Laciana By The Sea Original

4.5(1,346 reviews)$$$$

Laciana By The Sea Original is a laid-back, home-style restaurant perched along the Hua Hin coastline, drawing both locals and visitors with its relaxed Mediterranean-influenced decor, open-air setting, and direct views over the water. The informal, welcoming atmosphere gives the place a lived-in, residential quality that sets it apart from more polished beachfront venues in the area. The menu leans on fresh seafood and Thai classics, but the pizza has emerged as a standout — repeatedly praised by visitors as a highlight worth ordering. Dishes like chicken fried rice and mushroom pizza have also drawn positive attention, suggesting the kitchen covers a broader range than a purely seafood-focused menu might imply. Staff are consistently noted as friendly and helpful, contributing to the homey feel that regulars and first-time visitors alike tend to mention. Pricing sits at the mid-range level, offering reasonable value for a waterside setting. The restaurant opens daily at 11:30 and runs through to 22:00, making it a practical option for lunch, late afternoon meals, or dinner. Arriving before sunset is worth considering for those who want to take full advantage of the sea views, as the setting loses some of its visual appeal after dark. Note that nearby road works have been reported by recent visitors, though the restaurant itself remains open and accessible during construction.

Visitor Reviews

This is a seaside restaurant that, honestly, should have a very beautiful view. Unfortunately, we arrived after sunset, so we didn’t really get to enjoy the scenery. We came as a large group of almost 20 people, and the staff handled it reasonably well. The food was served fairly quickly, although some dishes were delivered to the wrong section of the table at first. Overall, the food was good and enjoyable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as the restaurant gets very crowded and fills up fast even on weekdays. The outdoor seating area with the sea view is especially popular. If possible, come before sunset and plan to stay for a long, relaxed evening to fully enjoy the atmosphere.

Good food, nice view, and great service! The atmosphere feels very homey, and the staff are friendly. The highlight for us was the seafood — incredibly fresh and you must try their pizza, especially the truffle one. It was a 10/10 for us! Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and will definitely recommend it to others.

I just ate with my partner today, the main road is still in repairs. But the restaurant is open. The staffs are helpful, the food are good and delicious, we ordered chicken fried rice and mushrooms pizza. They give us discount because of the inconvenience. And before leave the staff give us ice cream as the compliments

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.
