Review of Nam Yoi Restaurant, an extraordinary local Phuket restaurant

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

"Nam Yoi" is one of Phuket's local restaurants, having been around for nearly 30 years. Starting out as a small, homey restaurant, it has now expanded into a large, open-air restaurant, surrounded by shady trees. The atmosphere feels like dining at a relative's house.
There's no need to elaborate on the taste — it's spicy, flavorful, and satisfying, just like authentic Southern Thai cuisine. And most importantly, the prices are reasonable.

🥘 Recommended Menu — Don't miss out!
* * Moo Hong – The restaurant's signature dish, featuring tender, soft pork belly with the perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness, and fragrant spices.
* * Southern-style Sour Curry – Choose your type of fish. And add vegetables like coconut shoots, green papaya, or chon.
* * Stir-fried morning glory with eggs – also known as “liang leaves” in central Thailand – has a mild, well-balanced flavor.
* * Stir-fried shrimp with shrimp paste and stink beans – Large, bouncy, and very fresh shrimp. The stink beans are also large and crunchy. Paired with steamed rice, it's a delight.
* * Bitter melon curry – Rich, well-balanced, and fragrant with curry paste.
* * Shrimp paste chili dip – Fragrant with shrimp paste, sour, sweet, salty, and spicy, a true Southern Thai flavor. Served with side vegetables, the crispy shrimp paste is delicious.
