Positive User: All cooking done fresh with tasty. The owner here is Jennifer Kim’s brother. Jennifer Kim is thai famous singer and ex the voice commentator. All dressing and seafood sauce are yummy. The recommended dishes are fried shrimp with tamarind sauce and joob shell. Easy to park here but you have to find the right parking zone for this restaurant to gain 2 hours parking free which helps you save 40 baht cost.
Positive User: Great ‘locals’ place with very affordable seafood buffet just under 600b each. Top quality, clean, fresh.

Came to this place as we wanted to try seafood buffet in bangkok and found this shop on google with rather high rating.
It was good overall, just that we thought the ambience can be abit better.
The place looks empty and there are 4 types of buffet for selection…
529B, 629B, 700+ B & 800+ B.
We chose the 529B and the selections were quite ok and pretty happy with the portion.. every dishes came in smaller portion so you can keep on ordering for 1.5hr.
My personal fav were the fish, oysters & squid. The crab fried rice is so good and with wok hey. Crabs are ok too.
The only thing that was not recorded in any of the reviews is that everyone must also order the refillable drinks + fruits at 39B otherwise you are not eligible for the buffet.
Besides than that, they also charge 10% service charge too if not mistaken.
So our bill for 2 pax is approx 1,200+ B.
It was good but not excellent in my opinion.
Wish them well as the food is really not bad.
Positive User: Me & 23 more colleagues of mine had our company event dinner there. The owners were extremely accommodating & were flexible in negotiating the final offer with our person who helped set this up. Noting that the periods of booking were difficult at the time of the year as well it was a Friday night too.
We were seated upstairs. The surroundings of the restaurant are pleasant & hides from the main road. All kinds of dishes, sea creatures & menu orders were coming in from all of us unfortunately in a disorganised state but they kept pace and were quick on their feet.
Noting that that everything served was tasty, ingredients were all fresh so my expectation that we will receive a washed down version of an original menu were unfounded. We were allowed to have our wines with a small not even worth mentioning fee. Ice-cream followed as a token of their appreciation was a sweet gesture.
Definitely recommend & we’re heading there back again soon.

Three Stars
Neutral User: Good point :
Service is great, price is good and seafood is fresh , large parking next by
But :
taste is very mild, sometime bland, over use of margarine with butter arome in some dishes, a lot of people like it but not for me
Neutral User: The food menu is quite small compared to the price of snapper, but for some menus the staff is not very thorough in taking orders, causing delays. Overall, the taste is satisfactory. Parking is quite difficult to find, along Banthat Thong.

Two Stars
Negative User: The place is small, the price has increased, quite high. But the quality has not improved. The taste is just disappointed. The size of the shrimp is quite small. The price does not include water, 3 people spend 2000 baht for a very small blue crab. But the big cockle Steamed fish with lemon was tasteless.
Negative User: When going to eat, go up to the 2nd floor, waiting for food for a very long time Even though there are not many people ordered a lot of things But before getting each dish Until I had to walk downstairs to take the order myself. I spoke to the waiter and didn’t know anything. It’s like being a Burmese person, waiting until you’re bored and eating isn’t worth more than 700 baht.
One Star
Negative User: Please don’t give me a star because the taste is not mellow, sweet and salty, the owner is not a word I do not recommend further. Because I’m afraid that I will lose my credit for recommending a shop that doesn’t matter to others in the future…
Negative User: Went to eat buffet promotion 399 on 17 July ’19
The menu has very few items to choose from.
Poor raw material quality Stir Fried Blue Crab with Curry Powder Crabs are slightly bigger than crabs, cockles, oysters, the size of kindergarten children.
The good ones are fried seabass with fish sauce and crab fried rice.
But for 3 people, only one fish can be ordered.
Negative User: Cockles are very small, smell. Sweet clams are not burnt, use scalding. Snapper Nueng uses artificial lime juice and is very sour. Shrimp Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp Dried mussels on the lid Coconut milk for oysters is very rare. Deep-fried fish with fish sauce. Good taste. Good tasting fried rice no hand washing water overall need to improve
