All 44 Shrimp Dishes

Pad Thai Goong (Prawn Pad Thai)

Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu

Phra Nakhon·$

THB350.00

Charcoal-wok pad thai with fresh prawns over a smoky, tamarind-forward noodle base.

Tip: If you're going to splurge, the prawn version is where the charcoal smoke integrates most noticeably with the seafood. But the Berkshire pork at 220 THB offers better overall value.

Tom Yum Talay (Seafood)

Lek & Rut Seafood

Yaowarat·$$

THB280.00

Spicy and sour soup with a mixed seafood selection and lemongrass broth.

Tip: This is the right size for two to three people sharing. One bowl between the table is enough — it's rich and the grilled mains are filling.

Fresh Spring Rolls with Herb Dipping

Or Tor Kor Market

Chatuchak·$$

THB50.00

Rice paper rolls filled with fresh herbs, vegetables, and optional protein, served with peanut sauce.

Tip: The herbs and lettuce at Or Tor Kor are noticeably fresher than other market stalls — the rolls taste cleaner and brighter.

Classic Pad Thai Sen Chan

Thipsamai

Phra Nakhon·$$

THB159.00

Traditional pad thai with sun-dried sen chan noodles, shrimp, and the house prawn oil.

Tip: If you want to taste the prawn oil and noodle texture without the egg, order this version. The subtle smokiness comes through more clearly.

Miang Khana

Kwantip

Phayathai·$$$

THB1390.00

Thai kale leaf wraps with seasoned filling.

Tip: These come first — pace yourself. The wrap is meant to be eaten in one bite to get all the flavors at once.

Tom Yum Mixed Seafood Soup (No Noodles)

Jeh O Chula - Rong Muang

Pathum Wan·$

THB180.00

Classic tom yum soup with prawns, squid, and mussels.

Tip: Order this if you arrive before 11pm — you get the tom yum flavor without waiting for the MAMA noodles to be available.

#794% recommend

Steamed Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow)

Shang Palace

Bang Rak·$$$

THB140.00

Translucent wrapper encasing whole shrimp, delicate and briny.

Tip: Order this first as a quality test. If the wrapper is thick or the shrimp doesn't taste briny, the restaurant is having an off day.

#892% recommend

Tapi River Prawn with Rice Crackers

Sorn

Khlong Tan·$$$$

THB7700.00

River prawn seasoned with coriander root, garlic, black pepper and green mango over jasmine rice.

Tip: Break the crackers into the rice — they add texture and absorb the seasoning.

#992% recommend

Superb Pad Thai Wrapped in Egg

Thipsamai

Phra Nakhon·$$

THB129.00

Rice noodles stir-fried with shrimp oil and fresh prawns, wrapped in a thin egg crepe.

Tip: Add fresh bean sprouts, herbs, lime juice, and crushed peanuts from the condiment tray to customize the flavor. The restaurant expects you to adjust to your taste.

#1092% recommend

Tom Yum Goong

Terminal 21 Food Court (Pier 21)

Sukhumvit, Asoke·$

THB50.00

Spicy and sour prawn soup with lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime.

Tip: Ask for it extra spicy only if you're used to Thai heat. Their medium spice is already quite strong.

#1192% recommend

Drunken Noodles

Jay Fai

Phra Nakhon·$$

THB600.00

Flat rice noodles stir-fried with seafood, fresh chili, basil, and crispy coconut palm hearts.

Tip: The default spice level is quite hot — if you prefer less heat, inform Jay Fai when ordering. She's happy to adjust.

#1292% recommend

Tom Yum Goong (Spicy Prawn Soup)

Somboon Seafood

Bang Rak·$$

THB420.00

Tangy and spicy prawn soup with lemongrass, galangal, and lime balanced for depth.

Tip: The broth is what defines this soup — sip it between spoonfuls of prawn to fully appreciate the balance. Ask for extra lime juice if you prefer sourness.

#1392% recommend

Phadthai Goong Sod (Fresh Prawn Pad Thai)

Baan Phadthai

Bang Rak·$$

THB280.00

Sen Jan rice noodles stir-fried with fresh whole prawns in the 18-ingredient house sauce.

Tip: It's a 3-minute walk from Saphan Taksin BTS (exit 2, then follow Charoen Krung road to soi 44). Easier to reach than most old-town restaurants.

#1492% recommend

Grilled River Prawns

T&K Seafood

Chinatown·$$

THB150.00

Large prawns grilled over charcoal and served with spicy dipping sauce.

Tip: Watch them grill your prawns on the sidewalk — you want them fresh off the charcoal with the shells slightly charred.

#1592% recommend

Tom Yum Ice Cream

Gaggan

Sukhumvit·$$$$

THB12000.00

Dehydrated shrimp head filled with chilled tom yum ice cream.

#1691% recommend

Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls

Ăn Cơm Ăn Cá

Sathorn·$$

THB280.00

Fried spring rolls with whole shrimp filling.

#1790% recommend

Ha Gaw (Shrimp Dumpling)

Yào Bar

Bangrak·$$$

THB188.00

Translucent shrimp and bamboo shoot dumpling with semi-transparent wrapper.

Tip: Order this at the rooftop bar (5pm onwards) with a signature cocktail. The evening light on the Bangkok skyline pairs better with shrimp dumplings than heavy items.

