On this page
King Seafood is the landmark seafood house of Walking Street: a big, brightly lit, open-air restaurant that has been feeding tourists on the seafront side of the strip for decades. You pick your dinner — crabs, tiger prawns, lobster, whole fish, shellfish — straight from the ice display at the entrance, choose a cooking style, and eat on a terrace built out over Pattaya Bay.
What to order
Fresh crab and large prawns get the most consistent praise; grilled whole fish, curry crab and garlic-butter prawns are the standing classics. Seafood is priced by weight, with Thai, Chinese and Western preparations. Hours are typically 14:00 to midnight daily — confirm before visiting.
Worth knowing
This is a tourist-strip institution, and it prices like one: expect to pay clearly more than at seafood places on the edge of town, and reviews on food quality are mixed even while the waterfront setting wins people over. Go for the view, the theatre of the ice display and the location; book ahead on peak nights.

- Large ice display of fresh local seafood, sold by weight and cooked in Thai, Chinese or Western styles
- Open until midnight, so it fits naturally before or after a Walking Street evening
Check before relying

- Reviews are mixed (around 3.8/5 on TripAdvisor): the setting draws better marks than the cooking on off nights

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book a table at King Seafood?
On busy evenings in high season, yes — the restaurant itself recommends reserving, and platforms like Klook sell pre-booked dining packages. Early in the evening (before 19:00) walk-ins usually get a table.
How expensive is King Seafood?
Mid-to-upper range for Pattaya. Most seafood is priced by weight, so a meal with crab or big prawns easily runs several hundred to over a thousand baht per person. Check prices on the display before ordering.
What should I order?
Reviewers consistently rate the fresh crab and large prawns; grilled or steamed whole fish and Thai-style curry crab are the classic orders. You choose your seafood from the ice display and pick the cooking style.
Is there a view?
Yes — the dining terrace sits over the water on the bay side of Walking Street, with open-air tables looking across Pattaya Bay.
