There I was, six floors above Pattaya's neon maze, face-to-face with what appeared to be Neptune's personal larder. The Big Fish restaurant had transformed into a temple of aquatic excess, a savage tribute to everything that swims, crawls, or lurks beneath the waves. A parade of prawns, an army of crabs, and creatures that would require a marine biology degree to properly identify. Some looked like they'd been recruited from the set of a Jules Verne movie. The prawns lay there, pink and pristine, like they'd been airbrushed by a perfectionist food photographer.

I had a pleasant dinner at Big Fish restaurant at the 6th Floor of the HOTEL. Atmosphere was very good as dinner was accompanied by soft live music executed by an amazing duo. The service was excellent and, as my first time there, all the options of the buffet were exaustively and well presented by Khun Nui who also assisted me through the dinner with professional attitude but extremely gentle and friendly, making me feel like at home. Food variety and quality top notch. Worth to visit again while in Pattaya!

We thought we go eat some ala carte, but we ended up taking the valentines buffet with free flow of wine and beer. It ended up to be a very good choise. Very friendly service and they guided us how to operate in the buffet, as almost everything is raw and you take them to cook to be prepared. You put some pins in the plate to be marked how you want them to be cooked and spicy or not. The glasses never got empty as service make sure of that. And got to mention the live band which was awesome, especially the guitar guy who clearly enjoyed it and jammed along!

Bali in this establishment today, I don’t know where there are so many laudatory reviews, they are written by people who have not even been to slightly above average restaurants. The service is not bad, but be prepared that you will be given one set of cutlery for the whole evening and that’s it, that is, the waiter moved my very dirty fork, which was covered in sauce from a dirty plate, onto my only napkin, took the plate away and left the fork, it turns out so “chic” restaurant problems with appliances. We were given 3 napkins for each family of 3 people, we had to ask, although in normal establishments they should be on the table, the dirty napkin lay on the table for an hour and a half until I threw it out myself, I’ll post a photo of the napkin, although the waiter came to clear the dishes. The tables are shabby, the napkins for the dishes are all stained, well, something like the local unlimited ones is a little higher level. The music is not bad, the food is not bad, but don’t expect anything wow, we took unlimited with cocktails for 1450 baht per person, the cocktails are not bad.
Output 3 stars maximum.

Famous? I saw it on YouTube in Pattaya and it was highly recommended, so I went there since it was close to my regular hotel. I didn't know the price, but I thought it must have gone up, so I went based on the price from the reviews. It's on the 6th floor. I think it's 1,039 THB per person, and if you add the all-you-can-drink option, it's an additional 300. Wine and beer are 300 each. You're shown to a table, and when you attach a clothespin (clip) to a plate and submit it to the person in charge of grilling, they'll bring it to the table number written on the clip. There are two types of clips, and the color determines how done you want it grilled. It costs more than 4,000 yen per person, it's not on the rooftop, and the all-you-can-drink wine can be chosen from white and red, but only one type from Chile. As for the type of food, it was as described elsewhere, with seafood being about three types of fish fillets, snow crab, fan shrimp (small to medium size), oysters, regular shrimp, and squid (I ate a lot of fan shrimp to get my money's worth). Also, the meat (some of it thawed) was chicken, pork, beef, lamb, hot Thai food, desserts, salads, fruits, and a BBQ of meat and seafood on the breakfast menu of a 3-4 star hotel. I think you can have a more memorable meal at a seafood restaurant in Pattaya for 2,000 baht for two people, so I learned that it's better to make an effort to find a good restaurant.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary booking the seafood buffet at Big Fish restaurant.
Great variety of food including choice of alcoholic or soft drinks all for a great price. Once you choose your fresh seafood and meat, its cooked by the chefs and brought to your table.
Entertainment as well with a lovely singer and guitarist, flexible playing song requests and along with the staff, went to individual tables to sing happy birthday or wedding anniversary in our case, complete with cake and candle for each one celebrating.
Cannot express how fantastic the staff are here. Special thanks to Dear, Joy, Kung, Park, Tommy including the breakfast team, Aee, SA and all of the team members. The staff really understand customer service and make you feel welcome and valued. Nothing is too much trouble.
We highly recommend the seafood buffet for a great night out or breakfast for a lovely experience with wonderful staff.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Siam Siam Hotel! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly attentive and always went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was nothing short of amazing – every meal was a delightful culinary experience, with a great variety of delicious dishes to choose from. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a wonderful blend of modern comforts and traditional elegance. We can't wait to return and enjoy another memorable stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch experience.

The buffet at this restaurant offers excellent value for money, priced at around 700 baht per person. The service provided by the staff was outstanding, and the entire team is exceptionally kind and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy, with artwork adorning the walls, creating a pleasant ambiance. The food is on par with that of 5-star hotels, featuring delicious and fresh meats, especially seafood, complemented by an amazing viewing experience.

A very different and special experience. We were looked after so well by all the staff especially mo and dear. You choose your food. Mostly fish but meat and chicken also. And bring it to the chef who will cook it to your taste and then you will have it served at the table. Wine was lovely. Sushi and desserts were delicious.

Went to the Big Fish Buffet at Siam Siam hotel on second road in Pattaya, the reviews had been every good and I wanted to treat my gf for her birthday 🎈🎂🎈🎂🎈 the restaurant is ok the 6th floor and had a lovely ambiance, tall glass windows and ceiling make it feel very large and inviting. The food variety is amazing and will suit everyone from vegetarian to carnavore, you can have your sea food spicy or cajun extra spicy. What I can say is the selection is wonderful and the price is reasonable IMO, there are different levels you can choose from and they all come with buffet and the change is what you'd like to drink, we chose the 2nd open with soda pop as we don't drink much. That was something like 945 baht/person. Under $40 Canadian which I think it a deal.
The staff are wonderful and attend to ever need immediately, I want to thek them all, KK, Tommy, Aee, Warn, Toey and Mo, for having a birthday cake and the live music singer come to our table and sing happy birthday to my lady.
I will definitely go again.!!!

The staff, the food and the service has been magnificent. But a special shout out to Aee he is a real 'feel good' kind of guy.....always greets us with a smile and remembers our cappuccino order. Shakes Mick's hand when we leave, he really brightens the start of every one of our days...we missed him on his days off, and were happy to see him back

My family and I decided to have dinner here. Very tasty, varied. Nice atmosphere with live music. We were served by Parn and Mild, they were very polite, constantly refilling our drinks and clearing the dishes on time. They also helped us take a photo together))))

Come eat with the family. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very good. There is live music to listen to. The singers sing a variety of beautiful songs. The food is fresh and delicious. There is grilled food, buckets of seafood, desserts, chocolate fondue, ice cream, very delicious. The young people provide very good service. Nong Pae, the hostess, takes us to sit at a table with a beautiful view. Nong Pan and Nong Joy, the interns, are smiling and cute, and Nong Eve, who walks the food, gives detailed advice on how to grill. Willing to explain Nong Mai who lives at the bar Makes very delicious cocktails. You can order cocktails in bulk. Nong Deer, who is a zone employee, is good. Cute, always asking. Overall, everything is very good. Very impressed. I will bring friends and family back again. ❤️❤️

Go for the seafood buffet. The grilled prawns and steamed crabs are fresh. Raw oysters are iffy. There are a few other foods but really the accent is on the seafood. It's not a high-end place but a casual place with live singing. Staff are for the most part very cheerful and friendly. Wine package is cheap but it's common table wine, and the red may not even be grape wine. One problem is they accept Mainland Chinese tour groups. They should put them in a separate room, like what some buffet places do in pre-Covid times. There are regular clients and booking is essential.
