What to expect

Seafood with a Garlicky Punch

This place centers on fresh seafood served with bold flavors, especially a famously garlicky lobster that dominates the palate. The peeled shrimp with shrimp paste on rice attempts to be a signature dish, though its quality varies noticeably. While some dishes lean toward generous and well-prepared, others reveal inconsistencies in freshness and texture. The setting feels slightly outdated, and the proximity to less appealing surroundings adds an odd contrast to the experience.

Lobster City · Reviews

The lobster with fried garlic here is seriously something else—so garlicky it could keep the vampires away for sure. I also liked the crab omelette; they don’t skimp on the filling. The fried rice was cooked just right, nothing soggy or underdone. The place itself feels a bit old-fashioned but that kind of adds to its charm in a way. Prices felt a bit steep for what we got, maybe because it’s popular with tourists, but the staff were friendly and attentive. Not sure if I’d rush back soon, but if you’re craving garlicky lobster and decent seafood dishes, it’s worth checking out once.

Lobster City offers a pleasant dining experience with a focus on fresh seafood. While their signature curry prawn rice could use a bit more flair, other dishes like the stir-fried morning glory and Tom yam are fairly average. However, the stir-fried scallop with garlic stands out as a highlight. The restaurant is easily accessible, though the interior feels slightly dated. Prices are on the higher side, likely due to its popularity with tourists, and while the staff is attentive, a return visit may depend on personal preference.

Lobster City impresses with its vibrant name and focus on prawn dishes. The restaurant is clean and boasts a beautiful interior, but what truly sets it apart are the delicious condiments that perfectly complement the seafood offerings. These tasty condiments elevate the dining experience, making it a top choice for seafood lovers.

Located near the vibrant Banthat Thong food street, Lobster City attracts both locals and tourists with its promising seafood dishes. Despite the lengthy wait times and slightly cramped seating, the flavorful rice dish with a blend of sauces, seafood, and fresh chilies makes the experience worthwhile. A tip for future visitors: consider visiting later at night to avoid the long queue, or order via Grab for convenience.

Prasoet (2025)

This bustling restaurant is known for its well-prepared seafood dishes, including a standout peeled shrimp with shrimp paste on rice at an affordable price. Though the spicy seafood dipping sauce isn't exceptional, the overall dining experience makes it worth revisiting. The menu features a variety of options, from lobster to crab meat, all cooked to order, making it a must-try for seafood enthusiasts.
