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.

Why go, and how to do it well
Come here for seafood cooked the way Thai families order it, not the way beach-road menus water it down. Grilled fish, prawns, spicy seafood salads, crab curry, and the squid in its own black ink that reviewers keep coming back for, sometimes ordering two plates in one sitting. Flavors run traditional, which in practice means a sweeter edge than some visitors expect. The dipping sauces on the side sort that out, so use them.
The room is open and airy with plenty of tables, and the parking is generous, which tells you who this place is really built for, families and groups arriving by car. Service gets consistent praise for being quick and friendly. Portions aren't huge, so order more dishes than you think you need and share them around, which suits the food anyway. Prices are the kind people mention approvingly rather than wince at.
It sits on Soi Phatthaya Tai 8, a bit removed from the main tourist zone, and that distance is part of why the cooking stays honest.

Reviews from Google
One of the best local seafood restaurants around! The food is super tasty and freshly cooked — you can really taste the freshness from the sea. The menu has a great variety, from grilled fish and prawns to spicy seafood salads and crab dishes. Everything comes out fast, and the staff are friendly and efficient. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and there’s a lot of parking space, which makes it easy to come with friends or family. Perfect place for a relaxed seafood meal that feels truly local. Highly recommended!
A restaurant with an open and airy atmosphere, plenty of seating, and spacious parking. The staff provides good service. Overall, the food is tasty and clean, though the portions aren’t very large. We even ordered two plates of the squid in black ink!
Totally,all Thai sea foods are delicious and fresh. They have large car parking and restaurant. Reservation is available. Food price is reasonable. Recommend to try foods here.

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.
