Phuket is a resort town in the South of Thailand, and if you go to this restaurant and ask for a specialty of the region they will suggest chicken with spicy mint. 
That’s a good representative of the cuisine served at this restaurant – hot and spicy but more than just hot – it’s fragrant and flavorful, with layers of sensations in every bite. This restaurant hidden in a commercial building doesn’t have the architectural flourish of many other Thai restaurants in the area, but they have the authentic flavor that all the rest are trying to achieve. Check the specials board as you enter, because they offer seasonal dishes – a sign they’re true to the traditions of a cuisine that prizes fresh flavors and variety.
