Why go, and how to do it well
The stir-fried crab meat with curry is what people come back for, and the grilled prawns run it close. Rich, creamy, properly spiced curry and thick prawns off the charcoal with that golden shrimp head oil pooling underneath. This is Thai seafood cooking done with confidence, and the kitchen moves fast once you've ordered.
What you don't get is polish. It's a local restaurant, not beachfront, and nobody's fussing over you. Staff take the order, bring the food, and that's the deal. Prices sit mid-range and feel fair unless you start ordering the more exotic items off the board, at which point the bill climbs quickly. If you want service and a view, this isn't your place. If you want the crab curry, it very much is.
The real problem is the wait. Thirty minutes is common, an hour happens, and on a busy evening you'll be standing around wondering whether it's worth it. I'd say it usually is, but go in knowing.

Came to Po.Pamong Seafood and bruhhh it felt like I walked into a seafood arena where everything is fresh, fierce, and cooked with pure 🔥🔥 flavor power hahaha 🐟🦐💥 The grilled prawns? Thicc, juicy, and grilled like they just survived a charcoal bootcamp. That golden shrimp head oil? I’d bottle it if I could. The crab curry? So creamy, rich, and spicy I almost cried and smiled at the same time 🦀💛 Food came out fast too! I was ready to scroll memes while waiting but boom — dishes hit the table before I could even open IG 📱⚡️ The taste? On point. Not watered down, not overly salty — just that deep, real Thai flavor that hugs your tongue and throws a chili party. And the portions? HUGE. Like, “invite two more friends or prepare for leftovers” level 🍛🥹 Solid spot, good vibes, quick service, big plates, and seafood that knows its worth. This one’s going in my top-tier seafood hall of fame.
10/10 - Delicious fresh seafood. 6/10 - Waiting for tables so long, around 30-1 hour. 6/10 - Staffs are ok, just take order and serve. Not much service. 8/10 - Price is a bit high but ok.
Seafood is fresh and good. But if you have to wait for over an hour to get seated, probably can try somewhere else.

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.
