Seafood Thai
The giant orange crab statue out front removes any ambiguity about what you're getting into. This is a sprawling Thai seafood restaurant where the shrimp, prawns, and crabs spend their last hours in tanks rather than in a freezer, and the kitchen leans into a herby, fragrant style. Inside mixes industrial and rustic touches with a stage for live music; outside, a small garden with a fountain handles the quieter tables.

Rank 17. Nina's
Thai
Herbs and vegetables grow steps from the kitchen, so the betel leaves and basil in your plate were in the ground that morning. Nina's is a Thai restaurant tucked into greenery outside Pak Chong, with two ways to eat: inside among chandeliers and vintage furniture, or in the garden where the shade does the air-conditioning's job. The menu leans on house-grown produce, and a handful of dishes are the chef's own invention.
