The best cheap eats in Phuket.
Perhaps everybody can add their favourite cheap eat in Phuket.
I will kick this off with Kota Mun Kai Restaurant in Phuket town.

I have removed a number of off topic posts that were starting to deflect into personal bickering. Please debate the topic ‘The best cheap eats in Phuket.’

I 2nd that
there is a small thai restaurant near the very old mall on the circle in phuket town heading towards the Closed Robinson on the right<
best chicken, red pork, moo gorp and rice on the island
been eating there 30 + years
its now up to 80 baht for the dish & a coke!!!

another good one is in Kamala, main road "duck spicy" across from the 7/11 at the intersection 
excellent Thai food ( not watered down for farnags) at thai prices

Hey - who are you calling a farnag?

We ate at Zurich bread cafe while we were there, don’t know if it’s cheap but it was pretty good.

Pad Thai in Banzaan market - the husband/wife(?) stall at the Nanai end - I have it with chicken at B70 and other varieties are available. It's all the guy does every day!

 

I can't handle spicey food and so pad Thai is about as adventurous as I get but in many places it turns into a solid congealed lump as it cools off - this guy uses just the right amount of liguid to keep it moist.

Was that the one in Kathu? I keep meaning to have a look but it's a bit of a schlep from Kamala.

 

The only thing that I look forward to when leaving Phuket is a BLT sandwich and coffee from Zurich Bread in the departures at HKT - not cheap, but airports never are.

Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions on a sushi place in Old Town Phuket that serves good, reliably fresh, sushi? Would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

Little edo, tojiro/soyon my goto sushi joints. Zen in the mall maybe.

I'll add wecafe to the list. Lots of faults but the Myanmar service is good and the food is generally decent and cheap.

Add fold sourdough and cafe mahlzeit for bacon and eggs
