The Hilltop Ao Nang

Stunning view, relaxing atmosphere, and the food was really great. Got the soft shell fried crab, shrimp cakes, squid, and orange duck. The duck was excellent, and so was the crab. The crab is covered with chilis so make sure you can handle the heat. Would definitely recommend for the view alone, but also the food is a must as well.

An amazing place with breathtaking views! The food is amazing also. The washrooms could use cleaning and an upgrade. Staff is courteous. The service and setup is a bit slow during the day. They start setting up properly near the sunset. All in all recommend it!

Pricey but good food overall. Great views and nice atmosphere especially during early evening/sunsets. They offer free shuttle to your hotel when reserving table. Attentive service.

Magnificent views! Especially on sunset.
The food is excellent and not too expensive. I definitely recommend to try oysters but beware - they are huge! 6 oysters here were at the size of dozen at any restaurant in Phuket.
All we tried was fresh and delicious. Drinks are good as well.

Good restaurant with beautiful views. If you go by the night there's a calm and charming atmosphere. We really had a great experience and we ate an excellent dinner with a good product. The staff was very friendly and recommended us delicious plates. Thank you so much for the experience.

Food and view are good. Reserving the table at the corner costs you 3000 BHT (as I know now it is "minimum consumption"). Whether this is including the even in Thailand illegal separately set service charge of 10%, I did not ask. I did not return. Once was enough. A bit weird to me, this place.

"Illegal" means: If you serve consumers, not companies, it is mandatory to name the end price in the price list or menu. Listing a price excluding tax or "service charge", which people can find printed in 6pt font at the end of the menu page, is prohibited by law. Some restaurants and hotels prefer to use this method. In my personal opinion this is not honest. The majority of tourism companies abstain from that.

I had a good time, just felt that some business attitude is unusual in your restaurant.

Perfect for lunch and dinner. Lunch has great view of the beach and city of Ao Nang. Dinner has great sunset view and the sign of Hilltop. Very romantic setting at night.

Service: the service is amazing! Best in town. You would need to call them if you need anything. They are very polite and I love their cute uniforms.

Food: 5/5 for food. Their food is so fresh. Nothing here is old or pre-made. They really capture the thai style taste. Seafood sauce is the best here and must have with your meal! Every bite has a strong umami flavor. My favorite dishes here… pineapple fried rice, oyster, raw shrimp salad, and papaya salad with blue crab is a must! Their shrimp tempura was a great appetizer. Curry with crab was very unique and I love how it has a kick to it. You have to get the fried fish with mango salad! Really good!

Drink: I had a lychee martini and strawberry daiquiri. Both are good! Not too sweet. Lychee martini had a sour taste which was shockingly good and refreshing! The strawberry daiquiri was also refreshing and not too sweet of a taste and was just right.

Overall: 5/5 the prices may look a little expensive but you are paying for the quality of the fresh food that is prepared for each order. It’s a bit fancy not your regular night market vibe. The view is to die for! I would come back and visit again for sure!

Update: I had to go back for the second time! The food is too good here! The same great service and very attentive. This is nothing like the night market, it’s way better. I got the steak this time and others. The steak is a must! The meat is salty but parring it with the sauce (sweet and spicy) is perfection! You can also dip it in their seafood sauce too!

You really can’t compare this to a night market or other restaurants around town. This place is really for their quality and freshness of the food.
