Why guests rave about Tatonka Restaurant Phuket!
EXCELLENTBased on 516 reviewsVerifiedMichael S2024-10-07Hidden Gem We've been coming to Phuket and Bang Tao Bay since the early 2000's but somehow had never made it to Tatonka until now. Nestled into a corner next to the Supper Club it's easily missed as it doesn't really standout. The service is outstanding and when travelling with a daughter who is coeliac it was refreshing to have staff able to clearly communicate what was and was not safe for her... Plus able to easily tweak and adjust items to help. It's not your normal menu with fantastic tapas share dishes to start, followed by some awesome mains and outstanding desserts. Atmosphere is excellent, service top notch and with great food, cocktails and wines to match... We won't be missing this place again as it's now firmly a favourite!VerifiedKyleFP2024-08-15Hidden Gem A quick search on Google, a glance at the online menu, and scroll through a couple of recent reviews - the decision was made to dine here. And what a good decision it was...Tatonka is amazing! Nestled in the corner of a small shopping/dining street in Laguna, when entering the restaurant you are automatically taken on the Globetrotter journey the owners have created - bringing life inside the restaurant with live plants, decorative wall paintings provide a hint to distant locations, and tapestries hanging from the ceiling not only soften the atmosphere, but also add to the theme. There are even some travel secrets to find in the bathrooms. We were the first ones there as soon as it opened for dinner service, however as the night went on, the tables started to fill up. Keep that in mind if you plan a visit, as there are not too many tables available. The staff were all friendly and helpful, as well as very knowledgeable about the menu. All the dishes we chose were brilliant! I personally had the Blackened Chicken for main and Cocomo for dessert - the flavours were amazing and cooked to perfection. Would also recommend the Siam Chicken and Oriental Duck. Will definitely come back here again when we're next in Phuket. Highly recommended!VerifiedLaura W2024-08-11Incredible We had 2 wonderful meals at this restaurant following a recommendation from a friend. The Thai tapas selection to start is honestly some of the best food I’ve ever tasted, and then the fusion pizzas and pasta, and the blackened tuna blew our minds too. It has a good kids menu and they were also happy to whip up some off menu items for our kids too. Lovely cocktails and a great wine list. A must try.VerifiedRich2024-07-20Highly recommend a meal here! We had 2 really tasty meals here during our stay in Phuket. The food was great - inventive and interesting and the kids enjoyed it too! The staff were all really helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!!VerifiedAndre Jordache2024-04-22Tatonka revisited First came here in 2005 and came every year until COVID. Back to Phuket for first time since 2020 and had to visit Tatonka. Food still brilliant and varied and the staff are still so friendly. Still love it…VerifiedSuzy J2024-04-22Our favourite still.... Have not been to Tatonka since Covid. Previously was a favourite for our family every Christmas 2005 - 2019. So wonderful to be back. Recognised by staff with the extraordinary and brilliant menu unchanged and as fantastic as ever!!!!! Everyone staying in Laguna should head here for a truly wonderful meal. The duck cigars are just fabulous and jack fish divine.VerifiedJane1312622024-04-14Sunday night dinner It’s been years since we last visited but was definitely as I remembered it a strange fusion which somehow just works. We had the duck pancakes and bruschetta to start both delicious. Followed by the duck bocatini for me which was duck in a red curry sauce with pasta fabulous and my husband had the Louisiana pizza which he thoroughly enjoyed too all rounded off with ice cream with liquor poured over delicious! Lovely evening and great serviceVerifiedchristina2024-03-14Superb staff, cocktails & Michelin style cuisine A wonderful evening, I could have eaten here every night of the holiday. Exquisite food. The starters are a highlight but don’t over indulge before the incredible main courses. Great twist on food style and a credit to the owner and her late husband.VerifiedRedNige2024-02-28Excellent Tapas In spite of the tragic