Why go, and how to do it well
You pick your seafood, then you cook it. That's the deal here, and it's why the place works. Blue crab, big prawns, oysters, sea bass, horseshoe crab, most of it alive or near enough, and you grill or boil it at your own table. The dipping sauces do a lot of heavy lifting, especially with the crab. Somtam gets made fresh, and the mango sticky rice is worth leaving room for.
Reviews put the buffet anywhere from under 500 baht to around 800 baht depending on what tier you go for, which is fair money for this quality of seafood in Ao Nang. Service splits opinion. Most people describe staff cracking crab shells for them and clearing debris between rounds, while one reviewer felt largely left alone. I'd read that as a busy-night thing rather than a policy. It's casual, loud in a good way, and built for groups.

Reviews from Google
Tong Talay Seafood Restaurant – Krabi Excellent value for money. 800 baht per person for an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet with an impressive selection. All the seafood was super fresh, great quality, and with plenty of choices. Fish, crabs, prawns, and more are cooked for you – grilled, steamed, or prepared the way you like. The service was very good, attentive and efficient, which made the experience even better. There’s a good selection of drinks available; please note the restaurant is halal, so alcohol is not served. Highly recommended if you love fresh seafood and want a satisfying, high-quality meal in Krabi.
Incredible seafood buffet for under 500 baht. Everything from the shrimp to the oysters was super fresh. The waitress even opened my crab for me and kept the table spotless by clearing shells immediately. Top-tier service and 10/10 value. I even bring my own butter for seasoning
If you are in Krabi - visit this place , the food is crazy delicious, everything is fresh and alive. You cook it yourself, whether you want to grill it or boil it. The best mango sticky rice I ever tried in Thailand so far! They cook for you fresh papaya salad. There is very big variety of different seafood. For a review in google you will get free coconut. We are very picky eaters and we really really recommend this place. The only minus is that there is no service at all here , but this honestly doesn’t make any difference, when the food is delicious! Enjoy guys 🙏🏼

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.
