Huagu Dim Sum Cantonese Cuisine in Phuket is a spacious Cantonese-leaning Chinese restaurant set slightly back from the road. It’s an easy place to come with a large group: there are air-conditioned dining rooms, both communal and more private seating areas, round tables, and a few outdoor spots. The quiet, green setting with water nearby sets a relaxed pace — trees all around, the sound of water in the background, and retro music playing softly for a light, nostalgic feel. Add convenient parking, and the whole experience feels pleasantly unhurried.
The menu is extensive: steamed and fried dim sum, rice dishes, simple homestyle wok plates, duck specialties, congee, and a variety of appetizers. The real standout is the shrimp dim sum — the shrimp are firm, juicy, and nicely springy, and the shrimp rolls are a great choice as well. For dessert, many people go for the mango pudding, and tea pairs especially well with the meal (Tieguanyin oolong is a particularly good pick).
If you’re after a filling lunch or a family dinner, the Peking duck is a solid option: it comes with pancakes and sides, and the portion is generous for the price. It’s a comfortable spot for a calm introduction to Cantonese food in Phuket.
