    Atmosphere is great, feels like you're eating in a rainforest-themed garden, and the water vaporizers add up to the atmosphere of a humid jungle, on top of being refreshing. A+++ for the decoration. Service and food-wise was a less pleasant experience. Food is good but some item such as their beef is not tasty and feels a tiny bit like chewing on rubber tyre. Although I did have plenty of beef meat, it was just not a great quality at all, so I'd recommend you stick up with chicketor shrimps: no disappointment there. Service-wise was a bit of a disappointment. They made me over-order although I did have the feel it would be too much food, they lied to me and encouraged me to order more for what I eventually did not need to eat, just to bump up my bill. They even forced me to order an additional mocha coffee which I didn't need, only because they would not accept my visa card for orders less than 500THB. Overrated, overspent and felt not good after the meal.

    My review was only about the cafe zone. The presentation was good. The service was great. Staff were attentive and nice. The drink needed to be improved. The bakery was not to my liking, quality wasn't worth the value. In fact. It's a spacious restaurant with good vibe and ambience. I'll find a chance to try the food later.

    Traditional Phuket foods with extended area to welcome not only for local but for foreigner. Foods is yummy, price ok but for my opinion either taste, dish decoration, restaurant surrounding also price are for tourist especially for non Thai.

    Really beautiful restaurant should call it Maimorn Garden. Really nice waterfalls and fountain. The fish underneath the dining tables was a nice touch The service was good and prices are reasonable and food was good. There is another Maimorn Restaurant that is quite different from this one but same owners

    The best thai food I have had in my trip here. The fried rice was fragrant and the Tom yum was on point if you have tasted true Tom yum. Everything else was tasty and price was reasonable. The place is big and spacious and it was more value for money than many other restaurants at the touristy places near the beaches. Will definitely come back again given the Opportunity.

    Maimorn and More. Starting out as a humble seafood stall and beer garden 23 years ago, Maimorn has grown into a culinary empire in Phuket with several restaurants and a resort under its umbrella. It’s flagship restaurant, Maimorn Forest sits on its own block in a prime spot just right next to the central bus station in downtown Phuket surrounded by lush gardens, ponds and several cozy spots to enjoy their seafood-focused offerings. A favorite among Thai celebrities visiting the island, Maimorn has slowly become a beloved institution that’s surely not to be missed.

  • 5/5 An X D. 5 months ago on Google
    Marvellous place to dine. Restaurant decoration is not limited to the fish swimming at the entrance but also a little jungle surrounding the dining area, providing guests with an exotic jungle feeling The food and the service is excellent. One especially good thing - there AREN'T any hidden price extras, such as service charge or tax - the menu prices are all inclusive.

    Food flavor is terrible. Ordered spicy and sour fried chicken but the chicken is so sour like it’s marinated with lemon only. Seafood price is ridiculous. The prawns, shrimp, and lobster are all similar price. The oysters are not fresh and the color looks dark, sad and depressed. The baked scallop also looks so dark like it went thru a life crisis. The salted egg squid is watery. The Tomyam soup is very sour and spicy like they forgot to add sugar. Price is on the higher side but not worth at all. Worst food I ever had in Thailand in general. Not sure how this restaurant get so high review in the first place but not recommended for tourist! Staff there can’t understand basic English also.

    You feel as if you're in a forest indeed !!! WOW , they did a really good job with this place, and I had to mention how beautiful it is 😍 I LOVE tom yum soup, and their's was veeeeery yummy, just authentic ! And the fish was really good. They have a green hot sauce that was very delish with the rice and food in general, so ask for it ! Must visit this place if u r planning to visit phuket.

    The place is very luxurious for Thai standards,with great atmosphere but we were so disappointed with the service. We arrived around 1,5 hours before the place closed, and it looked like we were not very welcome. The stuff was literally sitting above our heads, counting every bite of our food. This made us feel extremely uncomfortable. They could not understand much of what we were asking (for example, if they had bread to offer). Food was tasty (bit more spicy for me than usual thai I had in other places. Cocktails were quite basic for the price. After we paid and as the waiter saw me suffering from spicy food, she offered to bring me water that was additionaly then charged in a new bill. I believe in this occasion, and as we had quite a high bill, water could just be offered for free.

    Lovely setting BUT appalling service!!! Over 1 hour waiting to be served the first of 4 dishes ordered. Asked staff a number of times. Was told many times food was coming. Finally last dish came after about 75 minutes. Pineapple rice served in a pineapple but no pineapple in the rice. First and last time I will dine there.

    Food was fantastic, very tasty and using local ingredients. Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant!

  • 5/5 Andreas W. 1 year ago on Google
    We stumbled over this Thai restaurant while searching for a place open after 8PM and it turned out to be a great find: While in the front there was a sort of party with Karaoke going on, in the big garden there was plenty of spaced seating under the sky. Sitting among rain-forest trees and a pond alone was a welcoming change from the city. The food turned out to be excellent quality real thai food, nicely presented in a pictured menu in Thai/English. The (plenty) waiters were super attentive and always ready to explain food, or refill the glass of with water. I would always come back.

🫤 Not worth the money. Food is a 3/5 stars but I gave a 2 stars rating due to how expensive the food is compared to most restaurants in Phuket. The crab curry is essentially crab meat in green curry which did not taste amazing, the rest of the dishes were average and the only thing that was great was...

👍 More like 3.5 stars. This place was packed. But it was like a 15 mins wait for our party of 2. Tried their special dish, Mee Ton Poe. Which was okay, wasn’t what I was expecting. I think the they could’ve seasoned the dish better. What I liked the most was the pork intestine satay and chicken satay....
