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.

Why go, and how to do it well

The sea sauce is the reason to come. Order it with tiger prawns, then use the bread that arrives alongside to mop up every last bit, because that combination is what people keep writing home about. Beyond it, the soft shell crab with garlic gets the loudest praise for being crunchy, juicy and properly seasoned. The charcoal grilled river prawns carry a real smoky char and want the nam jim, and the crab fried rice has plenty of fans, though a few diners find the rice softer than they'd like and the river prawn milder than expected. Seasoning across the board is balanced rather than fierce, and the tom yam has depth.

This is a small home business, not a polished dining room, and it feels like one. Prices sit well above street food and one or two people have grumbled that extras get added to the bill, ice included, so keep an eye on what you're agreeing to. Most still think it's worth it for seafood this fresh.

Reviews from Google

Their famous sea sauce is indeed very delicious. We tried it with tiger prawns which I found to be so big that their meat was quite hard, similar to lobster more than shrimp. The bread that comes with it so to die for. You must dip it in the sauce or just stuff your face with it as is. Fried rice was unremarkable and the river prawn, while soft, didn’t taste like much. The soft shell crab with garlic was incredible — crunchy, juicy, and full of amazing flavor; very well seasoned and cooked. I wish they had some white wine to pair this with, instead you’ll find only large bottle of their local beer (which is common in many smaller places in Bangkok).

Amazing seafood restaurant. So fresh & cooked really well. Service is also very friendly & professional 😊 Highly recommend getting the crab fried rice & charcoal grilled river prawns. Take note that it’s cash only but they have motorcycle service to the nearest ATM. Will definitely be back!

Food is amazing ...the service was good but i think he was a new guy but overall,great the food had the right amount of ingredient not too salty not too spicy just right... the tom yam was amazing

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

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.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
