The multi-awards winning Thai restaurant serving up classic Thai and Phuket's favorite dishes, each dish at Takieng is crafted to tribute the authenticity of Thai flavors. The freshest and finest local ingredients are highlighted in the extensive menu.
Kitja Muakin, known as Chef Ja, brings over 12 years of culinary experience to his role as Chef de Cuisine at Takieng. A graduate of Dusit Thani College in Bangkok, his career has taken him from Phuket to Bangkok, then abroad to Macau, before returning to Thailand to further refine his skills across several renowned Thai restaurants. Inspired by his mother's love for cooking, Chef Ja now presents bold, authentic Thai flavors using locally sourced ingredients—showcased in his signature dish, Kuo Kling Pla Mong, and a rotating menu that changes every two months. "I want guests at Takieng to feel like they're enjoying a Thai-style home-cooked meal," he shares.
