Nam YOI Restaurant

Authentic local southern Thai restaurant. The food is exceptionally good. However, we waited for almost one hour to get first plate. (It was during New year holidays.)

My fav dish: Jumbo shrimps in tamarind sauce

Food was fantastic, flavor was perfect u0026 everything cooked to perfection. Very flavorful u0026 special. Definitely the best thai food I have had in my life. The Crab curry was the star among the dishes.

Oh wow! The food was great the service was excellent. We tried most dishes we could not get in Europe(Netherlands) like the stinky beans and the spicy minced pork/chicken dish.

All dishes tasted unique and even tough it’s spicy you get a burst of flavor that complements goes wel together with it.

The waiter warned us to get the minced dish at low spice level, as he even does not eat it at its original spice level. We refused and regretted this but still we yearned for more.

The food are amazing here. Especially the prawn with tamarind sauce. Their version is amazing, they added cashews and fried onion that just elevate this already popular dish.

This is not a fancy restaurant, but it’s clean. Service are fast and friendly. It’s very popular with local customers. Price is also very reasonable.

Local southern food. We had the recommended kang som pla which is really tasty (ถึงเครื่องมาก เข้มข้น). The prawn here is hugeeeee - we can Fried prawn with satore (the vegetable used in sourthern cuisine). not too spicy. And bai-liang pad kai, again another vegetable used in soutern cuisine fried with egg - not speical but good as other dishes we chose were quite spicy. The staff warned us to order once as there are usually a lot of people and order more later may cause a long wait time.
The toilet here is dry and cleaner than other local thai restaurants so a good job there - with soap for washing hands and paper towel.

By far my most favorite southern Thai cuisine restaurant in Phuket. The ingredients were so fresh and every dish tasted authentic.
We were lucky that we didnt have to wait in line and it took around 20 mins for the food to arrive on the table.

We went to Nam YOI after seeing it reviewed by Mark Wiens. Let me tell you that it does not disappoint. It seems to be a very popular spot for locals at lunch time.

We had Kua Gling Moo, Gaeng tai bpla, and bpla Mon(local fish with chili paste). These were all southern Thai dishes and some local favorites. Everything was totally amazing and especially the Gaeng tai bpla. This is a special dish that is very very spicy and delicious. Most westerners won't try it because it has some peculiar ingredients but I highly recommend going outside your comfort zone and trying true local food.

We even brought home some paste for the Gaeng tai bpla to give to my fiance's mom.
