About
Big Fish is the seafood restaurant on the sixth floor of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya, a stylish design hotel on Pattaya Second Road in the north-central part of the city. It’s a hotel restaurant in the best sense — a sleek, contemporary space trading on big views over the rooftops to the Gulf of Thailand — and it has built a name locally for its evening seafood buffet and its sunset atmosphere.
What to order
The headline event is the four-hour seafood buffet, run Wednesday to Sunday evenings (about 5:30–9:30pm), from around 849 baht net per adult (under-5s free, 6–11s half price). It leans on freshness and variety: prawns, squid, crab, seasonal fish and live grill stations. On other days, and alongside the buffet, there’s an à la carte menu that runs from seafood staples — fish and chips, spicy Thai seafood, grilled prawns and fish — to international plates like Caesar salad and grilled Australian lamb, with a full bar. À la carte prices are quoted before VAT and service.

Honest verdict
Come for the view, the sunset and the buffet spread rather than bargain prices — this is a polished hotel restaurant, not a beachfront seafood shack, and it’s priced to match. Book ahead for the Wednesday-to-Sunday buffet and for a window table at sunset, and it’s one of the more memorable seafood dinners in this part of town.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
Big Fish is the sixth-floor seafood restaurant at the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya, on Pattaya Second Road in the northern part of the city — a smarter, hotel-restaurant take on Pattaya seafood, with panoramic views over the rooftops to the Gulf of Thailand. Its best-known draw is the four-hour seafood buffet, run Wednesday to Sunday evenings (roughly 5:30–9:30pm), which piles on fresh prawns, squid, crab, seasonal fish and grill-station cooking for a fixed price — around 849 baht net per adult, with young children eating free and 6–11s at half price. Outside the buffet nights it works as an all-day à la carte restaurant and bar, mixing seafood specialities (fish and chips, spicy Thai seafood, grilled catches) with international dishes like Caesar salad and grilled lamb, plus a full drinks list. The mood is design-hotel contemporary rather than beach-shack rustic: a sleek interior, sunset views and live music in the evenings. Prices are mid-to-upper — you're paying for the setting and the buffet spread rather than rock-bottom market rates — so it suits a special dinner or a sunset splurge more than a cheap everyday feed. Booking ahead is sensible for the buffet nights and for a good sunset table.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Big Fish restaurant in Pattaya?
It's on the sixth floor of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Pattaya, on Pattaya Second Road (Sai 2) in the north-central part of town — not on the beach itself, but high enough up for sweeping views over the city to the Gulf. It's an easy baht-bus or Grab ride from the North Pattaya and Central Festival areas.
How much is the Big Fish seafood buffet and when does it run?
The four-hour seafood buffet runs Wednesday to Sunday evenings, roughly 5:30–9:30pm, priced from about 849 baht net per adult. Children under 5 eat free and ages 6–11 get 50% off. It's fixed-price with fresh seafood, grill stations and more; confirm the current rate and days when you book.
Do I need to book a table at Big Fish?
For the Wednesday-to-Sunday seafood buffet and for a prime sunset table it's worth reserving ahead, especially at weekends and in high season. You can book by phone (+66 38 930 600) or via the hotel's LINE and email. À la carte at quieter times is usually fine to walk in.
What's on the menu at Big Fish besides the buffet?
Outside buffet nights it's an all-day à la carte restaurant and bar. Expect seafood specialities — fish and chips, spicy Thai seafood, grilled prawns, squid and fish — alongside international plates like Caesar salad and grilled Australian lamb, plus a proper drinks list. Prices are exclusive of VAT and service.
Does Big Fish have sea views?
Yes — being on the sixth floor of the hotel, it looks out over Pattaya's rooftops to the Gulf of Thailand, which is the whole point of eating up here. Evenings are the draw, with the sunset over the bay and live music; ask for a window or terrace-side table when booking.
Is Big Fish good for a special occasion?
It's well suited to one — the smart design-hotel setting, the views and the generous seafood buffet make it a popular choice for a celebration or a sunset dinner. Families are welcome (with free/half-price rates for children on the buffet); it's more an occasion venue than a cheap everyday meal.
