Description

For quality seafood that won’t burn a hole in your pocket, look no further than Sornthong. Easily identified by the crowds dining beneath a large yellow sign in Thai and Chinese, this family-run shop has done a booming trade in prime fresh fish for more than 20 years. Ingredients are taken from tanks outside the restaurant, then cooked under the watchful eye of Mr. Chai – fried oysters with creamy eggs and a sweet-sour-spicy chilli sauce are a must-try. Away from the sea, keep an eye out for the well-marinated grilled pork satay.

Review summary

Sornthong, located in Khlong Toei, is a family-run Thai-Chinese seafood restaurant with a Michelin background. Reviews highlight fresh ingredients and tasty dishes like curry crab and grilled squid. However, experiences vary significantly. While some praise the reasonable value and attentive service, others report poor service, slow pacing, and shabby or unclean conditions, with isolated reports of food safety issues. The ambiance is basic and authentic rather than fancy. It suits travelers seeking genuine local flavors who can tolerate a non-premium environment.
