Baan Mai Rim Num AYUTTHAYA

4.2(5,457 reviews)$$$$

Order the grilled river prawns and the Jungle Curry, and you'll probably walk away happy. Order broadly across the seafood menu and you're gambling. That's the honest read on this big open-air place on the riverbank along Thanon U-Thong, where the river view and the loose, homey feel do a lot of the work. One reviewer paid 1,800 baht for a kilo of river prawns, four pieces, and thought them fresh but pricey. Others have come away grumbling about mushy squid, dry mussels and soft-shell crab swimming in oil.

So go in with a plan. It's built for groups, portions are generous, and despite the scale the food tends to come out fast. There are snack stalls inside the restaurant itself if you want something to take home. Desserts are the weak spot, with thin choice and little in the way of proper Thai sweets.

My advice: come for a late lunch rather than the dinner rush, sit where you can see the water, and keep the order simple. Grilled things and curries over anything that depends on shellfish being spotless.

Reviews from Google

They location is very convenient. Also, the restaurant is located on the bank of the river which gives a pleasant view. The service is top-notch. Food is very good too. Specially, I like the 'Jungle Curry'. River prawns are fresh and tasty too. We order 4pcs for a kilo at 1,800Baht. Bit expensive. The only downside was the dessert. I wish they have more options for desserts specially thai local desserts.

A local Thai restaurant by the river. Despite being a large restaurant, the service is impressively efficient and our food arrived quite quickly. Food is tasty and fresh. I also loved the local snack stalls within the restaurant for some extra treats to buy home. Ideal for group dining

BIG MISTAKE to come here for dinner! First time = last time. If you have read my other reviews you would know that I rarely give a negative review especially only one Star, because you can’t click zero stars in google review. The menu is misleading, crab meat curry, but came out is crab that is really NOT fresh. You definitely know it’s not one proper crab, but dismembered crabs simply throw in with shells. We were so disappointed after seeing the Michelin framed up there to encounter this type of food. The clear soup tom yam with fin fish again was a let down. The fish is not fresh, and the awful smell can’t be covered by any curry as it’s clear soup . Only the minced pork with century eggs is edible. NEVER come again! The Price totally don’t match the food. Even the drinks, mango smoothies that don’t taste of mango but added chemical taste. The view that is supposedly seeing the temple is blocked by the huge boat parked beside. Don’t be deceived. Both our stomachs are bloated and feel nauseous at night before sleep. This morning I had loose stools. Stomach bloated persist. Hope it will stop soon.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