death of the owner Tatonka has maintained its reputation and excellent quality food. Service as always was good we'll be back.VerifiedStuart H2024-02-16Amazing food, service, atmosphere.. Harold would be proud We are so terribly sad to hear the devastating news that Harold from Tatonka passed away a month ago in a tragic accident. Having frequented Tatonka for many years we were devastated to hear this news on arrival at the restaurant. We were so sad not to see him wave from behind the kitchen counter and give us a warm embrace as he always did, so upsetting. We felt we must write this review though and report back that his wonderful team are continuing his great work and delivering execution of dishes as he did with care and precision, which he would be so proud of and I’m sure he’s looking down smiling. If you are in Phuket and looking for a fantastic dining venue then please give the restaurant a try, and if you are a regular then please don’t hesitate to return as Yen his loving wife needs all the back up she can get right now, and the wonderful team want to keep the restaurant operating as it was before in his memory. Fabulous food, great atmosphere, superb service and attention to detail that’s what you get at Tatonka and we are pleased to say it’s still delivering all of these things and more. RIP Harold and let your memory live on with your legacy, you will not be forgotten.❤️

I recommend to go and enjoy the chicken Larb Gao cones and Crab Cakes. Definitely will go back again, cannot believe over the past 15 years coming to Phuket we never went there. Most of our bill was the wine cost as we drank a lot of bottles. The Cocoma dessert was Amazing. Highly recommend getting desserts too. Thumbs up.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Таня Л2024-11-14Очень понравилось! Пошли прочитав отзывы и не пожалели. При малом количестве туристов в Таиланде сейчас ресторан был полностью заполнен. В сезон наверно сложно попасть и лучше бронировать стол заранее. В меню нет картинок поэтому не совсем ясно как будет выглядеть блюдо. Выбирали по фото на этом ресурсе и не ошиблись. Все оооочень вкусно, красивая подача, приятное обслуживание, цены за блюдо от 250 бат. Салат с тунцом , крабовые котлетки, креветки с помело, утка супер вкусно . Дополняю отзыв спустя 3 года - 13.11.24. Все также очень вкусно. Мега приветливый персонал все расскажут и покажут. Остались очень довольныTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.loris courco2024-11-10Original, good , very nice service and really fair prices!

We tried the coconut secret dessert that was super creative. Great service and attention details. Really happy we found this restaurant, we will come again for sure.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tom A2024-11-08Fantastic fusion restaurant with great service . Try different appetisers instead of a starter / main for a “tapas” style experience.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alexandre Marcuard2024-10-23By VERY far the BEST fusion food restaurant and amazing service. The love and care in the food is 5* Try their amazing deal tasting menu so you can test if you want more of Saigon Beef, Tuna or Shrimp/Pomello. Great Wine List, lovely owner and staff, a gem in the Laguna area!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Vishal Jalan2024-10-13Wow. Lovely food and great service. Lot of vegetarian options. Kind owner and staff.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Maddy Barber2024-10-01The food here is sensational, with an interesting take on favorites from around the world! But seriously, save room for dessert because they’re possibly better than most Michelin-star places. I kid you not. You *HAVE* to try the Cocomo. Everything on the plate is made of coconut, and it’s just mind-blowing. The coconut mousse, crisps, and all the little touches… wow! The place is cozy, and the staff are super friendly. If you're in Phuket and need a break from Thai food, this is the spot!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Little Finger2024-09-01อาหารอร่อยมากค่ะ จะเป็นแนวยุโรปผสมไทยฟิวชั่น เป็นรสชาติที่เข้าถึงง่าย ส่วนตัวชอบลาบไก่ที่ใส่มาในแป้งโรลทอดกรอบข้างในมีชีส พิซซ่าแกงเขียวหวานไก่ก็อร่อยไม่แพ้กัน สามารถเพิ่มพริกขอรสชาติคนไทยได้ค่ะ เพราะอาหารจะถูกปรับให้มีรสชาติกลางๆ คนต่างชาติทานได้ บรรยากาศนั่งสบายไม่มีแอร์แต่ก็ไม่แออัดค่ะ พนักงานเอาใจใส่น่ารักทุกคน
