Baba Chino at Sri Panwa Phuket is a Chinese restaurant located within the resort, designed for an unhurried dinner in a calm, low-key setting. Inside, you’ll find a neat, intimate dining room with a relaxed mood — more about comfort and quiet than panoramic views.

The menu focuses on Chinese flavors with bold accents. Standout choices include dim sum, Sichuan soup, tofu dishes, and seafood such as tiger prawns. Portions are generous and presentation is polished, with the kitchen generally maintaining a high standard. That said, a few items may feel simpler than expected — for instance, the crispy pork belly is sometimes sliced very thin and can come across chewier than you might want.

Service is one of the restaurant’s strong points: the staff are friendly, attentive, and eager to accommodate, occasionally adding small complimentary touches to your order. The hospitality feels warm and genuinely caring, and the wait for dishes is usually easygoing.

In terms of pricing, it aligns with Sri Panwa’s more premium bracket. Drinks can noticeably raise the bill, and discounts often apply to food only. It’s also worth confirming practical details in advance — opening hours may change, and the venue can occasionally close for updates or renovations.
