Somboon Seafood restaurant
Savor the original Fried Curry Crab together with Tom Yum Goong dishes you'll never find anywhere else.

As a country occupying long coastal lines, seafood is one of the top list of all Thai dishes.  (Tom Yum Goong is a good proof for this.)  That said, finding a seafood restaurant in Thailand is not quite difficult.  But finding a good one is another thing.  

Seafood for Thais mean "slow eats, big meal."  Seafood must be served fresh requiring long cooking time.  Therefore, it is more common to see Thais in a seafood restaurant or a cozy food stall not in a food court for quick eats.            

Of all the seafood restaurants in Bangkok, Somboon Seafood restaurant is among the leaders and the pioneer.  Somboon Seafood is famous for Tom Yum Goong  or Sweet and spicy prawn soup and Curried crab or Fried crab in curry which the restaurant boasts as the originator.  The restaurant is very popular among Thais, expatriates, and tourists including Japan's former prime minister, Mr.Koizumi where his photo is also displayed at the restaurant.  Somboon Seafood restaurant has several branches around Bangkok.

Reveiw
Fried curry crab is a popular Thai seafood dish and Somboon Seafood who claims to be the originator deserves so.  The restaurant also excels in Tom Yum Goong or sweet and spicy sour prawn soup (Thailand's most renown dish,) and fried morning glory flower.  Most dishes here are rich and not so spicy.  Children can be seen enjoying the food here as well.   

Do note that Somboon Seafood's fried curry crab can be a little sweet for some sensitive eaters.  It's rich and oily and to balance out, should be to be eaten the Thai way, with steam rice.       

Somboon Seafood restaurant is ideal for
Food lovers especially seafood 5/5
