SIAM Phuket - Seafood Restaurant

SIAM Phuket is a seafood restaurant on Thaweewong Road, directly opposite Patong Beach, just a short walk from the end of Bangla Road. It looks small and unpretentious from the outside, but inside it’s cool thanks to the air-conditioning and has a calm, family-friendly vibe. It’s an easy place to stop for a proper dinner — or to grab a quick bite before heading to the airport.

The focus here is on fresh seafood and bold Thai flavors. The menu features lobster (including garlic-style preparations), oysters, crab, and prawns, along with tender grilled fish and dishes like salt-crusted fish. Popular choices include tom yum (including Tom Yum Goong), pad thai, crab fried rice, morning glory, green papaya salad, basil chicken, tamarind prawns, fried squid, pineapple fried rice, and cheese-baked scallops. Portions are generous, flavors are rich, and the spice level is noticeable.

Service is fast and attentive: food arrives without a long wait, the staff are happy to recommend dishes, and they take requests seriously — including nut allergies. They can bring the fish to your table before cooking so you know exactly what you’re getting, and the final price is confirmed in advance, keeping everything transparent. The team is friendly, with some staff speaking Korean and a little Russian; they may also provide wet wipes and disposable gloves for eating seafood.

Prices are reasonable for a beachfront area, and drinks and beer are inexpensive. A couple of things to note: the tom yum can sometimes be spicier than expected, and lobster in a tourist neighborhood won’t be the cheapest — though the quality and taste make it worth it.
