Why go, and how to do it well
Part of the Siam@Siam hotel property on Thanon Pattayasaisong, Big Fish operates as a seafood buffet restaurant offering guests a straightforward, variety-focused dining experience in central Pattaya. The buffet format makes it well-suited to groups and families, allowing diners to work through multiple seafood preparations in a single sitting rather than committing to a single dish.
The restaurant runs on a split schedule that is worth understanding before planning a visit. Dinner service runs from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM on most evenings — Thursday through Sunday and Wednesday — making it a reliable option for an evening meal after a day of sightseeing. Morning service operates from 6:00 AM to noon, but only on Mondays and Tuesdays, which appears to cater primarily to hotel guests seeking an early breakfast rather than casual walk-in visitors.

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.
