Sea you
Sea you is an all-you-can-eat mukata buffet restaurant in Pattaya City, specialising in fresh seafood cooked at the table using a combination of grilling and hot pot — a style of dining where guests cook their own food over charcoal. Reviewers highlight the freshness of the seafood and the value for money, with the buffet available at a notably low price point that makes it a popular choice for those wanting variety without a large spend.
The atmosphere is casual and social, drawing a mix of tourists and Thai locals. First-time visitors to mukata-style dining should come prepared for a hands-on experience: food arrives raw and diners manage the cooking themselves at the table. Charcoal and soup bases are provided, and the menu covers a broad range of seafood and other options. The open-air or informal setting suits Pattaya's relaxed dining culture, and the venue tends to be lively during evening hours.
A practical note worth considering: one reviewer reported noticeably different levels of service when dining alone compared to larger groups, suggesting the experience may be better suited to those visiting with friends or family. Sea you opens daily at 5 PM and stays open until 5 AM, making it a genuine late-night option for those out exploring Pattaya's evening scene. Walk-ins appear to be accommodated, but arriving earlier in the evening is advisable to secure a table and get the most attentive service.

This is problably the best sea food place in whole Thailand. Good food and nice service! All you can eat fresh seafood for 300 bath. I will come back many times! I also fished up some myself from their pool, very fun!
I had a wonderful dining experience at Seayou Mukata Buffet Restaurant. The price was very reasonable for the quality and variety offered. The seafood was fresh, and the soup was both flavorful and satisfying. I especially enjoyed the dessert options — the sweet watermelon was refreshing, and the ice cream came in a delightful variety of flavors. Overall, it was a satisfying and enjoyable meal. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty and affordable buffet. Loved it!
Don’t go here unless you bring Thai friends. I came alone, and the staff just dropped off a grill and the beer I ordered. They refilled the charcoal once — that was it. Meanwhile, tables with Thai guests got both a grill and a hotpot. The servers poured their beers and even helped them with the barbecue. Nobody cared to check on me. I honestly felt like a second-class guest. First picture my table. Other two with Thai.

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.
