Nang Nual Pattaya
Eating well on Walking Street sounds like a contradiction, and mostly it is. This is the exception people keep coming back to: a seafood and Thai kitchen sitting right in the middle of the noise, mid-range prices, and a steady crowd of both Thais and foreigners working through the menu.
My advice is to go early. Doors open at 2pm and run to 11pm every day, and the hour or two after opening is when you can actually hear the person across the table. By nine the street outside is at full volume and the room follows suit. Seafood is the reason to be here, with the usual Thai staples filling out the rest of the menu, so if you want a proper meal before a night out rather than something soaked up at 1am, this is where I'd point you. Anyone after a quiet, romantic dinner should look elsewhere entirely. That's not what this address is for.

Loud, neon, adults-only after dark, and the seafood is easier before the 9pm crush.

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.
