About This Spot

Walking into Tong Talay Seafood Buffet, you’re greeted by a relaxed and inviting atmosphere where the casual hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the gentle coastal breeze. Nestled in the heart of Ao Nang, this buffet spot has a friendly, approachable vibe that makes it feel more like gathering around a shared table with friends than a typical restaurant. The pace here is unhurried — perfect for settling into an evening of savoring the flavors of the sea without rush or fuss.

The heart of the experience lies in the joy of discovery: fresh seafood laid out invitingly, waiting for you to choose your favorites. Whether grilling your catch yourself or entrusting the skilled staff to prepare it for you, there’s a warmth in the shared ritual of bringing each bite to life. The air is filled with the gentle aroma of grilled shellfish and spices, balancing perfectly with the bright, tangy notes of local delicacies served alongside. This is a place where the simple pleasure of food connects closely with the rhythms of the coastal lifestyle.

Beyond the seafood, you might find moments of unexpected delight — like the soft sweetness of sticky rice paired with mango, or the crisp, comforting embrace of roti fresh from the griddle. These little touches add layers of comfort to the meal, echoing the generosity of the place and its people. The staff’s friendliness and attentiveness contribute quietly but meaningfully, making each visit feel a bit like coming home.

Most importantly, Tong Talay invites you to slow down and engage with the meal as more than just nourishment. Here, every shared plate fosters connection, whether with longtime friends or newfound companions drawn together by a mutual love for seafood’s vibrant bounty. This is a buffet where freshness is felt in every taste, and where the evening stretches out in easy enjoyment, marked by subtle human moments and the simple, satisfying pleasure of a good meal well shared.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an amazing dinner here! Great variety of fresh seafood — prawns, crab, squid, oysters and more — all excellent quality and delicious. You can grill your own seafood or have the staff cook it for you, which was super fun and tasty. Service was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was casual and relaxed, perfect for a seafood feast with friends or family. Really good value for money too! Highly recommend

The place is full of awesome fresh seafood that I just cant stop eating the prawns, forgetting to take pictures for the rest. I went twice in a row for my dinner. 1st time (wed night) there isn't any live prawns but they are still not that bad. 2nd time (thurs night), there are more live items than the day before. For 2nd experience, i left space for some clams and other food that is on buffet table. Before leaving the place, I tipped the staff again and also this time, I gave some to the staff for the nursing mother (stray) and her kittens. May you all grow up strong.

Seafood Buffet Review The seafood here is incredibly fresh — from blue crabs, seabass, oysters, horseshoe crab, river prawns, and various kinds of crabs and fish. The cooked dishes are also delicious. The restaurant is clean, the staff are friendly and attentive, and there are plenty of desserts and drinks to choose from. Highly recommended! 10/10

I first came to this restaurant years ago, and today I visited again with my friends — they all said the same thing: they really like this place. The seafood here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious The price is very reasonable, especially when you consider the outstanding quality and freshness of the ingredients. The river prawns might vary in size from day to day, but most of the time they are impressively large, juicy, and perfectly fresh. The roti is also superb — crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and pairs wonderfully with the dishes. Every bite feels like a treat, making this a place well worth visiting for seafood lovers

The food here is all fantastic!! Seafood is so fresh like they just catch them from the sea. I love all of their seafood sauce especially when dipping with blue crabs, sea basses, big prawns, and horseshoe crabs. Oysters is also big and unbelievable tasty. I don’t expect I will find such a good seafood in small town. Thanks to google map who leads us here. Last Somtam is so delicious

Tong Talay Seafood Restaurant – Krabi Excellent value for money. 800 baht per person for an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet with an impressive selection. All the seafood was super fresh, great quality, and with plenty of choices. Fish, crabs, prawns, and more are cooked for you – grilled, steamed, or prepared the way you like. The service was very good, attentive and efficient, which made the experience even better. There’s a good selection of drinks available; please note the restaurant is halal, so alcohol is not served. Highly recommended if you love fresh seafood and want a satisfying, high-quality meal in Krabi.

Crazy place! Good seafood, attentive service, and delicious desserts – the roti is a must-try. During peak hours, things can get a bit hectic, especially with the steamed crab . People rush for it, sometimes getting impatient and causing delays, so you may need to wait another 15 minutes for the next batch. The sauce station is impressive, with plenty of ingredients to create your own mix, ranging from sweet to several levels of spiciness. They also offer a variety of prepared dishes, such as crab curry, garlic and chilli shrimp, and much more. For lighter options, there are fresh vegetables to boil, different types of mushrooms, and a selection of noodles. Overall, it’s a great spot. I’ll come back to update this review tomorrow... you know
