Chom Chan by One Chun Restaurant

Great Thai Food in Phuket Town ✓

Chom Chan by One Chun is an excellent Thai restaurant that serves a great selection of Phuket dishes and local specialties. It’s a cosy small house with a garden almost hidden on the outskirts of Phuket Town and can easily be missed when driving by.

Chom Chan received a ‘Bib Gourmand’ rating in the Phuket Michelin Guide. ‘Bib Gourmand’ means ‘friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.’

Despite being hard to find, Chom Chan is not unknown to people living in Phuket. First, it received a BIB mention from the new Michelin Guide, and its sister restaurant One Chun in the historical centre of Old Phuket Town, by the same owner Napapatch Chetsadawal, is extremely popular.

The atmosphere at Chom Chan is, however, completely different from One Chun. Where One Chun is buzzing with a permanent crowd of tourists (lots of Thai tourists, actually), Chom Chan is more quiet and discreet, addressing local families who know where to find great and spicy Thai food.

What to Order

The food is excellent, and the menu is extensive (but not illustrated at all, unfortunately), so you had better show the staff what you want to order from our page. The dishes served are mostly from Phuket and without compromise. If you are adventurous, try Gaeng Som or Jungle curry, some of the most loved Phuket dishes that taste strong and are so spicy that they can take your breath away.

If you can eat spicy food, this is your chance to sample something local. Of course, all the classic Thai dishes are on the menu, but the point of travelling is to experience local life, and food plays a very big part in Thailand. Overall the experience was very enjoyable, the food delicious and well priced, and the staff very friendly and helpful.
