Kipo Steakhouse in Phuket is a restaurant and bar known for its panoramic sunset views. Spread across several levels with open-air terraces, it’s designed so the sea and the setting sun stay in sight from almost any table. Inside, the décor is sleek and well kept — clean, comfortable, and stylish — with music that stays in the background and doesn’t drown out conversation.

The menu focuses on steaks and seafood. You’ll find Wagyu (including striploin) served with chimichurri, tuna tartare, and a range of European-style starters and sides such as asparagus and truffle–Parmesan fries. The sauces are thoughtfully chosen and complement the meat well. For dessert, they offer Basque cheesecake. The bar menu features cocktails and spirits, and cigars are also available.

In the evening, the atmosphere shifts noticeably: after dinner, the restaurant turns into a club-style venue with a DJ, dancing, and a poolside area. They host themed nights — for example, a ladies’ night around 8:00 pm with complimentary unlimited drinks and a fire show — and on Fridays there’s sometimes an all-you-can-eat steak buffet.

A few things to note: prices are on the higher side, and during peak hours service can slow down with occasional delays. The tasting set is designed as a lighter option, with smaller portions.
