Why go, and how to do it well
Order for the table here, or you'll be defeated by plate two. Portions are large, prices sit in the mid-range, and the kitchen works through classic Thai coastal cooking, from tom yum goong, fresh oysters, curried crab, salt-steamed shrimp, lemon-steamed snapper, fried morning glory, fried rice. Reviewers single out the salt-steamed shrimp more than anything else. Worth knowing that the heat level is dialed down, so if you want your tom yum to bite, ask.
This is a big room, not an intimate one. On a busy night it can hold well over 200 people, and a good share of them are Thai, which tells you something in Ao Nang. The seats you want are at the large open windows looking out over the sea, and early evening is when that view earns its keep. Service gets consistent praise for being quick and attentive. The more measured reviews say the food is good rather than remarkable, and part of the draw is the outlook. That's a fair trade at these prices.

Reviews from Google
I loved this place and was very happy with the seafood. It was full so probably over 200 people and there were only two of us Westerners in there, so obviously frequented by many locals. The fresh oysters, curried crab, fried rice and asparagus were all really good. But it was the salt steamed shrimp that were truly excellent! I thought it was priced about right for the quality and portion size.
Absolutely delicious food with extremely large portions. I would recommend ordering a few plates to share amongst the table. We loved everything we ordered, & this is a restaurant that we will definitely be visiting again. It’s lovely to be able to sit right at the large open window looking over the sea.
The food at this restaurant was good, though nothing particularly stood out as exceptional. Despite its popularity, it's hard to pinpoint whether the appeal lies in the cuisine or the scenic view. While it may not be a must-visit destination, it offers a dependable option for a decent meal.

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.
