Prawn vermicelli - the taste is so-so, neither good nor bad. Jianxing's curry crab is well-deserved. This sauce is delicious when used with rice and fried chicken, and it is not spicy, which Xiao Feifei can accept. Fried fish - it looks tasteless, but the taste is actually infiltrated into the fish meat. It is crispy and delicious after being fried. ,,,
From the entrance to the interior decoration, this is a very Chinese restaurant. Bringing in drinks is not allowed inside the store, but customers can store them in the refrigerator. Because the store was hot and stuffy, we only ordered three dishes. Mango sticky rice, I think it's super delicious...
We arrived before 6 o'clock and had a seat (there was a long queue after 7 o'clock). We ordered the curry crab, big head prawn vermicelli, fried grouper, water spinach and fried rice recommended online. I don't eat spicy food, so I didn't order Tom Yum Goong soup. The curry crab and grouper were the most satisfactory. The taste was OK, much better than the curry crab I had in Chiang Mai later. The vermicelli prawns were not delicious, not recommended. The water spinach and fried rice were just average. The dining environment was not very good. It felt a bit crowded when the seats were full! With a bottle of beer and a glass of mango juice, the total cost was more than 1,800 bo, which was ok for the price.
My wife specially chose this seafood restaurant. The first page of the menu was the signature curry crab. I ordered it without hesitation. It tasted really good. I even ate the sauce with rice. It is really important to eat fresh seafood. Our group of 6 people rotated all the signature dishes and ate just over 2000B. I will come again when I come to Thailand in the future. They have a 10% service charge, but the service is pretty good and available whenever you call.
The curry crab and fried water spinach are delicious, better than those in Ban Zaan Seafood Market in Phuket, but the seafood is not that fresh, the vermicelli shrimp and fried grouper are just average, the price itself is not cheap, and a 10% service charge is added at the end. The key is that it feels like the waiter is more bragging and chatting, and does not provide much service. Overall, it's just average
The service is good, and the taste is also suitable for Chinese people. You have to wait for a table at 9 o'clock in the evening. Many Koreans and Japanese also come here. The curry crab and the fried shrimp in the typhoon shelter are must-orders. For fish, grouper is cheaper than sea bass. My parents have more traditional tastes and they think it is good. Finally, I want to add that I am from Guangdong, and I am used to eating seafood. I think the seafood is also relatively fresh.
The location is on the fourth floor of the mall, in a corner. I was afraid of queuing up if I went too late. You have to make reservations online at least 24 hours in advance. I went there at about 5pm. I didn't need to queue up. I went in and got my seat and started ordering. I ate at Jianxing Restaurant when I came to Thailand two years ago. Later, I lingered in Pattaya. I must come here to eat when I come to Bangkok again. Two people ordered a medium-sized curry crab for 550 baht. It turned out that a small portion was enough. The crab fried rice with this sauce was really great, but I still felt that the taste was not as rich as before. But it was pretty good. Great. Asparagus and shrimp were average, not good or bad, and the sauce was not collected well. Tom Yum soup was about 300 baht for a small portion. The portion was also quite large. The taste was heavier this time and too spicy. The shrimp inside was good and real. Fried shrimp balls were average. They were not the shrimp balls you imagine in China. They were elastic and looked like synthetic balls. I drank a bottle of beer and a can of Coke. The bill was 1,699 baht. I left another 40 baht tip. The overall dining experience was average. Many waiters stood in a row, chatting and laughing while watching you eat. The crab claws were not offered actively. When I asked for them, they were not given with a good face. I remember the taste and service were much better than this place before. If you haven't eaten here, you can try it! But the price-performance ratio is not high. The Wi-Fi is samboon or 5G. The password is currycrab. You can't use UnionPay for checkout, only visa or master. I like cash directly. I gave 2000 baht and it turned into more than 200!
