Pupen Seafood

PuPen Seafood Restaurant is a great spot in Pattaya if you want fresh Thai seafood with a relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful waterfront view. The restaurant is large and open air with plenty of seating, and the giant blue crab statue at the entrance makes it easy to find. It is a fun place to sit back, enjoy the breeze, and take in the view while eating. I had the pineapple shrimp fried rice, something I had been wanting for quite a while, and PuPen did not disappoint. It was served in a whole pineapple and the portion was huge, so large that I could not finish it. I also ordered the shrimp cakes (Tod Mun Goong), which were crispy and flavorful and came with a sweet dipping sauce. My company had the spicy papaya salad (Som Tam), which had a strong kick but great flavor, along with crispy fried baby shrimp (Tod Kung Foy) that were thin and crunchy with a nice dipping sauce. I had a beer and my company had a Coke. The service stood out. The waiter kept an eye on the table and refilled my glass whenever it reached about halfway, which was a nice touch and made the experience feel attentive without being intrusive. Great food, generous portions, and a beautiful setting by the water. I would happily return to PuPen Seafood Restaurant the next time I am in Pattaya. It is a great place to enjoy Thai seafood with a view.

If you're visiting Pattaya, this seafood restaurant is an absolute must. Despite the bustling crowd, service is impressively fast — we received our order within minutes without a long wait. The aroma and flavor of each dish are truly exceptional. My personal favorite is the deep-fried shrimp cake, which tastes just like the traditional version from my hometown - crispy, flavorful, and nostalgic. The papaya salad with crab is also a standout, offering a perfect balance of spice and freshness. Whether you're a seafood lover or simply exploring local cuisine, this place should definitely be on your list when you're in Pattaya.

Pu Pen Seafood was absolutely delicious! 🦀 The crab was incredibly fresh with sweet, firm meat — you can really taste the quality. The seafood dipping sauce was perfectly balanced: spicy, tangy, and very flavorful. The restaurant is spacious and great for dining with family or friends. Service was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. Overall, great value for the quality. I will definitely come back again when I’m in Pattaya. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fresh seafood!
