Yuma Cafe & Bar in Phuket sits right by the sea, on the corner of Karon Beach. It’s an easy place to catch the ocean breeze, settle in with a water view, and unwind in a calm, laid-back atmosphere with soft background music. Even on hot days the indoor seating stays comfortable thanks to fans, and sports are often shown on the screens. The restrooms are kept clean.
The menu blends Thai and international flavors: tom yum, wok noodles, chicken teriyaki, sushi rolls, pizza (including a classic Margherita), a smash beef burger, and garlic prawns. If you’re craving something more familiar, you’ll also find borscht and pelmeni. Portions are generous, plating is neat and attractive, and the kitchen is happy to adjust dishes on request — removing, adding, or swapping ingredients. They may even prepare off-menu options when possible (for example, dishes made with oyster sauce).
Service is quick and attentive. The staff are polite and friendly; some speak Russian and a little Chinese. Prices are reasonable (often around 400–600 RUB), and good-value set meals may include a salad and a drink. There are kid-friendly choices as well, including lemonade and small snacks.
A few notes: the salad in set meals isn’t always in perfect condition, and if you’re after fully “authentic” Thai food, it’s worth choosing your dishes carefully. If you prefer strong spirits, vodka isn’t kept in the freezer — but they can chill it in advance if you ask.
