Po.Pamong Seafood
Po.Pamong Seafood has built a strong following in Muang Pattaya by keeping things simple: fresh seafood cooked with confident, traditional Thai technique. Standout dishes that draw repeat visitors include stir-fried crab meat with curry and grilled prawns, both frequently praised for their quality and flavour. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, typical of a well-loved local seafood restaurant where the cooking does the talking rather than the setting. Service is functional rather than attentive — staff take orders and deliver food efficiently, but diners looking for a more polished dining experience may want to adjust expectations accordingly. Pricing sits at the mid-range level, which most visitors find reasonable given the freshness of the ingredients, though costs can climb if ordering premium or less common seafood items. The restaurant opens daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, making it a flexible option for both lunch and dinner throughout the week. Good to know: Po.Pamong draws significant crowds, and wait times for a table can stretch anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour during peak periods. Arriving between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM on a weekday is the most reliable way to avoid the longest queues. Check their Facebook page before visiting for current menu availability, as fresh catch offerings can vary day to day.

Visitor Reviews
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.
Verdict? I'd definitely go back and eat there again. Authentic Thai seafood taste, the price is reasonable as long as you don't order something too exotic. Service is good, atmosphere is ok for a local restaurant but as it's not beachfront so nothing to write home about.
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.

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.
