River prawn

Situated along the banks of the river in Ayutthaya, this restaurant draws visitors with its focus on river prawns — a regional speciality — and its position slightly removed from the busier tourist strips. The riverside setting offers views across the water, including a church on the opposite bank, and the outdoor atmosphere gives it a more relaxed feel than the high-traffic eateries closer to the main ruins. Parking is available on site, making it accessible for those with a vehicle or arriving by tuk-tuk.

Visitors can expect a casual open-air dining experience with river views as the main draw. The menu centres on fresh river prawns, which reviewers note are notably large in size. Other dishes such as pad thai, glass noodle dishes, and curry are also available. Pricing tends to run higher than budget options in the area, which some visitors attribute to the riverside location and tourist town setting.

It is worth approaching with measured expectations. Reviews are mixed, with some praising the setting and prawn quality while others have raised concerns about value for money, dish seasoning, and service consistency. The sign outside is small and easy to miss, so look carefully when approaching along Thanon Uthong. As opening hours are not publicly listed, it is advisable to check locally or allow flexibility in your plans before making a special trip.
