Phatphuk in Portsmouth

Wonderful food. Super fresh and excellent value.

Fantastisk mat og veldig hyggelig betjening Spiste pad thai, red curry og nr 25 og alle var kjempe gode. Vi bestilte sterk

Tried this place for the first time today, we went in and it was very busy so we weren’t sure if we’d get a table. They said they had a table in the garden so we said ok let’s try, it was beautiful, they led us through flowers and plants into a marquee out the back which was all enclosed with heaters. Really nice vibe, although it would have been even nicer with a little bit of soft, quiet music playing. The food was so good. We had the squid to share which was delicious, little bit rubbery but the batter was so light and crispy. I then had the Duck Curry with coconut rice which was so good. The duck was crispy but still tender and juicy, the sauce was lovely and creamy but not too heavy. And the perfect amount of spice. My partner had a Duck stir fry dish with cashews, pineapple and peppers with plain rice and really enjoyed it as well. It was bring your own drinks so lots of people were doing that but we just had water. The staff were really friendly and super attentive. We will definitely be going back :)

We go here every so often, we love this place, its casual and a good price range for lunch. Its never too crowded unlike other asian food places around the town. There is always somewhere to sit. The service is polite and prompt. The menu is not too big and there is something for fussy husbands and those who would like to try something more traditional. We usually find ourselves in here if we have to pop to the town centre.

On 04/01/2025 I ordered a meal. Right after felt very sick, had to go to QA hospital due to food poisoning. Seems like I contracted Salmonella. Absolutely abysmal. I called them to notify but they didn't care and the manager started laughing. Well you won't be laughing after I reported this restaurant for appalling food hygiene and due to food standards agency.
