About Rong Kopi

An old Chinese coffee shop beside the Jui Tui Shrine, easy to miss on Soi Phutorn until breakfast, when every table is full and people wait outside. Dark wood, ceiling fans and faded family photos set the scene for Phuket-Chinese comfort food that local families have eaten for generations, with free Chinese tea and strong, sweet local coffee. Come early: what is gone is gone, and it closes at 1 pm before reopening for dinner.
