Owner-Chef Harold back in equally good form, food and service were top grade. Highly recommended 👍

Austrian born chef give you a great interpretation of thai dishes. Best is to make a menu of starters to share. Need to book in advanca as place is always full.

(Translated by Google) Food is not the most delicious. But pleased with the children's kitchen. (Original) Еда не самая вкусная. Но порадовало для детей кухня.

(Translated by Google) The chef and he, as I understood manager-boor! And it spoiled the whole evening, which began splendidly! If to be objective - an uncomfortable menu, most of the dishes liked Baramundi, the rest is so-so! ( Sitting should be closer to the exit, in the depths of the smell of cooking and hot! (Original) Шеф-повар и он же, как я поняла менеджер- хам ! И это испортило весь вечер , который начинался великолепно ! Если быть объективным - неудобное меню , из блюд больше всего понравилось Барамунди , остальное так себе!( Садиться надо поближе к выходу, в глубине пахнет кухней и жарко !

This place has a soul and the ambience is very cozy. Tatonka is a very unique restaurant concept, unparalleled with any other restaurant on the island. The service is also very personal and friendly. The starters are tapas portions, plated to be shared. The main course portions can be made smaller if you want to try several. Also, everything is so fresh. You can really taste the freshness of the food with every bite. Each dish feels like it comes with a lot of integrity. Their cocktails are also interesting and carefully crafted. I think Tatonka is a good place for dinner or for gathering with friends over drinks and tapas in a cozy setting. I loved it! Thank you Tatonka for a lovely evening.

(Translated by Google) Very sad food with little flavor, salt was lacking in all dishes. Starter, a plate of 4 assorted tapas of low quality, cabbage cut on all sides also without taste, bad tuna, squid or squid also of low quality, absolutely tasteless ... what a sad head chef, and says he worked for everyone... After main courses the same low quality. Taffy duck breast, my wife's fish too dry, done too much ... In the restaurant walking 3 dogs of the house ... We will not return, next there is another restaurant DeDos, it seems of a Frenchman, a tad more expensive but much more quality ... (Original) Comida muy triste de poco sabor, faltaba sal por todos platos. Entrante, un plato de 4 tapas variadas de baja calidad, la col cortada por todos lados además sin sabor, atún mal, calamares o calamarines también de baja calidad, absolutamente sin sabor... que triste jefe de cocina, y pone que trabajaba por todo mundo... Después de platos principales la misma baja calidad. Magret de pato chicloso, pescado de mi mujer muy seco, hecho demasiado... Por el restaurante andando 3 perros de la casa... No volveremos, a lado hay otro restaurante DeDos, parece de un francés, un pelín más caro pero mucha más calidad...

Amazing food and a cozy location.

Very calm and cosy place to enjoy lovely and romantic dinner. Menu has variety of western type of dishes including tapas, pasta, steaks etc. They also have a good choice of wines. i would say this place is for fine dinning. We really enjoyed dinner here.

Chef Harold and his team have consistently served fabulous food for the 16 years I have been a patron. We have spent many evenings sharing tapas and wine with friends here. Try the tuna tacos or eggplant cookies! And for dessert, the sunflower is absolutely delicious.

Went to Tatonka twice during the last 6 months. Really enjoyed the great food (no photos as we ate them fast and they’re delicious!) The appetizers are just so tasty (crab cakes, tuna, beef, beetroot…) Most importantly, they treated their dogs and cats really well! Meet Pepsi (the friendly black cat) and Vinci!

Nice restaurant with great food. Ruby steak is excellent, tapas could use a little lesser wasabi mayo.. Pizza is ok and the fried eggplant with goat cheese is lovely. Creme bulle with ice cream is an excellent dessert. Overall a very satisfying dining experience and I would recommend this place if your happen to stay at Laguna phuket area.

Just fluked into this place. Food is amazing, we had the chicken breast with green curry and fillet steak with mustard garlic gravy and green beens to share. They gave us 2 little steaks done to perfection, and the chicken with cashews was moist. Pretty much a must do of you enjoy really quality food.

What a fabulous find in Bangtao! The cutest place with a super friendly owner- Yen and a German chef- Harold Schwarz churning out stunning Michelin star type of food! The cocktails are superb but it’s the ambience that blows you away! A must go to while in Phuket

Had our family dinner here, pretty quaint place with a cozy ambience, that has a beautiful and unique menu, serves in a lovely presentation with impressive flavours. Such an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended.

Hidden gem in Laguna! Excellent food with super nice service. We accidentally found this restaurant on Google maps search and went there with low expectation as most restaurants in this Phuket touristy area are usually not to our liking. Tatonka turns out to be an amazing choice for our dinner. We ordered Tapas platter, they were awesome! Highly recommend the Eggplant cookies! Cajun pork was very delicious as well as Oriental duck. Every dishes came with a nice touch of local ingredient. Will definitely go back there again. ❤️❤️

Excellent food, a lot of vegetarian options. The starters (tapas- style) were just great! Very friendly staff and the chef. The prices are not too high either. Highly recommended!

