“Potato” in Phuket is a casual café serving familiar comfort food for anyone tired of Thai heat and craving proper Russian-style cooking. The menu covers the classics — borscht and okroshka, chicken soup and goulash, Olivier salad, dumplings (pelmeni) and chebureki — along with rustic-style potato wedges and a selection of wok dishes. For variety, there are also a few Asian options such as tom yum, ramen/udon, and seafood noodles.

One of the standout sections is the sushi rolls: you’ll find hot rolls with a crispy exterior and a tender filling, as well as classic salmon rolls. They come with ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce with the right, not-too-watery consistency. Portions are generally generous, service is quick, and the drinks list includes fruit mors (berry drink) and strong spirits.

The dining room feels calm and inviting — clean, tidy, with neat furniture, pleasant music, and friendly staff. That said, quality can be inconsistent with certain items: shurpa, plov, mashed potatoes, some wok dishes, and the pizza may disappoint, and it can get warm inside at times. Payment is cash-only — bank transfers via QR/“scan” to a Thai account are not accepted.
