Vkus Est – Ko Kaeo in Phuket is a casual café focused on home-style Russian comfort food — filling, familiar dishes you can rely on day to day. It works equally well for a quick meal in, takeaway, or as a regular spot if you live nearby. Dogs are welcome inside.

The menu is broad: classic staples such as borscht, plov, meat patties with mashed potatoes, and vinaigrette salad sit alongside a handful of Asian-inspired options. The handmade dumplings are a standout — pelmeni and vareniki with thin dough, generous filling, and neatly shaped pieces. Other reliable choices include the lagman (a huge portion with good-quality meat), Olivier salad, meatball soup, and mors (berry drink).

Portions are genuinely large, often enough to cover more than one meal. Prices feel fair for the size, and food is usually prepared quickly.

Delivery is available (including via Grab). Orders typically arrive hot and on time, but occasional issues can happen — delays, mix-ups, or inconsistent quality in certain items. It can also get hot indoors, so outdoor seating is often more comfortable.
