Eat here! Don’t miss out on some of the best Thai food on the island. I highly recommend the Spicy noodle soup with Stewed pork, all versions of their Khao soi (especially with the braised pork), and the Stewed pork leg with rice. The latter comes with a bone broth of the stewing sauces that is out of this world. The food is all delicious, their specialties is pork, with stewed pork, crispy red pork, and BBQ available to accompany multiple dishes. The stewed pork is a particular favourite as it is both succulent and will melt-in-your mouth. Ka Moo Boran may look unassuming from the outside but the it’s home to some of the best Thai food I have eaten, an all for around ฿80 per dish. They hold multiple awards from the Michelin guide that they proudly display in the walls and it’s easy to see why. The service is friendly and welcoming and the food always arrives incredibly quickly. After discovering this place I had lunch here almost every other day.

What a spot! The Michelin guide brought us here and it did not disappoint. One of the best meals I’ve had in Thailand in the past two weeks I’ve been here. The stewed pork leg was melt-in-your mouth perfect while pickled greens complemented it beautifully. This was my boyfriend’s highlight, but for me, the bone broth served with it was the icing on the cake. Spicy, peppery… THE BEST bone broth I have ever tasted. The staff were also the warmest, friendliest people. We biked about 30 minutes from Kamala Beach to eat here and it was so worth it!

The best stew pork I have ever had. There is a parking lot in the alley before arriving the restaurant. The owner is really friendly, funny, and kind. They deserved the micheline guide with no doubt. Highly recommended if you wanna try something new in Thailand. The pork intestine is melting in your mouth and not smelly at all. Also worth trying.

I visited this place on my last day in Thailand, and it gives me more reason to visit Thailand again, especially Phuket I ordered the recommended dishes, which are stewed pork leg with rice and khao soi with pork leg. The pork meat melts in your mouth, don't need teeth to eat My personal favorite is the khao soi, it's very rich in flavor. Spicy, sour (if adding the lime juice), coconut-ty blend into one. Eating it with the pickled vegetable and onion makes it even better. Very well-deserved michellin recognition!

Pork kao shoi is the best. The broth, noodle, and stew pork leg are the best combination!
