If we are shopping in that part of town, we always go to Uptown. The food is always good, portions not large, but that is reflected in the price. Friendly staff and prompt service. Good Thai food at a good price.

This restaurant was recommended by our local tour rep, and it did not disappoint. The food is authentic Thai at local prices not tourist. A two course meal for plus a couple of Chang beers under 400 baht

Thai is the place where a lot of local Thai and Expat come to eat everyday.

This restaurant is just opposit the wonderful shopping center call Expo so it mean very good... More

This is one of the best 1 dish restaurant in Phuket town. The owners and staffs are very friendly and helpful. Many selections of foods. Personally i like Tom Yum Pork Noodle here and fish wontons salads. Fried rice with shrimp paste (Kao Cook Kapi), Friend rice with Nam Prik (Kao Nam Prik Long Rua) and Padthai. Delicious and inexpensive.

This is my most favourite place in Phuket, wonderful food at even better prices. The owner Lek is fluent in English, so not much trouble in finding out what some of the dishes are and she makes certain that everyone feels welcome in her establishment

Uptown Restaurant in Phuket Town offered a vast selection of local dishes at very reasonable prices. Loads of locals eating there (always a good sign) and the atmosphere is lively and casual. It is located just outside the core centre of Phuket Town opposite the old Thavorn Grand Hotel. The walk there is fun because you pass lots of shops,... More

The food was well presented but portions were small but we had ordered 3 dishes between 2 of us as we wanted to try things and this was enough for us. The wait staff were friendly but not... More

I live in Phuket Town and I've been to this restaurant many time. I've never been disappointed in the food. They have a tremendous variety of authentic Thai dishes. They have wonderful fruit smoothies. The staff vary greatly in friendliness, attitude and efficiency. They are always busy, so I don't expect a constant smile and flawless service. The location is...

This restaurant offers nice Thai food at very good prices. Most of the dishes cost less than 100 THB and you can have a large choice of Thai food. I have tried many of them and I have never been disappointed. This place is located in the heart of Phuket Town, near all the shopping and many other restaurants.

We accidently found Uptown as we were walking by around dinner time. The place doesn't look like anything special but we figured it looked good enough for a mid-week evening meal :-) The menu consists of 50ish smaller dishes, all priced very reasonably. The food was tasty and because of the portion sizes/prices it is a wonderful place to try... More
