4.8 / 5.0(685 reviews)

Easily one of our favourite restaurants on our trip. The first time we came we had the BBQ fish, and then came back after pre-ordering lobster. Quality of food is absolutely stunning - even the morning glory is fresh and well prepared. Staff are super friendly and make sure you try their fresh juices! We were fortunate to visit the place on the first day. After that we've been visiting the place once a day during our stay. It looks like an ordinary roadside cafe in Thailand, but the food is delicious and is served in beautiful manner. The prices are also adequate. Very recommend this place. My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at this authentic Thai restaurant. The seafood dishes were absolutely delicious and full of unique flavors—we could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. I asked the chef to prepare my barracuda without a garlic-based sauce I wanted to avoid, and she was incredibly kind and accommodating. It’s rare to find such attention to detail and customer care. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Thai cuisine and great service!

After looking for somewhere to eat, we came across glowing reviews for The Fish Restaurant — and we’re so glad we decided to try it. When we arrived around 7pm, the front seating area was already buzzing, and the courtyard was booked for a large group. The team kindly set up a table for us in the courtyard anyway, giving us a quieter, more intimate spot, which was such a thoughtful touch. We were given plenty of time to browse the menu before our waiter came over. When we asked for a recommendation, he suggested the BBQ barracuda — we couldn’t resist. We swapped the mash for fries and also ordered the BBQ seabass. The portions were generous, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The seabass was perfectly cooked — soft, delicate, and infused with lemongrass and chilli, giving it a wonderful depth of flavour. The accompanying fish sauce was fresh and tangy, pairing beautifully with the dish. The barracuda was a highlight, served with a vibrant mango salsa that was bursting with freshness — I loved every bite. The fried rice was the ideal side for both dishes, packed with vegetables and seasoned to perfection. This was, without doubt, one of the best meals we’ve had in Thailand across all our visits. The service team were warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience even more special. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back

The four of us each ordered a different meal and we were all very pleased. The presentation was very good and the taste even better! I would definitely recommend and come back here.
