No 9 2nd Restaurant

Top choice in Hat Patong


Deceptively simple, with wooden tables and photo-strewn walls, this is one of the best and busiest restaurants in Patong, thanks to its inventive and delicious mix of Thai, Japanese and Western dishes. It's a rare feat for a kitchen to serve real-deal sushi, vegetarian Thai curries and meats such as lamb shank without any dip in quality.

Expect to wait for a table in the evening.
