Laem Charoen Seafood — Restaurant in Si Lom Subdistrict

Laem Charoen Seafood (Near BTS) - A Mixed Bag of Thai Delights Craving authentic Thai food with the convenience of BTS access? Laem Charoen Seafood is a popular choice, and I recently visited to try some of their signature dishes. Here's my take, keeping in mind the dishes were shared among three people for a total of 989 Baht, with an all-you-can-eat rice buffet for 30 Baht per plate (though honestly, you might want to pace yourself on the rice!). The Hits & Misses: Jungle Curry with Chicken & Onsen Egg (แกงป่าไก่ ไข่ยางมะตูม): This dish had a lovely, rich consistency with a dominant spicy kick. However, it leaned a bit too spicy without enough sweetness to balance it out. A touch more sweetness would elevate this classic to perfection. Deep-Fried Sea Bass with Fish Sauce & Fresh Chili (ปลากะพงทอดน้ำปลาพริกขี้หนูสด): The star of the show! The sea bass was impressively large and perfectly crispy. While the "fresh chili" aspect was a bit puzzling (it seemed more like a sweet and savory sauce), the overall flavor profile was well-balanced with just the right amount of salt and sweetness. Dipped in the restaurant's superb seafood dipping sauce, it was an absolute winner. Crab Relish (หลนปู): This dish was unfortunately on the sour side. It really needed more sweetness and a reduction in saltiness to achieve that perfect, harmonious flavor balance. Final Thoughts: While some dishes at Laem Charoen Seafood hit the mark, others felt like they were just a tweak away from greatness. The deep-fried sea bass is definitely a must-try, making it worth a visit for that alone. If you're looking for a convenient Thai seafood spot near the BTS, it's worth checking out, but be prepared for some dishes that might not entirely align with your...

Only one reason for rating worst: Reached restaurant at 11.40 with prior booking with team for lunch, ordered food (vegetarian) at 11.50....food not delivered for 70 mins and after waiting for so long, I got pissed off and cancelled the order. When the food didn't come for 30 minutes, we asked the waiter there and he came back checking with the kitchen that it is getting prepared and will be on table very soon. After another 30 minutes I had given up and ended up cancelling the food and leaving hungry and disappointed. By that time, team had finished their lunch which is but obvious. Though manager later came and ensured 20% discount on the food bill which my team had - but guys this is not what we were there for. We wanted to enjoy and make it a very Happy Friday. But the service was pathetic and no one bothered to inform whilst we kept asking how long it will take more for my food to come. This was my second time at your place and I am definitely not gonna be at your so called esteemed restaurant ever again. Hope you understand what customers come to the restaurant for and other customers don't have to go through this kind of disappointment and leave the...

เสียความรู้สึกมาก เป็นลูกค้าประจำที่ไปทานอาหารทุกอาทิตย์ บางอาทิตย์มากกว่า1 ครั้งด้วยซ้ำ จ่ายเงินสมัครบัตรสมาชิก เพราะมาบ่อยเหลือเกิน แต่พอวันนึงลืมกระเป๋าเงิน ไม่มีบัตรมา ขอแจ้งเบอร์โทรศัพท์แทน ที่ร้านแจ้งขอบัตรประชาชนยืนยันตัวตน (ซึ่งบอกว่าจะเอาไปถ่ายเอกสาร!? หลังร้าน) เราก็บอกว่าไม่มีเพราะลืมกระเป๋าเงิน มีแต่รูปถ่ายบัตรในมือถือ ปรากฎว่าใช้ไม่ได้ เราเลยเอารูปใบสมัครบัตรที่กรอกแล้วและมีบัตรตัวจริงอยู่ข้างๆที่เราถ่ายเก็บไว้ ให้ผู้ช่วยผู้จัดการดู ก็ยังบอกว่ายืนยันบัตรไม่ได้ต้องทำสำเนาบัตร (ปกติใช้บัตรก็ไม่ขอบัตรประชาชนนะ งง)บอกว่าเคยมีเคสพนักงานปลอมบัตร (เราก็ไม่ใช่พนักงานเขานะ จะพิสูจน์อะไรหรอ) เราเลยบอกว่างั้นพอเถอะ คือมาทุกอาทิตย์เป็นเดือนๆ ใช้บัตรมากี่ครั้งแล้ว ยังมีปัญหาแบบนี้ เรียกว่าไม่แคร์ลูกค้าแล้วแหละค่ะ ไม่มีอะไรจะคอมเมนท์มากกว่า เสียความรู้สึกมาก เป็นร้านที่ชอบและโอเคมาตลอด แต่ทำแบบนี้เรียกว่า ไม่เห็นความสำคัญของลูกค้าชัดๆ

Disappointed with the service of the staff here. I have supper at this branch every week (at least once a week for many months), as it’s convenient and close to my office. I registered for the membership card because I have supper here so often, and always takes it with me. (Actually, most of the staff can remember me and my friend, know what we always order and know that we have the card). One day I forgot to take my wallet also the membership card, and the staff told me that I need to give them my phone no. and ID card to verify that I own the card instead. I didn’t have any cards with me that time, but I offered them the photos of my ID card and the photo of the application form with the membership card showing the serial no. next to the form, which I took on the day I applied for the card...the staff still said that I cannot claim that I own the card. Just so shocked that no matter how often you have the food there (and always pay for it), or the staff obviously remember and know you, or have the photo of the filled application form that you really applied (and paid them for the card), they are all meaningless when the business doesn’t value...
