Why go, and how to do it well
You go for the pier, the live seafood tanks and the view across the water, not for a polished kitchen. This is an open-air place on the water off Thepkrasattri Road near Ko Kaeo, and it looks its age. Menus that have clearly seen a few decades, plastic-chair comfort, shorts and a t-shirt and nobody blinks. The people who love it have been coming for years and rate the freshness and the fair prices above everything else.
Not every dish lands. Some diners have found the fried squid soggy and the salted fish fried rice a bit flat, and the fish can come out dry even when it's fresh. My advice is to keep it simple and let them cook what's swimming in the tanks rather than ordering across the whole menu. Order the morning glory alongside. Service is quick, which counts for a lot when you're hungry and watching the light go.

Its one of those places that as you mske your way there, you wonder if the gps got it wrong. Persevere, and its charm is the extremely laid back yet local but visited by determined tourists vibe. At least thats what it felt like on a late weekday lunch. Place looks weather worn, and adds to the charm. Really, everything we ate was good. Its definitely a shorts and t shirt place. Crocs will complete your casual chill. So will a Singha.
Food is delicious! Fresh lived seafood and plenty of options. The view at sunset is marvelous. Price is more than reasonable.

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.
