We came here on our family holiday to Phuket - where we stayed in Kamala beach. This restaurant was the best we have visited for dinner and we would definitely recommend/ come back again. The fresh fish of the day was particularly amazing!!!

The 4 of us loved the The Bua Restaurant- we had a great selection of dishes including a whole Sea Bass cooked 2 ways - BBQ and steamed- everything was delicious. Obviously, family run and a terrific local musician played some great music

One of the most delicious meals we’ve had so far. Started with chicken wings topped with roasted garlic and vermicelli wrapped deep fried prawns, beautifully presented and delicious. Followed by a massaman curry with rice, nothing left and washed down with a couple of Singhs each. All for less than £20 total.
Don’t let the rustic appearance put you off, there’s a gourmet chef in that kitchen!

Very nice place. Super friendly staff and felt very welcomed. Food is traditional Thai food and tasty. Been there with two kids (14 & 11) and they enjoyed the food too
