All 15 Scallop Dishes

Seared Scallop on Crispy Coconut Milk Cupcake

Charmgang

Talat Noi·$$

THB220.00

A single seared scallop served on a crispy coconut milk base as a starter.

Tip: Order this with the first round — it's a small plate and disappears fast if you wait.

XO Scallops

S.B.L.

Wang Burapha Phirom·$$

THB480.00

Scallops stir-fried with house-made XO sauce, listed by Michelin as a must-try.

Tip: Order this with jasmine rice — the XO sauce is very good over plain rice and the scallops are too rich to eat alone.

Scallop in Half Shell

Akira Back Bangkok

Khlong Toei·$$$

THB480.00

Fresh scallop with kimchi bacon and gochujang.

Tip: The gochujang has a kick — if you're sensitive to spice, ask for it on the side so you can control the heat level.

Baked Rice with Hotate Scallops

Lawoi (Urak Lawoi)

Pathum Wan·$$$

THB480.00

Clay pot rice baked with scallops, crab fat, and Thai herbs.

Tip: Order this for the table — it's large and rich. Scrape the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot; that's the best part.

Hokkaido Scallop in Inji Puli with Roasted Cauliflower Puree

INDDEE

Lumphini·$$$$

THB3200.00

Raw scallop with mango and ginger pickle, served alongside cauliflower puree.

Tip: The inji puli is the star—it's made fresh and changes seasonally. The amount of ginger in the pickle controls the heat level.

#690% recommend

Plancha-Seared Hokkaido Scallops

SEEN Restaurant & Bar

Thon Buri·$$$

THB1500.00

Premium Hokkaido scallops seared on a hot plancha until caramelized.

Tip: This is priced premium but reviewers say the quality matches. Order if you want the full SEEN experience.

#789% recommend

Southern Scallop Curry

80/20

Talad Noi·$$$

THB1400.00

Tender scallops in a southern-style curry with locally sourced coconut and regional spices.

Tip: The 14-day curry paste preparation is worth asking about — the fermentation creates layers that simple curry doesn't have.

Scallop En Croute

Mezzaluna

Bang Rak·$$$$

THB2400.00

Notsuke scallop wrapped in a pastry crust with abalone, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, and karasumi caviar.

Tip: Eat this course while the pastry is still warm — it loses its crispness after 2-3 minutes.

#988% recommend

Hokkaido Scallops with Bluefin Tuna and Truffle Ponzu

MIA

Khlong Tan·$$$$

Premium scallops paired with bluefin tuna and N25 caviar in truffle ponzu.

Tip: The N25 caviar adds a luxurious brininess that complements both the scallop and tuna. Eat it in one bite to get all the flavors together.

#1087% recommend

Scallop with Satay Sauce

Potong

Yaowaraj·$$$

THB1300.00

Perfectly cooked scallop with Thai satay sauce, crushed peanuts, and local chilies.

Tip: Request the spice level when ordering — the default chili heat is moderate, but Chef can adjust up or down.

#1187% recommend

Pan-Seared Diver Scallops

Scarlett

Bang Rak·$$$

THB1350.00

Large diver scallops seared in butter with seasonal citrus and herbs.

Tip: Scallops are typically 2-3 minutes per side max — order early in your meal so the kitchen isn't rushed. Overcooked scallops are ruined, and timing is everything.

#1286% recommend

Scallop with Foie Gras Foam

Enoteca

Watthana·$$$

Scallop topped with foie gras foam and fish roe.

Tip: The foie gras is served as a foam rather than a heavy terrine, keeping the dish light for a starter.

#1385% recommend

Scallop with Shrimps Shu-Mai

Yào Bar

Bangrak·$$$

THB258.00

Open-topped dumpling with scallop, shrimp, and pork in wheat wrapper.

Tip: This is more expensive than pork-only shu-mai. Order it if you want something richer or if you've already had basic versions at other restaurants.

#1485% recommend

Pan-Seared Scallop with Thai Basil Beurre Blanc

Begin Again

Lat Yao·$$

THB390.00

Tender scallops with a Thai basil-infused butter sauce and crispy rice crackers.

Tip: Watch the scallops as they come out — they should have a golden crust but still be translucent in the center. This is how you know they got the sear right.

#1580% recommend

Seafood Mushroom Soup

Yu Her Bao

Bang Rak·$$

THB119.00

Hot and sour soup with shrimp, scallop, and shiitake mushroom.

Tip: Ask staff to reduce white pepper if you're sensitive to heat. The soup is designed to warm, not burn.
