Positive User: The place is so sophisticated. The setting is so grand. Hence, the expectation for the taste of food was also high. Unfortunately, we felt that there was something missing with their tomyum. Everything else was great.
Positive User: A popular seafood restaurant chain, found in several major tourist shopping centres.
Guaranteed excellent food at reasonable prices.
However note that there’s only seafood and no other meats.
Positive User: I never miss this place if I get to Thailand. The food is super delicious and fresh, it doesn’t break the bank and it is always consistent. One of my favourite places to eat at. The crowd doesn’t lie :)… Always full restaurant.

Positive User: Came here on a recommendation from a friend. Loved the signature fried fish. We also ordered the XL river prawn. For the prawn, we ordered it grilled. Asked for some salt to go with the prawns. Just add a bit an the taste is further enhanced.
The prawns are expensive thou. 3 XL prawns came out to 3k plus.
Positive User: I never fail to visit this restaurant whenever I visit Bangkok. I am so happy that it survives through covid. Tonight I had:
1. Tom Yum Goong
2. Stir fried crab meat and prawn creamy omelette
3. Lime steamed squid with egg roes
4. Baked scallops and glass noodle
The only thing that wasn’t nice tonight was the Mango sticky rice.
Positive User: Chain store on the 3rd floor of Central World.
I was concerned because there were often reviews saying it was unfriendly, but they responded very kindly.
Overall, it was okay to eat, but compared to the prices in Thailand and other famous restaurants, it is a bit questionable whether it is recommended. If you’re wondering what to eat when you visit Central World, it might be worth a visit.
Two people visited and paid 55,000 won.

Three Stars
Neutral User: The fish was very fresh and huge for only 25$, the kale and mixed vegetables were barely passable dishes, the prawns in the curry were pretty stale and old.
Service was pretty much mixed, there’s no extra effort or going the extra mile for service like we experienced at other restaurants. You have to ask for things and remind them to bring it to you
Neutral User: Waitress seems robotic.
Fish is not really fresh.
But overall dishes all excellent.
Standard dropped since my last visit 5 years ago.
Neutral User: Seafood restaurant but in a young style. Fast service, modern cooking style compared to Vietnam. It’s okay to eat!

Two Stars
Negative User: Perhaps my expectations were too high, but the crab fried rice was bland and uninspiring. The mantis shrimp was certainly not what was shown in the menu. These were the size of larger anchovies. And similarly flat in taste. Very disappointing.
One Star
Negative User: The food are 5 stars but the services here is bad…. we waited for seats while standing for more than 10mins and we saw the female manager in black walking nonchalantly around without entertaining us…. all the staff were hiding at the kitchen area busy chit chatting….
Finally seated and ordered our food.. the fried seabass is still the best and we have to request for the special lime chilli instead of servicing us together with the fish… the last dish, which is the seabass soup took nearly 30mins to served us…
We visited other branches at Siam Paragon and Silom complex etc and this branch has the worst services… they have to buff up their services if they want to survive in this service industry..
Negative User: Bad taste of all food and so expensive . Doesn’t fit their quality. Thai tea is so weird taste and coconut so smelly. The fired fish just normal ; and the tom yum soup only salty and spicy no sour favour. Wasting my money and no idea why many tourists suggest this. Destroyed my day!!!!
Negative User: Horrible service from the waiter. A coffee cup of pale chinese tea costs 50 baht. When I asked if I could change it to a kettle for 85 baht, I was declined. Generally things here are expensive and the food portion is pathetically small. The fried fish tastes good but mainly due to cooking method… you could probably get the same dish in China for less than half the price. I would not come back again.
