The pier location is spectacular and its bustle and open kitchen have attracted us to eat here a number of times over the years. The good points are still there but the less good are more pronounced. The top end fish dishes (whole pomfret fish, sea bass, snapper and prawns) are truly excellent and 5 star as ever. The standard... More

This is an amazing restaurant with a very special and dynamic atmosphere because of the great mix of people, the excellent food, the helpful sometimes awkward staff members, the beautiful view over the sea,it is like good cabaret ,funny indeed. But you will come back like I do, indeed

Fantastic seafood in a prime location over looking the sea , The prawns and the whole fish are to die for , but that’s where it stops , the service is awful the staff rude and unhelpful , worth it for the food and location , but that’s it.

This restaurant is the best of the seafront restaurants in Hua Hin town centre. The food is reasonably priced, good quality and the staff very efficient. It is busy because the Thai's seem to prefer it, perhaps that says it all.We tried some others but kept coming back to this one. It is Thia seafood but you can have rock... More

Not our first visit to Chao Lay and not our last either. Still has a huge following, yet, they always manage and despite not taking bookings due to popularity, they still found us a table by the sea in a few minutes. Service is still good, quality and value for money still excellent. The place has a real buzz to... More

Service was a bit of a mix up, but they rectified this, food came incredibly quickly...and was... More

Some really really great food, very nice wait staff, they move fast and you have your food fast, but you're free to sit and enjoy the view. The food was SPECTACULAR, really... it tasted very fresh!! Oh and they take Credit card, which can be a blessing when in Thailand trying to conserve cash money!
