Restoran Duyong — Restaurant in Pahang

Went to the shop at 8.30pm, already there were group of people in 4 tables. Almost waited for an 1 1/2 hours for order to be taken. Order was taken at 10.20pm. The food arrived at 11.00pm.

If i can give -tive stars i would give. This was the worst seafood i have tried, for someone with a tastebud of going to Jinjang, Kepong, KL, and Pasir Penambang for seafoods throughout my life.

The cook is a Thai lady, only one person cooking and she have no idea what she’s cooking. What we ordered and how it came:

Thai style Fish - Siakap : Fish was not fully steamed, had the raw taste, the sauce was not even near to Thai style, tasted like diluted tomato sauce. Chilli chicken with spices: No taste at all, the sauce was watery. Tom Yam Fried Rice: I leave you to judge by looking at the picture, is that even Tomyam fried rice? Never used the tomyam paste. It looks like normal egg fried rice. When we asked why its not even 5% similar to the picture, she said we need to mention seafood and this is chicken based, but the taste was not even there.

No point arguing as they cant understand what we are trying to say. All of this came upto...

I came to this restaurant with friends while I was in Cherating. I would say this would be my first and last time here. Definitely not a recommended restaurant based on the following reasons:

1. The food is not fresh especially the seafood.
2. The tableware is dirty, especially the glasses - all come with a layer of stain. Hygiene is a big issue with this restaurant.
3. The staff are rude especially the woman who prepared and served drinks. Asked to change a glass (only once) because it was too dirty and she just stared at us, mumbled rudely then only changed for us unwillingly.
4. Expensive and not compatible with the quality of food served.
5. Low standard - asked for a proper receipt and the staff only gave us a hand written receipt as shown in one of the photos.
6. Run-down environment.

This is the worst restaurant we have visited during our 3-day stay in Cherating. Trust me, you can easily find a better restaurant with good food, good service and cleaner environment along the roadside with cheaper price.

I hope this review would help you in avoiding a bad restaurant as bad dining experience would spoil our...

Came here for lunch after we check-out from a beach campsite nearby. We arrived a little after 11am and was told that the kitchen needs some time to get ready. Not wanting to drive out to look for other restaurants, we ask if it's okay for us to wait inside, and they kindly let us in (it was Monday and I guess cuz we're the only customers they had at that time). It did took them a while to prepare after we place down our order (the same staff was very patient unlike how other reviews described her), one dish out at a time, but the food was worth it (tomyam, green curry, vege, fried squids). Some dishes can be pricey like the fish so do ask how much per kg before you proceed. Alcohol drink is also expensive here. The restaurant (run by Thai-Malay families) provides a scenic river view fronting a row of beautiful mangrove trees so the place definitely make up for a memorable dining experience with families and friends. There is limited/no designated parking space though so do park sensibly without obstructing...
