517 Fisherman Seafood Restaurant Patong — Restaurant in Patong

This place is an absolute gem! We stumbled upon it after reading about it in a review of another spot we used to frequent. After an unfortunate incident at the old place, we decided it was time for a change—and wow, are we glad we did!

The Thai food here is simply incredible—bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and unbelievably tasty. The seafood platter for two was a highlight. It featured grilled lobster, jumbo shrimp, crab, squid, and more. Every bite was divine! The portion was so generous that we ended up taking some home.

The fried rice served in a pineapple was another standout—just 220 Baht for a small portion. The grilled seafood platter for two was 2,100 Baht, and the fresh, tangy papaya salad was only 100 Baht. All the dishes were worth every penny.

We’re in love with this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Thai food and seafood. Don’t...

As we walked by, a staff member enthusiastically urged us to come in, claiming this was the best seafood restaurant in town. Intrigued, we decided to try their seafood sampler for two. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what was promised. After waiting 45 minutes with no food in sight, we repeatedly asked the waiter for an update, only to be met with dismissive indifference or outright aggression.

When the food finally arrived, it was a complete letdown—bland, flavorless, and decidedly average. To make matters worse, when my wife expressed her dissatisfaction at the end of the meal, the owner shockingly attempted to force us out of the restaurant in front of other patrons. This was hands down one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had.

In hindsight, we should have walked out. A complete tourist trap with mediocre foods and poor Customer Service. So walk by don’t even...

I normally don’t write reviews. But this one, I must say something. It was Very disappointed. If you want authentic Thai food, definitely do not go here. It’s totally catered for foreigners do not know any better about Thai food, I ordered grilled pork neck, it’s a very rough and dry piece of pork chop. Chewy and overcooked. My worst pork neck in life when they don’t even know what are the difference in pork parts. The raw prawns with fish sauce dish, the prawns weren’t fresh. The meat was slightly white it’s abit off putting. The seafood glass noodle salad was far too overpriced, 200 thb for 3 small prawns and few squid lots of glass noodles and the taste was weak, nothing like an authentic place. Never gonna return ever or recommend anyone to come. What a waste of money and 1 dinner in my...
