จอมเทียน ทะเลเผา พัทยา in Chon Buri

"I usually avoid buffets coz being greedy to eat, I always overeat.. .. true enuff I'm so very full now.. burp.. ... Prawns n crabs were swimming in the waters, how fresher can they be?.. scallops, mussels, blood crockers, bamboo clams, oysters, snails, beef, pork, salmon fillets, assortment of salads, rows of cooked food, desserts n fruits in the fridge, self service sodas of many kinds, ice creams, etc.. all for B429 per person. Well worth the price for these generous amount of fresh food. Quickly replenished by the attentive staffs, they also came many times to all tables to clear out shells or things we need to throw away. Service was good.. 1 star ⭐ taken away coz the air was a bit stuffy, I smelled like a walking kitchen after. And it was only to grill or BBQ, no chance for a pot to boil like a hotpot thingy. Coz some seafood wud had tasted better in hot water than dried out in the charcoals. Oh, they take B100 as deposit n return to u when u leave, just to make u leave behind their sissors, tongs, forks n spoons, etc.. From Pattaya beach, it's about a 20 minutes drive, try arriving early when it's bright n get better seats."

"I'm giving you this excellent address, which is a typical Asian seafood buffet restaurant. There are no tourists here. However, if you are a fan of seafood and shellfish, this is one of the best places in Pattaya and Jomtien. The quality of the food is exceptional, as is the variety, the service is impeccable, it is clean and, given the daily turnover of the establishment, everything is perfectly fresh. At 400 baht per person for an all-you-can-eat buffet, it's a real bargain. When I go to the Naklua seafood market and buy the equivalent of what I ate tonight at this restaurant, it easily costs me four times as much. There's no equivalent in France, but if there were, it would easily cost €80 per person. Be aware that this place is very well known and popular with Asian customers, so it gets very, very crowded."

"The food is very nice, the shrimp and crab are still alive when they are being cooked. Good place for friends gathering."

"Jomtien Talay Pao Pattaya 429 Baht All-You-Can-Eat Seafood BBQ! This buffet is a self-service restaurant featuring fresh live seafood! Enter, pay the fee, and the staff brings you to a table with bbq grill. Staff provides plastic cups, chopsticks, and cutlery. There are four food stations to choose from; fresh seafood, hot buffet, cold buffet and chef cooked items. Most of the crab and shellfish are still alive in the dry zone; you choose your crabs and place them in the ice bath. After a few minutes, bring it to your grill and enjoy. The shellfish is chosen in the same manner; two kinds of crab, shrimp, squid, octopus and sliced fish. The shellfish, clams, mussels and oysters will open up and once cooked. The cold salad bar offers seafood sauce, salads, sliced meats for grilling and chilled seafood. Jomtien Talay Pao is great for families and diners will really enjoy the free flow soft drinks, juices and ice cream. Ask before opening beer or wine; staff is really helpful with providing ice and glasses. It does get hot here with all the grilling and heat of Pattaya."

"What's so great about this place the fact that have so much choice of sea food as well as usual beef and pasta, chips and nuggets, it is always busy even midweek, however now you can book a day in advance."

"429 Baht All-You-Can-Eat Seafood BBQ! Fresh live seafood! Free flow of soft drinks and juices. Any cheaper and fresher you'll have to swim to the ocean and catch it yourself."

"Very authentic experience of the seafood buffet at the local place. It is a little bit far from the beachside but totally worth the travel. The seafoods were fresh and the atmosphere was fun! I would definitely come back again next time in town."

"This buffet is truly self-service; you just pay the fee, and they will give you clamps, plastic cups, chopsticks, and cutlery. Most of the crab and shellfish are still alive; you can choose the live crab from the dry zone, while some may be dead. When you grill or toast them, sometimes they just stare at you and point to your face, as if trying to say something, and their legs just pop out from the main body. The same goes for the shellfish; they will open up and welcome you to take them out once cooked. The seafood condiments they offer are really good. Overall, it wasn’t bad at all, but I don’t like having to do everything myself; it feels like too much hard work just to eat."
