Moom Aroi Na Kluea

4.5(21,628 reviews)$$$$

Come for the prawns and come before dark. This is a huge seafood operation on the water at Na Kluea, hundreds of tables spread out towards the sea, and the whole point is fresh shellfish cooked simply and seasoned hard. Whole fried fish comes out juicy. The prawns are big and sweet enough to eat on their own. Crab fried rice and nam prik with a plate of raw vegetables round out a table nicely, and there's cold beer and wine if you're settling in.

Two honest caveats. It costs more than an average Thai seafood place, and reviewers say so plainly, though most decide the setting earns it. And if you turn up for a late dinner you're paying that premium for a view of black water. Order for the table, share everything, don't overthink it.

If you’re looking for a genuine change of scenery and an unforgettable meal right on the water, look no further than Moom Aroi Na Kluea. Yes, you are going to pay a bit of a premium here, but let me tell you, for the absolute freshest seafood and this spectacular beachside/ocean view, it is 100% worth it. Honestly, it's worth the 1 to 2 hour drive down from Bangkok just for the experience alone. The setup is massive, with hundreds of tables stretching right out in front of the ocean. But here is the ultimate pro tip: book early if you want the best seat in the house right on the water's edge to catch that evening ocean breeze and sunset. As for the food? You absolutely cannot leave without trying the Salted Egg Prawns (the squid is phenomenal, too). The rich, golden salted egg sauce coating those massive, fresh prawns or squid is out of this world. We paired with curry egg crab, it's a flawless spread and yes Bernie's favourite salmon sashimi. You simply cannot get any better than this for dining in Na Kluea. Top-tier food, top-tier views. Highly recommended!

Moom Aroi is a seafood restaurant that never disappoints. The seafood is very fresh, and the flavors are bold and authentically Thai. Every dish is well seasoned and satisfying, especially the fish and prawn dishes — the meat is sweet, fresh, and delicious on its own. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, making it a great place to dine with family or friends. Overall, it’s a tasty, worthwhile, and impressive seafood experience.

The seafood is good and very fresh, we did enjoy the food. Very good location next to the waterfront with a little bit beach unfortunately we didn’t see much of it because we went there for dinner. It’s dark in the sea. The location of the restaurant is 4.4 kilometres from north Pattaya which you need a car or uber/grab/bolt to take you there. It’s a bit away from busy Pattaya area but I think it’s worthy of the visit. Just think the price is a little bit higher than average. Slightly pricey but really good quality and very fresh seafood. We all enjoyed the steamed fish, also the deep fried fish. The grilled cuttlefish is also gorgeous. Seafood is better than chicken wings my personal opinion. The only thing we have a small issue is they don’t offer draft beer when we visited. A bit disappointed.

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.
