A True Local Restaurant in Phuket Town
Jok Samui Restaurant (เนเธเนเธเธชเธกเธธเธข เธชเธฒเธเธฒ 1) sits near the Jui Tui Temple intersection where Ranong Road meets Pattiphat Road in Phuket Town. The small shophouse is old and packed with character. Faded green tiles, humming ceiling fans, and two stainless steel tables set the scene for bowls of comfort that draw a crowd each night.
Doors open at 5 pm and close at midnight. In that seven-hour window, the team moves with the speed of a market stall. The chef prepares rice porridge in front of the shop, another person seasons, and a third delivers to each table. Waiting lines form but rarely last longer than a few minutes.
The main dish is jok, a smooth rice porridge topped with minced pork, soft egg, ginger, and spring onion. Regulars tear hot patonggo doughnuts into the bowl for extra taste. Khao tom rice soup, mee suah noodles, and instant noodles round out the short menu. Prices sit between 30 and 80 baht, making a full meal cheaper than most coffees on the beach.
The word โSamuiโ is only a catchy add-on. The family has always cooked right here in Phuket. Simple space, fast service, honest flavour, and late hours keep Jok Samui busy nightly.โ
