About Siang Khaen

A big, easy-going Isaan restaurant on Mae Luan Road in Phuket Town, serving the bold, sour and fiery food of north-eastern Thailand. The som tam is pounded to order, so ask for the heat you can handle; mushroom laab, grilled-beef namtok and crispy shredded catfish with green mango are the dishes to share, with grilled meats and sticky rice around them. The room is large, so walking in at dinner time is rarely a problem.

As the record has it

Good to know

Cuisine

Isaan food across the whole range: salads, grilled meats, sticky rice and spicy soups.

Dishes

Som tam (green papaya salad) pounded to order at the heat you ask for; laab het (spicy mushroom salad); namtok nua (grilled beef salad); pla duk foo (crispy shredded catfish with green mango salad).

Setting

Big enough that a table is rarely a wait, even on busy evenings; casual, come as you are.
