Best place to eat steam fish in North Jomtien

[schweizer]

just moved to the northern end of Jomtien beach, I am looking for recommendations for Thai steam fish restaurants on the northern side up to Dongtan, up to 30 minutes walk is fine.

 

I can find plenty in the south (Nah Jomtien) but not so much in the north

 

looking for something in walking distance

[NowNow]

Where is the northern end? Phra Tamnak? Have you looked at the Phra Tamnak sois?

Or did you mean that Dongtan is the furthest north? 

 

Maybe Rompho area has something.

That could be included yes, but I was rather hoping that someone already knew one, as from the outside they all look similar so personal experience is good

If you are near Phra Tamnak, try Cabbages & Condoms.

Let's get it straight. Dongtan/Phratumnak are SOUTH of Northern Jomtien?

Out of interest where do you think Jomtien beach (as quoted) starts?

Starts at Pratumnak and goes a few miles South

I am aware of where it is and do not require Geography lesson, I specifically stated north Jomtien beach, and mentioned Dongtan for those who are geographically limited.

 

I also mentioned that it would be good to be within 30 minutes walk

 

why is it not possible to ask a simple and accurate question without someone trying to make you look dumb?

Jomtien Beach starts nowhere near Phratumnak.

 

Jomtien starts at the Jomtien Welcome Arch outside Hemmingways so if you walk down to the beach along that road you are at the North end of Jomtien Beach, turn right and you are at the South end of Dongtan Beach. Walk 30 minutes North and you'll reach Phratumnak Beach.

 

So the OP should try Surf Kitchen on Jomtien Beach not far from that junction.

Hey, you asked him where he thought it was and he was replying to you.

 

You're just making yourself look dumb.

You are both wrong and correct at the same time. 😊

Even Google Maps indicates that Jomtien starts right next to Phra Tamnak: https://www.google.com/maps/search/jomtien+demarcation+map/@12.8978136,100.8519429,14z

 

Where you are correct is in the actual name of the beach. But then you wrote "Jomtien starts".... making yourself wrong again 😊

 

Then you mentioned Phra Tamnak beach....wrong again. It's YinYom beach.

 

 

[GypsyT]

Maybe Rompho area has something.

----------------------

They have popular salt coated grilled fish.

OR;

Try Russian night market at Phratamnak. They have many different fish, even grilled croc!

I've lived there 20 years and never heard it called YinYom Beach! Everyone there calls it Phratumnak Beach.

 

If you look at your map Jomtien First Road starts at that junction I mentioned and runs South, and Jomtien Second Road starts at the traffic lights where the Machanu statue is and runs South also. The road that they intersect is Thappraya which is the access road to Pattaya and which is what I'm basing my demarcation on, plus the Arch welcoming people to Jomtien Beach.

You should get out more 😊 So if you think that's where Jomtien begins, then what do you call the area in between the Police box and Phra Tamnak Soi 5? Phra Jomtien? Jomtien Noi?

 

I guess you don't know about Hu Kwang Bay either....

What a load of off topic nonsense.....arguing about beach names.

If the OP is happy with a fish in a tin, fish shaped pan, over a small burner, it is a standard at any Thai restaurant....no shortage of those. 

[Andycoops]

I like the Surf kitchen on the beach road for Thai food including fish, with a view of the sea looking out to Koh Larn.

[champers]

My other half is a big fan of the steamed sea bass at Kiss Food and Drink on Second Road, opposite Soi 5. Hers came in a fish shaped tin with a burner, slathered in lime, garlic and chillies. Over 300 Baht a portion, if I recall correctly.

[jippytum]

i'm a consumer of fish and chips regularly in Pattaya. 

Currently my favourite place is the Golden Ferret.

Although that is not what the OP asked, nor is it in North Jomtien...do they do a steamed fish?

I've given that place at least three opportunities due to recommendations from other people. Perhaps each time, they've had an off day or some people just have very low standards. It's one of the few places wherein we rejected a dish as inedible. So salty that we couldn't eat it. Thai friend sent it back. Other visits weren't impressive either.

But is it the best place? 😊

I bet you hadn't heard of it before you googled it!

...and how much are you willing to place on that bet? I'm guessing a big fat nothing. I didn't Google it, you did. It's not on Google Maps, so you would have only been able to find it by searching the name that I gave you. Not all of us are totally ignorant of our surroundings twenty years later.

Of course it is; why else would I post if not to respond to the OP? 

[thailand49]

You are talking Steam fish, Thai or Chinese style?

I take the time songthaw or motorbike go all the way South to the very end as it turn there is a restaurant there each corner is the same restaurant.

On the Way down south on left big outdoor place with a giant crab outside lots of tour buses more expensive in my opinion Not as good.
