very good seafood restaurant. Authentic Thai for locals. Grill on the table, big seafood buffet with self service. Flat rate. Good experience for foreigners to get close to locals. Inexpensive. Nice setting. Come again 2025. Still highly recommended.

Amazingly delicious all you can eat restaurant. For less then 300 baht per person you bbq or cook as much seafood or meat as you can eat. I'm not too big on sea food but there's plenty of tender meat options. It also comes with optional sides (mushrooms, noodles, corn etc.) and ice cream. The meats are deliciously marinated. I will come back.

Delicious food and great service. It was particularly hot the night we went, and though the central tables have fans, there aren’t enough to cover the tables around the outer edges of this open air restaurant. With burning charcoal and a hot pot on the table we were drenched in sweat. A staff member went to 7-eleven for us and bought cooling towels which helped immensely. Great service! Just try to get a table under the fans - or don’t go to Thailand in the hot season lol.

The seafood buffet is an incredible deal at just 280baht per person. The price is more than fair for what you get. The selection is great, with 5-6 different types of seafood, along with pork, beef, vegetables, and a few cooked dishes. Staying open until 2 or 3 a.m., which is perfect for a late-night feast. I ended up coming back two nights in a row!

A great spot just a short walk from my Hotel. Went as a pair and wow was I glad my date found this place for us. Can't believe I walked by it for 2 weeks and did not notice it. Very cozy open restaurant with a lot of tables and even larger selection of quality food. Meat, seafood, veggies, noodles they have it all. I was especially happy with the ice cream corner. The Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Walking in you could see how happy the guests were and immediately could tell this was a great place to dine, relax and have some fun. For the 2 of us our bill came to just under 750 Baht, which is an incredible deal (price, service and atmosphere) compared to what I am used to back home in America. I will absolutely come back when I return to Thailand.
