Koh Mak Seafood — Restaurant in Trat Province

This restaurant caught my attention because I love seafood (and have visited many seafood places before).

Upon arrival, the place looked neat and clean. The staff was friendly.

However, there was an issue with our order. We were initially assisted by a lady who was called away, after which another staff member took over in the middle of our order.

As a result, dishes we hadn’t ordered were brought to our table. We immediately returned them and informed the waiter that they were not part of our order. (We had written down the numbers of our selected dishes.)

The food was nicely presented and looked fresh, but the taste of some dishes was disappointing. Additionally, the price-to-quantity ratio was on the lower side.

It wasn’t bad, but we had expected more.

At checkout, the incorrectly delivered dishes were still included on our bill.

I recommend the blue spot grouper sashimi. Chinese style steamed grouper also very good. The Thai style steamed grouper was also good but not as good as the Chinese one imo. Crabs in all permutations were good too. Oyster omelette on hot metal plate thing also nice — the oyster is dangling from the dock the restaurant is built on. The veggie dishes are cooked very well especially kale. The coconut ice cream is really nice not too sweet. The staff is really nice and the place has a good vibe and nice view. Kind of think everyone who goes to Koh Mak should eat here at least once before they say some chicken green curry they had is the best Thai food on the island. C’mon people….

In two weeks ate here at least ten times because it was the best restaurant by...
