The Phuket Octopus restaurant is a Thai style family owned restaurant which is located in the Nai Yang beach area of Phuket. The great thing about Nai Yang is that there are a variety of restaurants which are located directly on the beach and the Octopus Phuket restaurant is one of them. Nai Yang is not as much developed as some of the more popular Phuket beach areas such as Patong and Karon beach which is one of the reasons why small local businesses such as the Octopus Restaurant Nai Yang beach can still operate on and along the beach. Whenever I have some time off then my wife and I will cruise up and down the West coast of Phuket and we will often stop for a nice meal at the Octopus Phuket restaurant in Nai Yang beach. Most travelers and tourists will probably have never heard of this great restaurant in Nai Yang beach and might not even have know that there is a Phuket beach called Nai Yang beach as they will stay confined to their own resort area. I have frequently talked about exploring the island of Phuket in this online Phuket guide and one of the reasons why is so that you can come across charming Thai style restaurants in some of the more remote areas of Phuket such as the Octopus Restaurant at Nai Yang beach.

The Octopus Phuket restaurant is owned and managed by Khun Lek and his charming mom. Lek managed the front of the house and his mother manages the kitchen. The Phuket Octopus restaurant in Nai Yang first opened its door nearly 25 years ago and is one of the oldest restaurants in Nai Yang. A few years back however the Octopus restaurant moved into a new building so that guests can now either enjoy a cold drink or wonderful meals inside or outside on the terrace along the white sandy beach of Nai Yang.

The Octupus Restaurant Phuket at Nai Yang is especially well known for its outstanding fresh Andaman Seafood. Local fishermen sell their catch to the Phuket Octopus restaurant every morning so you can rest assured that the seafood is as fresh as can possible be. If you are not really a fan of seafood then please note that there are also plenty of other dishes which you can order at this top Nai Yang beach restaurant. They also have a variety of different European dishes includes superb schnitzels and delicious pepper steaks. I would say that the menu is not really cheap nor it is overly expensive. You should remember that the restaurant is located directly on the beach and that the restaurant attracts mostly expat residents as well as tourists and travelers. However the Thai dishes are pretty inexpensive so you will also find a lot of Thai folks enjoying a meal at the Octopus Phuket restaurant.

If you are interesting in going swimming at Nai Yang beach or doing some sunbathing then please note that you can also rent some sun loungers in front of the Phuket Octopus restaurant on Nai Yang beach. You could even have drinks and food served to you at your deck chair if you would prefer this over dining at the Nai Yang beach restaurant.

One of the problems which I have faced in many of the Thai style restaurants on Phuket is that frequently the staff speaks little to no English. Fortunately this is not the case at the Octopus Restaurant at Nai Yang beach as the owner himself speaks good English and he has trained his staff well and taught them English. The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 until 22:00.