Best calamari I've ever had. Super soft and delicious. Thai style bouillabaisse was amazing. Service is also very friendly. Will definitely come back

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, friendly staff, comfortable sitting. (Original) อาหารอร่อย พนักงานเป็นกันเอง นั่งสบาย

Good food but service was odd. Arrived 545pm and was told no food until 6pm; that's ok I will have a drink please and make my choice from the menu while I wait. Because I was dining alone this evening I was looked at oddly. Ushered to a table and the male server plonked my food down. The other younger female servers were much more polite. The blackened tuna taco were excellent and good value for money. The duck was good, cooked well (still pink) and bean salad was excellent. My virgin Pina colada was ok ... Nothing special X2. 1080bht in total so not cheap but worth it. Lots of dogs and cats in this place. And no air-conditioning- not comfortable.

Great food nice service for sure I will go back..

Fantastic

Came here for a crew dinner. About 10 of us. Personally I really enjoyed it and so did the rest of the table. We tried a lot of different things from the menu. All of the creations were creative and interesting. For the most part everything was delicious. There were a couple that came out looking great but lacking flavour (duck rolls and tuna taco) however they were by no means bad and the place was very very busy. Lots of us thought the simple red curry cauliflower on rice bite was the best. Some commented that the pizza was the best they have had. Being a chef myself I appreciated how perfectly the duck breast was cooked. The place was full up so booking is essential I imagine. Atmosphere good. Chairs very comfortable. Menu reasonably priced. Staff were attentive to what was going on. I also thought the theme was interesting. Ummm that's about it. I hope to visit again

Absolutely amazing, excellent dishes, plentiful, incredible menu, we would like to taste everything, best discovery on Phuket

A wonderful variety! We were very happy to visit the restaurant. The owner and chef knows how to serve fantastic, creative and delicious dishes with international and local ingredients in a way we have never had anywhere else. His globetrotting cuisine is a tasty and affordable variety from the usual restaurant menus. We liked the imaginative restaurant décor, which is somewhat reminiscent of the Polynesian style of Trader Vic's. For this, we also put up with the sometimes long waiting times between courses. It's a pity that you can't make reservations via WhatsApp or Line, because the phone is never picked up.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening here celebrating a birthday a few weeks ago. The food was just amazing, I loved the mixed entrees followed by one of the best steaks in Phuket. Great service and well run by the owner. Definitely recommend!!!

Absolutely fantastic!! Loved all of the starters!! Great seafood pasta, lava foundant and coffee! Good wine selection as well!!! Very very good food and service! 5+ out of 5 as they say!!

Taste good, not expensive and every crews are kind. Thanks!

Great food. Super service. Creative and nice taste. Very good value for money. Highly recommend. Brillant place, hidden gem in an area with lots of rip of horrible tourism traps. U have to good if u are a food lover!!!!

Tatonka is everything you want a restaurant to be. Good service, good atmosphere, and excellent food. Good for small or large groups. You will get what you pay for witch in this case is awesome.

Wow. What a fantastic find. Imagine tapas like you have never had before. All food was lovely, especially the pork cones and the tuna tacos. Please go.

(Translated by Google) Excellent food, nice restaurant and a very very nice owner. Definitely recommended. Pretty much the best food in Phuket! (Original) Exzellentes Essen, schönes Restaurant und ein sehr sehr netter Inhaber. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Ziemlich das beste Essen in Phuket!

Unique food with a twist Great food, great staff and nice owner. Had a very nice evening at Tatonka. Excellent food, Tapas chefs recommendation, catch of the day and Siam chicken were all very good.

Awesome food, especially Tapas and South African wine.

Great fresh produce made into sensational meals... Let the chef pick your food.

Great imagitive Food Lovely Host & Hostess

(Translated by Google) I've never eaten so well. The food was an exceptional treat and I recommend everyone to visit this restaurant. Our tapas mix was absolutely delicious and varied, the sashimi totally delicious and goat cheese and ice cream shot a great ending. At home we would have had to pay a small fortune for this meal, here including drinks € 30 pp (Original) So gut habe ich noch nie gegessen. Das Essen war ein außergewöhnlicher Genuss und ich empfehle jedem, dieses Restaurant zu besuchen. Unser Tapas Mix war absolut lecker und abwechslungsreich, das Sashimi total lecker und Ziegenkäse und Eis Shot ein toller Abschluss. Zu Hause hätten wir für dieses Essen ein kleines Vermögen zahlen müssen, hier inkl. Getränke 30 € pP

What a surprise. While Tatonka and Harold Schwarz's reputation have followed him around the island for years but we had never had the fortune to eat there. Our luck changed on our last trip to Phuket thanks to some good friends who insisted we pay Harlod a visit... and boy are we thankful. Out of the box, innovative ... local yet internationally sophisticated. Each dish a delight for the eyes and a taste bud conversation piece. We are looking forward to our next trip.

Interesting menu, different from a lot of the other restaurants. Food excellent, service great and we didn't feel rushed. Best meal of our holiday!

This restaurant MUST TO VISIT when you are in Phuket. I suggest you order as much TAPAS as they are so good, taste comes from all the world .

Very good food

Great food / excellent service

Always excellent !!!!

(Translated by Google) Authentic place with amazing kitchen, I will recommend (Original) Аутентичное место с потрясающей кухней,оекомендую

Everything was PERFECT! I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone! My boyfriend took me to this restaurant for my birthday and it was not a disappoint. We love every dishes. There were so many details in all the dishes. Fish and steak was cooked perfectly. The service was also excellent. There is nothing to complain. We would definitely come back again.

Tatonka is one of my favorit restaurants in Phuket. I go there every year and they never disappoints me. If its your first visit I reccommend the tapasmenu. Actually i also recommend that the second and 10th time.
