This was, without exaggeration, the worst restaurant I have ever been to — and the fact that it has been mentioned in the Michelin Guide for 6 years makes the experience even more shocking. The hype is completely undeserved, and the reality is chaos, dirt, and disappointment.
There is no host stand, no hospitality, and no organization whatsoever. To even get in line, you have to walk through a fruit shop and find a messy whiteboard with a marker. That’s their “queue system.” No proper waiting area, no order, and just one person randomly calling names. They even have a microphone, but for some reason don’t use it — so customers are left in total confusion.
I waited over an hour just to get a table, and then another hour for food. During that time, the place looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in days. The floor under the tables and chairs was completely trashed — food scraps, napkins, and litter everywhere. It was uncomfortable, unhygienic, and honestly disgusting.
The so-called queue kept getting shorter not because tables were moving, but because people simply gave up and left. Looking back, I wish I had too.
When the food finally arrived, it was bland, carelessly prepared, and absolutely not worth the price. Dishes here are five times more expensive than normal, but taste like something from a cheap roadside stall — except without the charm, flavor, or friendliness. It’s nothing but a rip-off disguised under an old Michelin mention.
In short: Mae Klong Hua Pla Mo Fai is chaotic, dirty, disorganized, overpriced, and overrated. The food is not special, the service is nonexistent, and the whole experience is a waste of time and money. If you value your sanity, skip this place — there are hundreds of better, cleaner, cheaper, and tastier restaurants in Thailand.
