Ko Ang Seafood

Tasty food, cheap & authentic. Hong Mo is perfect with rice. The yellow curry is actually KengSom and the spicy level is definitely not for Non Asian 🤣

I’m writing this review as a serious warning to other diners. My girlfriend and I visited Ko Ang Seafood Restaurant in Phuket just a few days ago, and the experience turned into a medical emergency. She ordered the horseshoe crab, and within 24 hours she experienced severe vomiting and diarrhea. That alone would be concerning, but the situation escalated dangerously. She began experiencing symptoms consistent with neurotoxin poisoning – her fingers swelled, went numb, and became extremely painful. We had to seek urgent medical care, and doctors advised us that the food may have caused kidney complications as a result of potential toxicity from what she ate. This is not just food poisoning – this was life-threatening. After researching more, we discovered that horseshoe crab poisoning is a documented and very serious risk, and should never be served without rigorous safety protocols. Ko Ang failed this responsibility. To make matters worse: • Dogs were seen running around the kitchen area, completely unacceptable for any restaurant, let alone one that allegedly holds Michelin recognition. • The food itself was overrated and not worth the hype. Poor flavor, inconsistent freshness, and unsafe practices. This place is dangerous, not just disappointing. We strongly urge all travelers and diners to avoid eating here, especially the horseshoe crab and any raw or specialty seafood. Ko Ang Seafood should be reassessed by Michelin inspectors immediately. Cleanliness and food safety are non-negotiable, and this establishment fell drastically short of even basic hygiene standards.

A must-try Michelin spot in Phuket Old Town! Ko Ang Seafood truly lives up to its reputation. The seafood is incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked — the crabs and seafood fried rice are absolute standouts and highly recommended. Every seafood dish we tried was full of flavor and expertly prepared. The pork dishes, however, were a bit underwhelming and not something I’d recommend. That said, the overall quality of the food was excellent, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. If you’re in Phuket Old Town, this place should definitely be on your list!

The menu was very helpful with English. The crab curry was spicy but good. The squids with black sauce were spicy but good. The fried shrimp had a nice sweet and sour sauce to give my tongue break. I'm definitely building up my spice tolerance. I would not recommend the black sugarcane juice.

A Micheline rated restaurant where you can expect good food and friendly staff. sea food is bit expensive but taste balances that ! The only reason, I give a 4 star Is due to higher prices on some items which did not make any sense. They should accept credit card for convenience

Nice local casual place to have seafood. It could be a little bit salty, I guess it’s the general taste here. The seafood is so fresh. The cockle I had was big and juicy. The stewed pork knuckle is tender and the smell of the spices make it even more enjoyable to have with steamed rice.

It’s a local seafood restaurant with air-con room provided but seats are limited. Anyway we visited in late Feb, so it’s not sweaty hot even we just stayed under the ceiling fan. Avoid disappointment, better to make a call to restaurant first The food are very delicious but my husband has food poisoning from the seafood cockle, blood clams. Since it’s not 100% cooked. Not blaming the restaurant but it’s always not a good idea to have uncooked seafood, especially you are visiting Phuket and don’t want anything to ruin your holidays.

Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The food was not tasty and significantly overpriced. For example, the Stir-fried Shrimp with Sator Beans and Shrimp Paste (กุ้งผัดกะปิสะตอ) was priced at 250 baht, but it only came with six tiny shrimp. On top of that, the food didn't look very clean. . My main issue is that the food simply wasn't good, and yet it was very expensive. While it might appeal to locals, I strongly advise against it for tourists. There are definitely better and more reasonably priced restaurants available.
