The Kitchen Patong

Visited this restaurant twice during my stay in Phuket. First time everything has been great - exactly at the requested cooking stage, good quality, fairly priced. Unfortunately on my 2nd visit the experience was a totally different one.

This was about 5 days ago, food was delicious and service was quick but staff needs a bit more training in terms of politeness.

We enjoyed a very nice dinner. We ordered Australian meat, it was delicious!
The all diner was amazing. On top of it, the owner is a very kind and helpful person. We found a true quality of service.
If you are looking for an excellent restaurant you can go to the Kitchen with no doubts!!

If I could rate less than a 1 would. Ordered a tenderloin steak medium rare. It came extremely rare, asked the waitress politely to cook it some more.

It came back again extremely rare, tried to send it back again this time to the manager who was very rude (French I think) who did not care, and shrugged his shoulders.

We were planning on having lunch here tomorrow, as the menu did look nice. However, following the extreme rudeness of the Manager we will not be returning.

For a service orientated business, the service from the manager was shocking. The waitresses were apologetic and I couldn’t fault. Ended up with a hungry wife! As the manager did not care, no sorry, no goodbye nada!

Stopped in to eat while in Patong under Phuket Sandbox. I didn't realize it was close to closing time. Not many places open to eat late at night and when I say late, I mean late during COVID curfew. It was 2145 (9:45pm) and Google say they close at 2230 (10:30pm). About 98% of everything still closed. All bars closed and alcohol sales banned. Many restaurants close temporary or permanent.

So... they escorts me in to a table at a window with a direct view of Patong Walking Street, which is a ghost town. Absolutely nothing open except a massage shop. I ordered the pork kyoza, chicken fried rice, pineapple smoothies and french fries. (Don't judge me for the fries, it's one of my addictions ????). The pineapple drink came out first followed by the Kyoza and two sauces as the appetizer and, while they were rather small (in America, the portions are always large), they were very delicious.

Next came the friend rice with a small salad and my fries. Again, portions a little small but I didn't care. The food was great!

After I finished, the were quick to clear the plates, which was nice and I didn't feel rushed at all. The server asked if I wanted some dessert, but I declined. Then the owner approached my table and asked how everything was. Young italian guy. I always think this is a sign of a great manager/owner. Shows he really cares about his customers and their experience in his restaurant. We talked a little about random stuff. (Football, soccer, basketball, economy, home countries, etc)

After our chat, I paid my bill and left. Just as I was about to leave, a couple walked in and it was after closing, but during these COVID times, it's understandable to stay open even for just one customer. The owner truly cares.

I will definitely come back to try some of the other dishes this place offers. They have a wide range of food options.

Stop in if you are in the area. Was worth my time and I left with a full stomach.

The waitress here should really be more courteous. They speak rudely, a bit of politeness goes a long way. We're not eating for free. We're paying. Especially the lady with straight short hair above shoulder. I merely asked what is the normal, is it spicy or not. She answered we don't have normal, just choose spicy, less spicy no spicy. The way she spoke was very rude, its like We're wasting her time by asking a question. Don't you know we're tourists. If you want people to patron your place, pls talk nicely to customers.
