About China Inn Garden Restaurant

A restored Sino-Portuguese family house on Thalang Road whose front rooms are an antique and handicraft shop; walk through to a quiet garden with a few tables. Thai dishes such as pomelo salad and a shrimp massaman curry share the menu with European fusion — come for the house and the garden, and take your time, as service is slow.

Also known as China Inn, China Inn Phuket
