A great local restaurant in Phuket Town ✓
One Chun Restaurant (One Chun means ‘Monday’ in Thai) is one of the best Thai restaurants in Phuket Town. Serving southern Thai and uniquely Phuket cuisine without compromise. They first succeeded with locals who are not easy to impress when it comes to their food.
The young owner, Khun Prang, found the right formula: great food, reasonable price, fun atmosphere, excellent service and good location. Now you too can enjoy real Thai food the way we love it here.
One Chun received a ‘Bib Gourmand’ rating from the Phuket Michelin Guide. Bib Gourmand means ‘friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.’
One Chun is fun and cosy, with a friendly atmosphere for family and friends. A special mention is made of the creative retro decor with brick walls covered with old clocks, vintage radios, old television sets from the 60s, and even an old cinema camera.
But ultimately, what matters most is still the food! We went to the restaurant several times: this is the real deal, Thai food as it should be. When you order, the staff will ask you how spicy you like it, but make no mistake, for some dishes are known to be fierce if you say, ‘I like it spicy because I’m no beginner and I’m a real man!’ Get ready for a blast. You have to see how many locals enjoy the place to know this is the right place when it comes to southern food.

If you need help, the team speaks enough English to help you with ordering and will even suggest some dishes.
There is, of course, a lot more on the menu than what we listed here. The best is just to let your appetite and your eyes decide for you, as we always do. Just remember: don’t always pick the things you already know; be daring! It’s more fun to try new things and maybe, just like me, you might discover your new favourite dish here!
Summary
On Sunday, the location is very convenient as it is precisely where the Phuket Walking Street Market starts at the intersection of Thalang Road and Thepkasattri Road. One Chun restaurant is perfect for a nice dinner before a visit to the Street Market. Also great for a break after a day of exploration of Phuket Town. If you drive a car, be aware that the parking space around the restaurant is minimal on Sundays. You can try to park on the perpendicular street ;).
