KIRI Restaurant, Naithon Beach

KIRI Restaurant sits right on Naithon Beach in Phuket, with tables facing the water — making it an especially lovely spot for dinner at sunset. Inside, you’ll find a modern tropical design, calm background music that isn’t too loud, plenty of space between tables, and comfortable seating; on hot days, fans help keep things breezy. The dining area and restrooms are generally well maintained and clean, though the second-floor restroom layout isn’t always the most convenient when the restaurant is busy.

The menu is genuinely extensive and international, covering breakfasts, bowls, burgers, pasta, sushi, Thai classics, coffee, cocktails, and a solid dessert selection — plus milkshakes and cakes. One standout is the wood-fired pizza, which is consistently high quality. Guests often order dishes like som tam, chicken satay, green curry, a mortadella sandwich, mango sticky rice, and BBQ sets for sharing; if you ask, they can also cook your own catch.

Prices are fairly reasonable for a beachfront venue, although some drinks may feel a bit small. Staff are friendly and attentive, but during peak hours service can slow down and courses may arrive at different speeds; occasionally there are mix-ups with order timing, item availability, or the bill. In some cases, a service charge is added.
