    If you really want to eat, without waiting in line, try to arrive before 5pm. It's much easier and quicker to get a table. There is also plenty of parking next door. Fried garlic and the soup are what really make the food outstanding. Michelin guide is well deserved. It's a must-have experience when you come to Phuket.

    If you are a porridge fan, I would recommend this place. It is not only famous for tourists but also for local people. However. please come mentally and physically prepare to stand in a long queue. Alternatively, you can use delivery services. Another point is garlic, they served the best fried garlic (at least in my entire life). The texture, smell, color are just perfect. I have to deduct one star since the service that I received, was not so nice. The waitress told me that they don’t serve water and they have only sugary drinks. After a few minutes, I saw other guests got water from the waitress.

    Expect a huge lineup when you get there. The anticipation really set this place to a higher standard. Food is definitely good but not great. It’s on the Michelin guide and you should try it. Just don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed.

    Overrated. I wonder how they got their Michelin guide. Honestly isn’t worth queuing up for. We heard that it was famous so we ordered a whole lot, but was not impressed. Surely you can find cheaper places with more flavorful taste. Would probably recommend trying it once, just to know.

    The crispy pork is inserted a lot, not crispy. The rice porridge tastes normal. heavy on salty It's not as delicious as it deserves a Michelin rating. It's very oily. My younger brother came back with a stomachache until he vomited. My husband and two sisters felt that way. The man wearing the gold had quite a bit of manners. I haven't come back to eat.

    Popular local restaurant with very delicious taste of high quality ingredients 👍 Fragrant and umami taste of their soup, just 😋😋😋 Can not miss the crispy pork belly, highly recommended!! FYI, they serve pork organs in porridge and noodles. If you don’t want it, you can tell them and they will replace with minced pork-ball and crispy pork 👍👍👍✨

    This was one of the best restaurants and food in Phuket. The restaurant got one start of michelin. You must try the dried rice porridges with pork balls and crispy pork if you visit Phuket. The porridge was extremely unique and tasty. There were constantly waiting lines. The restaurant opens at five o'clock. The price was reasonable.

    What an institution this place is. Plenty of tables and fast service. I had the soup with the noodles and crispy pork and definitely had that crunch to it. Worth coming for lunch indeed.

    Went at 7:30pm and did not need to queue. Food was good! Especially like the crispy pork belly. Crowd came after we were done eating, around 8ish!

    Totally surprised with how good the food is! Must try out despite of the long queue. Come at odd hours will save sometime queueing. A Loggan ice, a dry boiled rice with soup & a rice noodles rolls total cost Baht 165! Very generous ingredients, should hv ask for more rice. Super impressed by the soup base made from large quantity of pork bones. 5star definitely.

    Luckily we didn't need to queue up for the table as we got there around 5.30pm. the place was almost full by that time. The broth was thick and flavourful, crispy pork is a killer, stomach and liver was nice too. It is indeed live up to the review we read online.

    A very famous dry porridge in Phuket. I came around 9 pm, waited in the line for 15 mins, waiting for the food for another 30 mins. Does it worth the wait? - Not bad. The dry porridge is very flavorful and the soup is very tasty. If you don’t wanna wait, come at around 5:30 pm

    Definitely worth being Michelin guided. The rice option is definitely worth the calories. The pig blood is also so smooth! If only the liver and other organs are not overcooked then it will be the best!

    I have to admit, the porridge here might be a bit overhyped. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations. However, I absolutely loved the crispy pork. The wait in line is incredibly long – I waited for nearly an hour for a meal that I found to be just average. I’d be willing to dine here again if it weren’t for the lengthy queue.

  • 5/5 Seah Jia H. 4 months ago on Google
    Found this restaurant on 小红书 and gave it a try. Loved the soup version more but I liked the soup for the dry version too as it’s so flavourful. It tastes like Singapore style Bak Kut Teh and reminds me of home. Crispy pork is good as well but would love it more if the skin is easier to bite. It’s crispy but it’s hard (if you get it).

  • 5/5 Oliver H. 10 months ago on Google
    Khao Tom Haeng (ข้าวต้มแห้ง) Very delicious. Every piece had different texture and taste. Crispy fried garlic and soup were great. Came at 10pm, didn't even wait a minute for the food to arrive. I needed 2 portions to fill me up properly, although they aren't too small.

