Phuket Seafood

Standing out as a notable seafood destination in Chiang Mai — a city far from the coast — this restaurant sources live seafood that reviewers consistently praise for its freshness. Highlights include lobster sashimi, mantis shrimp, crab, and raw prawns, with the live tanks being a key draw for diners who treat freshness as non-negotiable. The kitchen handles both raw preparations and stir-fried dishes, giving the menu enough range to suit different preferences. It also caters to halal diners, broadening its appeal to a wider range of visitors. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with ample seating and friendly staff noted by multiple visitors. It works well for groups and food tours, and the variety of seafood on offer makes it a viable centrepiece for a longer evening out. Prices run higher than typical Chiang Mai restaurants, which is worth factoring in, particularly for larger orders of premium seafood like lobster or crab. Good to know: Opening hours and contact details are not readily available online, so it is worth checking locally or asking your accommodation before making the trip out. The address places it along a canal-side road in the Chang Phueak area, so having a map or ride-hailing app on hand will help. Arriving with a clear sense of budget is advisable given the pricing, as live seafood costs can add up quickly depending on what is selected from the tanks.
