About SEA Bangkok

Tucked away in a residential Thonglor soi, SEA Bangkok cooks fresh seafood inside an intimate converted home. Regulars come for the massive charcoal-grilled river prawns and crunch of the garlic soft-shell crab, balanced by plates of sweet crab fried rice. The signature draw is their spicy house sauce served with deep-fried mantou—golden buns built to swipe through every drop. Diners also swear by the grilled prawns dipped in fiery nam jim seafood. It is strictly cash-only, though the staff keep a motorbike ready to run under-prepared diners to the nearest ATM.

  • Charcoal River Prawns & Crab: Fresh catches include sweet crab fried rice, garlic soft-shell crab, and smoky charcoal-grilled river prawns.
  • Signature SEA Sauce & Mantou: A proprietary sweet-spicy chili gravy paired with warm, crisp deep-fried buns for dipping.
  • Residential Alley Hideaway: Tucked into a quiet Thonglor soi, the intimate residential setting offers personal service and cold beer.
  • Cash Policy & ATM Transport: Settling up is strictly cash-only, with staff offering a quick motorbike lift to the nearest ATM if you run short.
