Lek Seafood

Tucked down a quiet soi off Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra near Si Lom, this long-standing neighbourhood seafood restaurant draws a loyal crowd of locals and returning visitors who come for its fresh ingredients and broad menu of Thai and Chinese-influenced seafood cooking. The setting is unpretentious and relaxed — the kind of place that looks easy to walk past but rewards those who stop in. Standout dishes include the steamed lime fish, grilled prawns, hot plate oyster with egg, fried sea bass Thai-style, and roast pork with green vegetables, with a menu wide enough to suit different tastes without straying from its roots. Service is attentive and prompt, with staff quick to attend to diners throughout the meal. Mid-range pricing makes it accessible for most travellers, and the casual atmosphere suits both solo diners and groups. The restaurant opens exclusively for dinner, operating every day of the week from 5:00pm until midnight. A practical note for visitors: popular items such as the grilled prawns can sell out on busy evenings, so arriving closer to opening time improves the chances of getting the full menu. The restaurant sits on Soi Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 3, a short taxi ride or walk from BTS Chong Nonsi or Sala Daeng stations. Check the Facebook page for any updates before visiting.
