Aowtakiab Seafood Hua Hin
The sea does a lot of the work here. Tables sit right on the water at Ao Hua Don Bay, waves audible over the chatter, and that alone explains why the place fills up. Prices land mid-range, portions are generous for what you pay, and food tends to come out fast even when the room is full.
The kitchen isn't flawless, and I'd rather say so. Reviews swing between people who loved every dish and people who found the tom yum goong too sour, the mushrooms tough, the crab fried rice cold and stodgy. The one thing almost everyone agrees on is the soft shell crab with tamarind sauce, so I'd order that first and build the rest of the table around it. Stick to what the kitchen is known for rather than experimenting on a first visit. Staff get consistent praise, which counts for something when a dish doesn't land.

The seafood here is absolutely delicious — every single dish was amazing! The food came out really fast, and the service was great. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Totally worth it and highly recommended! 🦞🐚
Their seafood dishes are the best, Close by the sea-side. The asmosphere and vibe here is absolutely top-notch. Definitely coming back when opportunity arises.
We picked the restaurant based on the many positive reviews, however we were not too thrilled by the food. The Thom Yam Goong was too sour. The mushrooms inside of it and inside the Pad Pak Ruam were too hard (not fresh?). We could not really eat them. The Thod man goong shrimp cakes were also not good tasting. Sorry to say that but we ended up with a lot of leftovers. Staff was great and friendly. The location is awesome. Parking was also available, which is a big plus when you come by car. Maybe we just had a bad day there for a lunch. We will have to give it another try for sure. Prices were as expected for this area.

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.