  • 4/5 A K (. 11 months ago on Google
    Famous place in Phuket. It’s very crowded at night with long queue. Coming early around opening time (5pm-5.30pm) is recommended. The taste was good. Rich flavored soup and the meat were cooked perfectly. Worth a try if you come to Phuket!!

  • 4/5 Elizabeth C. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was ok and I enjoyed the noodle soup even though I had no idea there were going to be pig organs. Thankfully the soup still tasted good. The pork ribs in the pork rib soup had way too many bones and little meat though 😞 The other items were normal.

  • 4/5 Glen J. 8 months ago on Google
    We were lucky, we arrived just as a table was free. This place gets very busy in the evenings so you may have to wait a few minutes to be seated. You can order from the menu and you can buy appetizers from the vendors walking by. I had the dry boiled rice bowl, which is basically a rice soup bowl without the liquid. It was very flavorful. You almost can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

  • 5/5 Jason T. 8 months ago on Google
    We arrived early to avoid queuing. Ordered one of each from their mains menu, the kuay chap and rice porridge was good so we ordered extra. Pork rib soup was good too. Service was quick and fast, the waiters are quite attentive too. They prefer that you sit and not walk about as the floor was greasy and wet from rain. Expect the place to be hot.

  • 5/5 Flat T. 1 year ago on Google
    The best dry porridge i have ever had. This was my second time after 5 years, and it was still as good as my memory. Cant say much more than “you have to try” Other menus Lenk, pork ribs in pepper soup, is so so. Crispy pork is a bit above average .

  • 5/5 Malgorzata I. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredibly fast service. The menu has got English descriptions of the dishes but without prices. The prices are hanged on the wall, however, the names of the dishes are in Thai. While ordering we could choose whether we want the "inside" or just the pork meat. The dishes were good and the sauce served with crispy pork was superb.

  • 5/5 Michelle T. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time here but definitely not the last.... All my favourite food and the soup was just so so yummy. 😋 Very thankful to one of the server who is able to speak English. He was such a great help with the orders. 🙏

  • 4/5 Shokamoka 2 years ago on Google
    If you ever come to Phuket and have only visited beaches but not this eatery, then I guess we can't be friends. A very fast paced restaurant that opens just til after midnight. So fast that the only problem I have with this place is the wait for food itself. Lining and queue management is fast, ordering is quick and me paying for my meal is lightning. Could have been perfect buy yeah, even legends have setbacks.

  • 4/5 Monsicha P. 1 year ago on Google
    Phuket's 4 times winner of Bib Gourmand - They claim to be the Kow Tom Haeng (Pork organs rice broth with broth on the side) 🥣🍚🐷shop with the longest queue in the world....Store opens at 5pm til late into the AMs and would have queues forming from before then, sometimes. Where Bangkok has Jay Fai, Phuket has Go Benz (Uncle Benz). I'd say, it was flavorful, the broth was very aromatic, though low on white pepper that is typical of this style of pork organs broth. The organs were clean but a little overcooked, the minced pork did not skimp on ingredients and has a lot of meat. The rice was very interesting, fine grains, but not hard, the fried garlic was very aromatic. Crispy pork wasn't that crispy though. Overall, had a good meal, but does it compete with the Bangkok crew?...I'd say not really. The queue is truly long but not due to any operational failure on the stores part, it really is THAT popular.. somehow. It's unique, and good food, so no regrets, but would not queue for longer than 10mins just to have it next time.

    The food is very delicious. Deserved the Michelin 3 years in a row. Expect long wait for tables if you come during the peak time of the day. The staff are very organized and will help you get the table as quick as possible. You might have to sit separately if you have many people in your party.

👍 Really cool place which our kids loved. We had lunch and drinks, the drinks are a bit of a novelty and the kids in particular love them. The traditional Thai food for lunch was fantastic and the Western meals we had were just good. Overall a really nice place and I would recommend worth a stop.

👍 One of the popular place to get roti in Phuket. There are some interesting choices of roti such as roti banana and roti with raisins. The roti is crispy and chewy which I enjoy the texture a lot. The curry chicken is good and I love the curry taste. The biryani rice is just average.

👍👍 I was confused on how to order. So the dim sum, you're given a tray and grab whatever you want. For noodles and congee, you order from their menu they give you. Great food. Good to know the people and the owners Chinese heritage
