Maikhao Garden and Seafood - Fresh Seafood & Thai Delights

Maikhao Garden and Seafood, nestled in the vibrant heart of Mai Khao, Phuket, is a seafood restaurant that beautifully captures the essence of fresh Thai coastal cuisine. From the moment you step into its lively market-style setting, surrounded by quaint shops, the atmosphere invites you to indulge in an authentic and flavorful dining experience that stays true to the local culture.

The menu offers a delightful variety of classic Thai seafood dishes that are both visually stunning and rich in taste. Highly recommended are their spicy squid and the deep-fried fish swimming in luscious Panang sauce—perfect for those who appreciate bold, aromatic flavors. Equally tempting is the Tom Yum Goong, a shrimp soup that bursts with a harmonious blend of spicy, sour, and savory notes, alongside tender calamari and traditional chicken satay that showcase the chef’s keen attention to authenticity. Passion fruit drinks provide a refreshing contrast, perfectly balancing the heat and intensity of the meals.

What truly sets Maikhao Garden and Seafood apart is the freshness of the ingredients and the care put into every dish, making each bite a tantalizing journey of textures and aromas. The presentation is vibrant and inviting, reflecting the dynamic spirit of Thai cuisine. Despite some guests noting their shellfish dishes were occasionally unavailable and the portion sizes a bit modest for the price, the overall quality and flavor more than compensate, leaving diners satisfied and eager to return.

Service here is another highlight—the staff are consistently praised for their warm, attentive, and friendly approach. You’re welcomed with genuine smiles and efficient service, whether dining in or taking your feast back to your hotel. Adding an extra layer to the ambiance, a live guitarist serenades guests with nostalgic tunes from the '70s and '80s, creating a relaxed, enjoyable backdrop to your meal.

Conveniently located just a few minutes’ walk from the Marriott Beach Club and surrounded by other charming local shops, Maikhao Garden and Seafood is a perfect spot for travelers seeking fresh, authentic Thai seafood served with sincerity and a touch of local flair. Whether you're a first-time visitor to Thai cuisine or a seasoned foodie, this restaurant offers a welcoming gateway to all the bold, fresh flavors that Phuket has to offer.

We have been in June several times for dinner in this restaurant. The restaurant is arrange on a market place with shops around. Service is good and fast. The Thai food is good and fresh and nicely arranged.

The food was outstanding - flavorful and spicy! However, the portion size was surprisingly small, especially considering the higher price point compared to similar restaurants offering quality and quantity. One disappointment: the shellfish dishes were unavailable.

A convenient and delicious spot! Minutes walk from the Marriott Beach Club, and surrounded by a few other shops as well. Food and service is always good, have already revisited a few times when coming to Phuket. Highly recommend the spicy squid and deep fried fish in panang sauce :)

We had dinner here on the first night at Phuket. Their menu was well presented, for people who ‘s never been to Thai, it’s really easy for them to know what to order. I ordered Tom yum Googn with shrimp soup, calamari, chicken satay, pad thai, and passion fruit drink. those dishes were delicious!! I love love this restaurant! If you’re only want to try local food, come here, they have everything!

Maikhao Garden and Seafood is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, flavorful dishes in a relaxing setting. The food was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious—every plate tasted like it was prepared with care and high-quality ingredients. The service was friendly from start to finish, with staff who were welcoming, attentive, and always smiling. Despite how good the food is, everything arrived surprisingly quickly, which made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is very clean and well-kept, creating a comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, making it an excellent value. Highly recommended for anyone craving great seafood and warm hospitality!

The food is pretty good although pricey. The dessert is subpar though. I highly recommend getting their seafood. Although we brought it back to the hotel instead of dining in, food was still hot and tasty! I am glad it wasn’t overly salty.
