Frommer's Review

This place is good for anyone willing to sacrifice atmosphere for excellent food. Though it's packed nightly, you'll still be able to find a table because the place is so huge. The staff is extremely friendly -- between them and the picture menu, you'll have no problem picking out the best dishes. Peruse the large aquariums outside to see all the live seafood options such as prawn, fishes, lobsters, and crabs (guaranteed freshness). The house specialty, chili crab curry, is especially good, as is the tom yum goong soup (spiced to individual taste).
