I’ve dined here with friends, family, and my dearest, The Bear Group; no matter how busy it gets, the service is always personal and attentive.

As a seafood lover, I’ve had the pleasure of trying several dishes at Kungthong Seafood, and in my experience, the Spicy Seafood Salad is a true standout. The balance of bold flavors and textures makes it a must-try! 🦀 On my visit, I also indulged in some delicious crab dishes, which were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor.

Seafood in Bangkok can actually be a hit or miss, but when you find a place like Kungthong Seafood, you know you’ve struck gold. It’s not always easy to get high-quality, fresh seafood in the middle of the city without paying a premium.

Still, the Kungthong Seafood team has their own way and manages to combine freshness and affordability in a way that feels like a hidden treasure. This isn’t your average seafood spot—this is where you come to savor real, flavorful Thai seafood just the way it should meant to be enjoyed.

 

🐻 Food Quality

The Bear Travel Rating 4

Fresh, high-quality seafood

The seafood here is somehow sourced fresh daily, so every dish bursts with authentic ocean flavor.

From the juicy prawns to the tender crab, each bite is a taste of the sea.

Traditional Thai cuisine

The menu is packed with classic Thai dishes, highlighting the bold flavors Thailand is known for.

Whether it’s the spicy seafood salad or the perfectly grilled fish, every dish reflects Thai culinary tradition.

 

One of my absolute favorites here is the Grilled River Prawns. Oh my! They’re huge, meaty, and grilled to smoky perfection 🤤 Pair that with their homemade seafood dipping sauce—tangy, spicy, and just the right amount of kick—and you’ve got a flavor explosion 🍤 Other standouts include the Fried Fish with Garlic and the Spicy Seafood Salad, both bursting with flavor and texture. Each dish is a true reflection of traditional Thai seafood cooking, and the freshness of the ingredients really shines through.

If you’re into spicy food like me, you’re also in for a treat! The traditional dishes here pack a punch, but the heat is balanced so perfectly that it doesn’t overpower any natural seafood flavors. And for those who prefer milder options, just get real! Don't force yourself like I did (years ago 😉), so let the staff know—they’re happy to adjust the spice level to your liking!

 

 

Why Kungthong Seafood Offers Great Value for Money?

When it comes to value for money, Kungthong Seafood is among those that stands out. It’s rare to find seafood of this quality in Bangkok without paying a premium, but here, you get high-end dishes at prices that won’t break the bank.

The portion sizes are generous enough to share with friends or take some home, making it a fantastic option for both locals and visitors looking for a delicious, budget-friendly meal.
