Raya is a family-run restaurant serving old Phuket home cooking at 48/1 Dibuk Road in Phuket Old Town, beside the small canal bridge. It is best known for crab-meat yellow curry with rice noodles, and suits anyone exploring the Old Town who wants local dishes in a historic house.
A century-old mansion on Dibuk Road
The restaurant fills a Sino-Portuguese mansion around a hundred years old, with its original patterned floor tiles, green wooden shutters and stained glass. Two floors seat a large crowd, and the mood is that of a busy family house. A small car park sits at the back, and most visitors combine a meal here with a walk along Thalang Road and Soi Romanee.
Mee hoon gaeng poo and Raya's family recipes
Pa Kularb turned her home kitchen into a restaurant in 1994, and her family still cooks her recipes. Two dishes define the menu. Mee hoon gaeng poo is a rich yellow crab curry with coconut milk, served with rice noodles. Moo hong is pork belly braised for hours with garlic, palm sugar, soy and black pepper. The crab curry is rich and filling, so one bowl shared across the table is usually enough.
A local guide's 2026 estimate puts the cost at about 300 to 600 baht per person, depending on how many plates you share. Dishes can also be taken away.
