Samut

Samut was a highlight of our holiday in Thailand. It was difficult to pick a dish that stood out, they were all incredible. The balance in flavours and creative presentation were really impressive. You can really see the passion from Chef Bank and all the staff.

Wonderful food with lots of seafood ingredients showcasing strong southern Thai and bold flavours (some food were quite spicy haha). Service was attentive and good, they cared to introduce the food design and engaged in further conversations. Spacious and relaxing atmosphere. We had the tasting menu with 16 dishes, we left with a full stomach. It was a good value for money experience.

I would rate this as one of my worst fine dining tasting menu Experience so far. When the food tastes horrible with zero harmony of flavors everything comes down. The service and plating was ok though.

I have to say, if only talk about food, this could be my favorite during this trip. But then again overall experiences wise, probably not the best (still very enjoyable though). I was here for lunch and, I was the only guest of the entire restaurant for the time I was there, I wonder why. Food is fantastic, innovative, yet incorporates local flavors very well. Good flow and balance among the dishes. I truly enjoyed the 16 course menu. It's pescatarian, no meat was served, only seafood, but I didn't even realize till later as I enjoyed almost every dishes. The main dish served as rice with soup and some side dishes were fantastic. Surprisingly the wine list was also more extensive than most of the restaurants I have visited in Phuket. I ordered a good Italian which is very enjoyable and pairs well. Service, on the other hand, was lukewarm. Polite but, feels lacking. There was not much interaction between staffs, chef and guest, even I was the only person there. It felt like I walked into a random store and they just have to open the shop for me (which is true actually haha). Maybe it would be different during dinner or when there are more guests, but to go up another level, services definitely needs to be improved. Again, food was fantastic.

This restaurant is an extraordinary culinary gem, offering an intimate dining experience with only a few seats. The menu is a celebration of authentic Thai cuisine, featuring local dishes crafted from seafood freshly caught by local fishermen each day. The chef adds a personal touch by visiting each table to introduce the dishes, sharing their story and inspiration. The setting is beautifully decorated, creating an atmosphere of elegance and warmth. Combined with impeccable service, this is the ultimate destination for discovering the finest local flavors.

Samut was probably the most incredible dining experience I’ve had. We were expecting regular fine dining, but this was above and beyond your usual fine dining dinner. This was an experience. We went for the samut experience and each dish arrived individually and had its own unique flavour. The staff were very attentive, and took their time to explain each dish and tell you how to eat them and advise on the best order to eat them for the perfect flavour combinations which was amazing! The combinations and flavours were some of the most fresh and most unique I’ve seen and truly, each dish was a small explosion of flavours. My partner and I especially enjoyed the fish ham and mango dish. The final dessert was absolutely beautiful. 4 small desserts on a plate ending with a white chocolate and shrimp dessert. Who would have thought? We loved the personal touch of the chef coming out at the end of the night and talking to us about the dishes! Absolutely worth the money in my opinion and if I could give them an 11/10 I would! Cannot wait to visit again!

This is one of the most interesting and authentic Dinner we ever had : Only local seafood ingredients from Phang Nga/ Phuket region. The restaurant has only 4 Tables!! We had the tasting menu with 17 (!) dishes- prawns, Lobster, fish, seaweed and lots of other seafood mixed with very creative techniques and sauces. We also had the wine pairing which precisely matched the food Everything was explained by the staff very nicely and even the chef came to explain and to ask about our preferences at the end of the meal. This a highly recommended experience for foodies

Had a wonderful experience here. Really interesting use of Thai flavours incorporating it into fine dining. Had the 16 course experience. All ingredients locally sourced. Some dishes were a miss with me scratching my head wondering if the flavours matched. Service was impeccable by the 2 staff and sous chef who explained each dish.
