If I'm craving spicy curry or anything spicy for that matter, Phuket Cafe often comes to mind. The flavors are out of this world, often surprising and incredibly unique. It's one of those places you bring people from out of town to leave them wanting more. Each dish is unique, I'd recommend ordering more than you can handle. Make a reservation! Walk ups can be hard as their space is limited.
I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long, and now I understand the hype. Everything was delicious! Many dishes had some spice, but you can usually find the peppers and pick them off if you’d want. That said, I still wouldn’t recommend this place to someone who has little/no tolerance for spice. We at the chefs counters and it was a really fun spot- definitely grab it if that’s an option when making a reservation! There was also a nice variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes, which I appreciated.
Phuket Cafe was fantastic! We made a dining room reservation for two on a Tuesday night; we arrived a bit early and were seated right away. Our server talked through the menu with us as we made our selections, and did a really wonderful job of explaining each dish (spice level, portion size, and even pairings for a well-rounded meal).
We ended up ordering two starters (albacore and pompano collars, which was on the specials list) and two entrees (Thai paella and prawn curry). We also got the coffee panna cotta for dessert. We took home some leftover paella, but it was the perfect amount of food to get to try several menu items.
The cocktails were fun and interesting — and importantly, delicious. We tried Serious Moonlight, Technically Sweet, Preppy Giuseppe, and Built 2 Chill, and I would order any one of them again!
Overall, stunning food and drinks, amazing service, and great vibes. I’m looking forward to returning to try even more of the menu.