#1890% recommend

THB450.00

Grilled seafood poured with spicy bang bang sauce directly onto your table.

Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

Yu Her Bao

THB99.00

Plump shrimp in translucent rice paper wrappers with bamboo shoots.

Tip: The wrappers here are thinner than standard dim sum—a sign of hand-crafted execution. Appreciate the delicacy rather than tearing them immediately.

Sukhumvit, Asoke·$

THB35.00

Stir-fried rice noodles with tamarind, eggs, peanuts, and choice of protein.

#2189% recommend

Pad Thai with Shrimp Shot

Potong

Yaowaraj·$$$

THB1200.00

Chef Pam's reinterpreted pad thai served with a shrimp shot and traditional accompaniments.

Tip: Eat the pad thai immediately — the dish loses its textural contrast if it sits more than a minute after plating.

#2289% recommend

Dry Tom Yum

Jay Fai

Phra Nakhon·$$

THB800.00

Stir-fried dry tom yum with prawns, incorporating all the aromatic tom yum spices into noodles.

#2389% recommend

#2488% recommend

Steamed Siew Mai with Crab

Shang Palace

Bang Rak·$$$

THB140.00

Open-topped pork and shrimp dumpling crowned with crab roe.

Tip: The chunky filling is what sets Shang Palace apart from dim sum-lite versions. Chew slowly to appreciate the textural mix.

#2588% recommend

Jay Fai

Phra Nakhon·$$

THB700.00

Classic tom yum soup with large jumbo prawns, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass.

Pho Aroi

Bang Na·$

THB150.00

Crispy Vietnamese pancake with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts.

#2787% recommend

Goi Cuon

Pho Aroi

THB130.00

Fresh spring rolls with pork belly, shrimp, and herbs.

Tip: The peanut sauce is rich — a little goes a long way, so don't drown the rolls.

#2887% recommend

Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp and Pork

Ăn Cơm Ăn Cá

Sathorn·$$

THB250.00

Banh cuon filled with shrimp and pork.

Tip: Use chopsticks gently — the rice sheets are thin and can tear if you're too aggressive.

#2986% recommend

Shrimp Quesadilla

La Lupita

Silom·$$

THB350.00

Griddled tortilla filled with shrimp, cheese, peppers, and caramelized onion.

Tip: The quesadilla is pressed flat on the griddle to maximize crust development. Appreciate the crispy-to-creamy ratio.

#3085% 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.

#3185% recommend

Pad Thai

Sukhumvit Soi 38 Night Market

Thonglor·$

THB40.00

Stir-fried thin rice noodles with tamarind, shrimp, tofu, and bean sprouts.

Tip: Ask for it a bit spicy — the default is usually mild. The best stalls make it to order in front of you, so watch the wok.

#3285% recommend

Pancit Palabok

Kalamansi Kafe

Sathorn·$$

THB189.00

Rice noodles in a savory tamarind-based sauce topped with shrimp, egg, and crispy fried shallots.

Tip: Don't let it sit — eat it immediately so the noodles don't absorb all the sauce and the fried shallots stay crispy.

#3385% recommend

Tom Yum Goong

T&K Seafood

Chinatown·$$

THB200.00

Spicy and sour soup with river prawns, lemongrass, and galangal.

Tip: Order this with rice to balance the heat and sourness — it's too intense to have as a standalone dish for most people.

#3485% recommend

Shrimp Wonton Soup with Crab Meat

Prachak Roasted Duck

Bang Rak·$

THB70.00

Clear broth with handmade shrimp wontons, crab meat, and greens.

Tip: The crab meat portions are genuinely generous, not just a token garnish like at some places.

#3584% recommend

Creamy Seafood Fried Rice

Jay Fai

Phra Nakhon·$$

THB500.00

Wok-fried rice with mixed seafood, egg, and cream, finished with crispy shallots.

Tip: Watch Jay Fai work if you can — her wok tosses and single-handed plating technique are worth observing while you wait for your dish.

#3682% recommend

Or Tor Kor Market

Chatuchak·$$

THB80.00

Shrimp paste mixed with pork, wrapped in banana leaves, and grilled over charcoal.

#3782% recommend

Yum Watermelon

80/20

Talad Noi·$$$

THB900.00

Refreshing watermelon salad with Thai spices, dried shrimp, and fresh herbs.

Haoma

Phrom Phong·$$$

THB850.00

Haoma-grown tear drop peas with pickled shrimp, cumin dhokla, and local microgreens.

Rice Rolls with Shrimp (Cheung Fun)

Shang Palace

Bang Rak·$$$

THB120.00

Silky rice noodle rolls filled with fresh shrimp and topped with soy sauce.

Sichuan Shrimp Wontons

Yu Her Bao

Bang Rak·$$

THB119.00

Wontons in numbing chili oil with Sichuan peppercorn heat.

Tip: If you're sensitive to chili heat or numbness, request the wontons without the chili oil. The dumpling itself is mild.

#4181% recommend

Boat Noodle Alley

Thung Phaya Thai·$

THB18.00

Pink-hued noodles in a broth colored by fermented red tofu, with mixed seafood.

Tip: Try yen ta fo if you've had boat noodles multiple times — it's a different flavor profile at the same alley.

THB250.00

Oversized bowl of instant MAMA noodles in tom yum broth with mixed seafood, pork, and eggs.
