Rinny's Kitchen

Rinny’s Kitchen in Phuket is a small, home-style Korean restaurant with a neat, cozy interior and a warm, almost family-like atmosphere. It’s clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the food is prepared with genuine care — like it’s being cooked for friends. There’s parking right in front, and the location is convenient, just by the turn-off to Fitness Street in Chalong.

The menu focuses on authentic Korean cuisine without requiring you to order a full BBQ set. You can stop by solo or come with a group and mix and match different dishes to build your own spread. The hearty soups and stews are a highlight — kimchi jjigae with tofu and pork, soft tofu stew, and seolleongtang in particular. For something filling, popular choices include bibimbap, tteok bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, Korean fried chicken, sweet-and-sour chicken, glass noodles with beef, and pork cutlets. Portions are generous and genuinely satisfying.

They also make homemade kimchi, and you can buy it to take away. If you’re looking for a lighter bite or breakfast, there are options like an all-day breakfast set and fruit salad. Drinks include coffee (their Americano is smooth but strong) and refreshing smoothies — watermelon, mango, and mixed berry.

Service is quick and friendly: the staff are happy to guide you through the menu and keep things easygoing and welcoming. The owner speaks English, Korean, and Thai fluently. It’s also a great spot for families with kids — straightforward, fresh food with well-balanced flavors.
