Shiro chalong restaurant

Shiro Chalong Restaurant is a cozy Japanese café in Chalong, Phuket, with a clean, fresh-looking interior and an easygoing vibe. It sits right by the road, so it can get a bit noisy during the day, but the fans keep the dining area pleasantly cool, and there’s a lovely little terrace outside.

The menu focuses on curry and ramen. Their curry rice — served with chicken or a pork cutlet — is rich, filling, and genuinely generous in portion size, easily enough to keep you satisfied for hours. The ramen is also a standout (the beef ramen in particular), and you’ll also find chicken katsu, rice bowls, handmade gyoza, and snacks like “cigar rolls.” The menu is compact and straightforward, yet it offers more variety than you might expect from the photos.

One of the nicest touches is a shelf of board games: you can grab a game for your table and play while you wait for your food. They even have markers and a spot for quick notes, which adds to the homey feel.

Service is fast and friendly, with a warm, family-run atmosphere. Takeaway and delivery are convenient too — everything is packed neatly, and they sometimes include small treats or seasonal gifts. A few things to keep in mind: the drink selection is limited (no coffee, but there’s tea and Japanese beer), parking nearby can be tricky, and it’s worth asking about the curry’s spice level in advance — it can be hotter than you might expect.
