KUANG Seafood
Order like a group and you'll eat well here, but keep half an eye on the bill. This is a big, loud Ratchada seafood house where the plates are meant for sharing and the portions are generous. One party of nine worked through suckling pig, a kilo of prawns, steamed fish, drinks and mango sticky rice and ended up at 7,750 baht, so the "mid-range" label only holds if you're ordering modestly.
The dishes people keep coming back to are the crab curry, the stir-fried squid with salted egg and the stir-fried prawns with curry. Fried rice, tom yum goong and the crab omelette also get named. Seating runs over two floors, with standard tables and round lazy Susan tables for bigger groups, and it's family friendly even when the noise gets going. There's also a steady stream of Kim Seon-ho fans, drawn by his connection to the place. Weekday lunch is the calm slot, and there was no wait.

I came here purely as a happy fangirl, following in the footsteps of my beloved Kim Seon-ho 💙 — and I can honestly say it was totally worth it! Not only did I get to visit a place connected to someone I admire so much, but the food was genuinely delicious too. Every dish was full of flavour and perfect for sharing, making it a great spot for a lovely meal with family. This turned out to be a fan moment that didn’t disappoint at all — amazing seafood, warm atmosphere, and a place that made my heart (and stomach) very happy. If you’re a Seon-ho fan or just looking for great seafood, this place is a must-visit! 🥰🦞
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kuang Seafood and it was an enjoyable experience. The restaurant is clean and inviting atmosphere making it a comfortable spot for a meal. The prices are reasonable, offering good value for the quality of food served. We indulged in a delightful spread that included Yam Phra Fu, fish maw, crab omelette, and stir fried watercress. Each dish was delicious, fresh ingredients and good preparation. The fish maw delicately cooked and the crab omelette rich with generous crab meat. The stir-fried watercress added crisp to our meal. Overall, Kuang Seafood impressed with its delicious offerings clean ambiance and fair pricing. A definite recommendation for seafood lovers looking for a satisfying dining experience.
Over-priced, average quality, and serving tourist groups instead of locals. The nine of us ate one suckling pig, 1kg of prawns, steam fish, and many other dishes, ended the meal with two plates of mango sticky rice. Ordered drinks including water melon juice and fresh coconut. Total cost 7,750 baht. Best fish was fried cabbage. The mango sticky rice was pretty decent, as was the tom yum Koong.

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.
Nearby Places

Pick your fish off the ice, have it cooked, and eat it at 1am if you want.
